After reading an article recently I discovered the reason my dice rolling is always so poor is that I am left handed and have been using dice designed for right handed gamers. Does anyone know of a manufacturer of left handed dice? |

yes, but they are very expensive, and only avaialable to buy at one particular time of the year. |

Chris, I have a few of them.
Send me $500 USD via PayPal, and I will get them out to you toot sweet. The best thing about them is that they are almost indistinguishable from "normal" dice, so your opponents will never know they have been snookerred! |

You could always stick with right-handed dice – just throw them back to front. |

I have some of them, but I put them in the same drawer as my regular dice and now I can't tell which ones are which. |

OFM, for that kind of money you better have a certificate of authenticity or I'm calling you a crook! |

OFM, for that kind of money you better have a certificate of authenticity. It is certified with ISO95000 and QS9000, with certificates of calibration traceable to NIST and a mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnall's back porch. Mine are better than others because they only give the right results when you really need them. |

Just use blank dice and memorise where the spots were. |

Johm, he isn't asking for 'right' results. He wants the left overs. |

You'll find them available at the shop that also stocks left handed screwdrivers. |

Johm, he isn't asking for 'right' results. He wants the left overs. Yeah, right. That's his story, and he's sticking to it. |

I have some. Next to my left-handed wrench and polka-dot paint. |

They are very fragile, you have to store them in a jar of steam… |

But seriously folks … there really are such things as left and right handed pipped d6's .. but they have nothing to do with use by the left or right hand .. LEFT / RIGHT has come to mean the way that the pip orientation is laid out on the die … and does not in any way effect how the die is rolled |

Actually there is a left and right handedness to dice. If you look at a die with the 6 up, the side faces going clockwise are 2, 3, 5, 4. On a left-handed die, they would be 2, 4, 5, 3. Since gamers are rather superstitious, many gamers arrange their dice with the 6's up. A right hander will tend to spin the dice in a counter-clockwise rotation while a left hander will spin them in a clock-wise rotation. Thus when rolling dice, the left-handed gamer when rolling right-handed dice should arrange the dice with the 6 on top and the 5 to the left and practicing to roll the dice with a precise 3 to 3.25 rotations to achieve high numbers. -Binhan |

I bet rolling right handed dice behind your back would get you the same result as left handed dice. |
