Wozness

Lol, mucho Lol.

My friend and I have been playing on BBO for quite a while now. We have always been satisfied with the level of expertise of the Bots, no real complaints, the odd glitch, but lately the Bots have been doing some very strange and stupid things. I had one hand today where 7 tables made a 3NT, 4 didnt (my bot included). And I have seen this many times in the past few months. The bots are also overbidding, going totally overboard. My friend and I also came across a number of examples where 10 or more tables made the contract, and we get 0%, failing. We could see absolutely no reason why, as the tricks we lost could not possibly be won ? Until we looked at the other hands, and found that a different suit lead had occurred. On one hand up to 20 people had made the contract, we were the only one that failed. The Advanced Bots are making the crazy overbids. Is BBO in the process of testing a new version of the bots ? In which case, I work in IT, and I understand how programs can go wrong inadvertently. But its getting pretty bad now. Any Admin, please feel free to take a look at some of my hands.

Im having the same problem with a friend BobbyBerry. The moment I open up a table to play together, he disappears off my logged in list. If I reserve a seat for him, it says he is offline. We cannot play together. If he opens a table, I disappear off his friends list. Either we have both done something out of the ordinary to our settings, or this is a bug, cos we dont play with our settings.
