Stake Dice: Complete Beginner's Guide 2026
Dice is the most transparent game at Stake. You set your exact win probability and payout — which makes it the ideal game for testing strategies and understanding bankroll math.
How Dice Works at Stake
Stake's Dice rolls a number between 0 and 100. You predict whether the result will be over or under a threshold you set. Three values are linked — adjust any one and the others update automatically:
The probability your bet wins. Higher chance = lower payout. Lower chance = higher payout.
How much you win if correct. Calculated from your win chance and the house edge.
The threshold value. Roll Over X means the dice must land above X. Roll Under means below.
Win Chance vs Payout: The Fundamental Trade-Off
The relationship between win chance and multiplier is mathematically fixed. Dice is a zero-secret game — the house edge is transparent:
| Win Chance | Multiplier (approx) | Style |
|---|---|---|
| 50% | ~1.98× | Coin-flip, moderate variance |
| 25% | ~3.96× | Higher variance, 1-in-4 wins |
| 10% | ~9.9× | High variance, good for small stakes |
| 2% | ~49.5× | Very high variance, rare wins |
| 75% | ~1.32× | Low variance, frequent small wins |
Note: The multiplier is always slightly less than the mathematical fair value due to the house edge. This is transparent and consistent.
Roll Over vs Roll Under
The toggle between "Roll Over" and "Roll Under" simply flips which side of the threshold you're betting on. Both modes produce equivalent mathematical outcomes for the same win chance — it's a cosmetic preference.
For example, "Roll Over 50" and "Roll Under 50" both represent a ~50% win chance (slight rounding differences may exist due to the 0–100 integer range).
Using Dice for Auto-Bet Strategies
Dice is the most popular game for running automated betting strategies because the parameters are fully customizable. Stake's Auto-Bet panel lets you:
- →Set a fixed bet amount for each roll.
- →Increase or decrease bet on win or loss (e.g. reset after win, multiply on loss).
- →Set stop conditions — stop after X rolls, stop if profit exceeds Y, stop if loss exceeds Z.
- →Change roll parameters (win chance) on win or loss.
⚠ Important Note on Martingale
Doubling your bet on every loss (Martingale) is mathematically dangerous. A losing streak of 10+ rolls is statistically normal. At 2× bet-on-loss, 10 losses in a row means your 11th bet is 1,024× your original stake. Ensure your bankroll can handle this before using multiplier-on-loss strategies.
Beginner Recommendations
- ✓Start with 49.5% win chance to get a feel for the pace — wins and losses come frequently.
- ✓Keep each bet under 1% of your session bankroll.
- ✓Set a hard stop-loss before you start — decide in advance when you'll stop.
- ✓Don't use multiplier-on-loss until you understand how quickly bets scale.
- ✓Use Dice to understand probability. 50% does not mean win-loss-win-loss — streaks of 10+ identical results are common.
