Its 1/6 to roll a 7 with two 6-sided dice. You can get weighted dice that make it more likely to land on a certain number.

Does having one weighted dice change the odds at all? My gut says no but reality is a tricky bitch and I’m convinced im wrong somehow.

    That’s if it’s perfectly weighted. If it’s weighted to roll a 6, it might not always land on 6. This would lower the chance of rolling a 7 depending on what the overall probability profile is on the weighted die.

    E: consider a die weighted to favor 6. Standard dice have opposite faces add up to 7. If this die favors 6 to the extent it never rolls a 1, any time a 6 is rolled on the second die can never result in a total roll of 7.

    E2: I has the dumb. Apologies.
