Dice bag

A Dice bag contains dice. It can be purchased from Faruq in Al-Kharid for 10 coins.

Players can roll a die in a friends chat or privately. There is an animation when a dice is rolled. Dice vary in colour depending on the number of sides they have.

Dice can be used as a method for deciding what to do next with the result being linked to either an odd or an even number. It is common to utilise a standard 6-sided Dice for this effect.

In Faruq's Toolonomicon it says, 'The dice bag contains many kinds of dice. Use the bag to choose a die and then roll for yourself or for your friends. You must put the dice away before you can place the bag in your bank.'

Players can choose the following from the bag:

Dice games
The dice bag is commonly used to form dice games. The most common dice game is the high roll game, in this game the host player will have a dice bag and sum of money (usually a couple million gp). Gamblers will join the friend chat the host is in, trade their bet over to the host, then wait for the result. The host will accept the bet, call out the bet (Ex. "Goodluck, 100k bet, PlayerName), then determine whether the player won or lost. Winning or losing depends on the rules of the particular dice game. The most common game is the 55x2 game. The host uses the 1-100 option for the dice, if the roll is over 55 the gambler wins, if it is below they lose. Depending on the game a 55 can be a win, loss, or tie. Many different versions of this game exist with different odds. If a gambler wins they receive their bet x2 in return. It is quite common for dice hosts to scam their gamblers. Gamble at your own risk.

Sniping
Sniping is a tactic gamblers may use to profit very quickly off of dice games. Most hosts will react to this tactic as cheating. The process is fairly simple, the gambler begins by betting a small amount of their investment money, such as 1/25th of their money. If they win then they place the repeat. If they lose they place another bet twice that of the original bet. By doubling their bet each time when the gambler does win they will gain back all their losses plus the original bet. A player who is sniping must be careful to avoid being banned from the games as well as beware of scammers since they may end up betting 10 times or more of their orignal bet.

As a further note, if this strategy is used in a 55x2 game, then the person betting will be more likely to lose the more losses they have. It is very common to double up rapidly and lose one's entire cash stack using this strategy as your odds increase against your favor the more you play. If this strategy is used in a game where the odds are even then it has no effect in the long run than any other betting strategy.

This strategy is known in the real world as "Martingale Strategy", and dates back hundreds of years. For mathematical reasons the strategy is completely unsound unless the bettor has infinite wealth, time, and number of possible bets.

Trivia

 * You can not use the Dice bag at the Duel Arena, Banks, Grand Exchange and many other areas.
 * When a player performs a Friends-Roll, the result appears for everyone in the friend chat on the same world, but the message doesn't come through the Friends chat tab, but rather the Clan chat tab. This is likely a glitch caused by the Clan Camp updates.
