It may be possible that the BG algorithm tries to distribute the pieces on the board as to minimize the possibility of a "bad roll", hence every roll looks like "the perfect roll". I have to admit that it does get many more double rolls than I do in an average game. Either way, I usually manage to beat it more times than not (even to the point where it gets in no pieces at all, in which case the game credits you with 3 wins.)
