You should use -q1, where matches are played in pairs, and in each
game the same dice are fed (reversed) to the two players.
That way, if the two players make the same choices, you eliminate luck
completely :). If not, you reduce its effect.

But now you have 1/2 the trials, with 3 outcomes per trial, -,0,+ (X
winds both, they split, O wins both), so the stats will be different.

But I would repeat with a -q1. 50.69% is huge. I don't expect it to go away.
