Scoring: IMP


Trying fun money bridge I was sitting south. My human opponent was the doubler west. When I redoubled 5♦, to my incredulity my partner Gib bid 6♦, thus cheating me out of 180 x 2 cents =$3.60 in pretend money and exposing me to the risk of not making..... Hmm interesting.. Maybe Gib thought that west was not human and would double 6♦

How did this cheat you out of 3.60?

5D xx'd+1 = 1400
6D = 1370

Net 30. Cost 30 cents.

Now if 6D had gone down..... :D

Silly bot.

He made 7 by setting up the hearts?
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

I don't think that works, but you can pitch 3 clubs in dummy on spades and crossruff.

True, but if you make 7, the score is 1800 vs. 1390, so the bot cheated you out of 4.10.

Still a silly bot, though.

:D
