Dice life expectancy

Does any one know how many rolls I should get out of a pair of dice? I have heard +/- 2000, depending on what you are throwing them in/on to.

We would say that never more than 2000 rolls but a shorter number of rolls is probably best.

If you are counting your rolls and keeping a cumulative record that will certainly work. We don’t keep a cumulative number of rolls with a single pair of dice. From time to time, we simply feel the corners of the dice and compare that to the corners of a brand new set of dice. This will give you a good idea.

We also keep a note pad at our craps table of the date when the dice are changed. In the recent past, on average, we change the dice every 2 to 2 1/2 weeks. We usually practice every day. This pretty much assures we keep sharp dice in our practice–just like the dice in a casino.

Hope that gives you a few ideas.

PS–we keep the old dice separated in a see through baggie, and use them when we throw into a cup (like those sold at the GTC classes) to practice our targeting.

Ty Doc, I usually practice 5 days a week, +/- 1 hr a day, I’m getting 100-150 rolls of a pair of dice per day, plus I keep my target shot Dice seperate from my practice table Dice. Obviously it’s time for a change out, hahaha. :mrgreen:
