The 7 is the predominant number with six ways to achieve the number, followed by the 6 and 8 with five ways, the 5 and 9 with four ways, the 4 and 10 with three ways, the 3 and 11 with two ways. and the 2 and 12 with just one way to make the number.. Every number has a number that is equal in probability, and in fact is shown on the bottom of the dice when the sister number is on top.

The top and bottom of the dice always add up to 7.


Probabilities can be shown as a fraction, decimal, or percentage for all 36 possible rolls.
