Currently, a lot of players earn tops in the Zenith Daylong tournament when they open (or overcall) 4NT nonvulnerable with a weak hand, and go down 6-8 tricks for a top board compared to the opponent's game. This is relatively safe if partner is a passed hand (which when combined with your weak hand indicates that the opponents probably have game).

Will this ever be patched? (ie a robot doubles 4NT with a reasonably strong hand). Below is an example. In this case, LHO should clearly double.

The last time GIB was updated was over 4 years ago. I'll leave the rest to you..

Based on past performance, I 100% guarantee that BBO will fix or replace GIB in the next 10 years, or not.

Bridge with three robots has the same name as the game played with four people but it isn't.
People also get great scores in best hand games bidding 1NT with flat 12 counts.
Characterising it as a 'psych' makes no sense.
Sharing useful tips here OTOH is helpful.

I used to care about people getting unfair tops then occasionally I was a recipient of one
Then I thought again this isn't real bridge - you don't want to learn bad habits
You can get tops with GiB in all manner of ways that may not work with humans

It worked against humans in a silver lining week tournament: https://tinyurl.com/2hhmfokv
