There are a couple of additional factors to consider when trying for double six
es.  It may be true that if the dice are thrown high, they will be weighted by
the heavier sides, but they also bounce more the higher that they are thrown.
Therefore the type of surface on which they will land should be taken into acco
unt.  There may be an optimal height since the additional bounce may offset the
 advantage gained by giving more time for the heavier side to turn down.  Also
the throw should be straight to reduce spinning of the dice as much as possible
.  An obvious point is that dice with larger holes give a greater six bias.  Ge
nerally these biases are very tiny.
