Backgammon Dice are NEVER precision dice

EXACTLY-If there is any inherent bias, like in research, it is being given to the experimental and control groups-it is balanced. Let the TD's distribute the dice,so that there is no appearance of impropriety with someone bringing their own dice.
One time, years ago, I went to Zuccotti Park in NYC, to play some low stakes backgammon.You rent board/dice there.A player who I did not know asked me to play with his precision dice. I told him that I'd be crazy to play with his dice, when the house supplies its own precision dice. All of the kibbitzers told me that I had made a smart decision. Needless to say, I did NOT play this guy.On the other hand,if you know the player , and their character,it's another matter.
