Dice bag

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

Players can roll a dice 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 die 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 one dice game is the high roll game, in this game the host player will have a dice bag and a 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. One of the most common games 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's 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. Another game played is called Dice Dueling. This involves one player giving a host their bet, or "wager", then the host calls out "{amount} wager @ Host Name". Someone would then trade the host and give them the same amount, thus calling the bet or wager. Then both players roll the dice, and the higher player wins and trades the host to get the "pot", which is both people's money. It is very common for dice hosts to scam their gamblers, even if the hosts appear rich, high level or legitimate. Gamble at your own risk!

Sniping
Sniping is a tactic gamblers sometimes use because of the mistaken belief that it allows for guarunteed profits. 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 they 'lose' a game, they will gain back all their losses plus the original bet if they 'win'. While this will often allow a player to gain a moderate amount of profit, it simultaneously results in a small chance to lose a much larger sum of money, which, mathematically, exactly balances the greater chance of a smaller reward. A player who is sniping must be careful to avoid being banned from the clanchat as well as beware of scammers since they may end up betting 10 times or more of their original bet.

This strategy is known in the real world as the "Martingale Betting System" or "Martingale Strategy", and became popular in 18th century France. In mathematical terms this strategy is only plausible with a limitless supply of money, in fact, bankrupt the player before they begin to win.

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. This glitch has been fixed.
 * When a player rolls with 2 six sided dice, a roll of 1 is possible.
