Humans may be predisposed to the fallacy of greed. But bots have there own fallacies. Happily winning by 0.5, when a higher win at almost the same perceived risk is available, is a kind of full knowledge fallacy. A bot can lose an easily won game by merrily giving away everything but the last half point, then have the last point stolen from him by a single bot misread. So if you feel that the bot you're playing against is misjudging a particular situation, don't spring in on him unless that will put you in the lead. Otherwise, it's better to let him hand over other points that you need first. The bot might fix his problem, but that risk is preferable to having the bot go into business again when it is still ahead.
