As I have showed in here, a dice that produces near 1 bit of entropy is understandably insecure from the human eye. You can check out how frequent '1's I have got with 75% frequency, it makes a splash. And that's 1.29, with 1 bit it's even more clear that you shouldn't use that dice.

a  perfect dice doesnt show 1 bit. what i mean is :

a word in the bitcoin seed is something like this : 00011111101

By using a dice i assume people have to say: if dice comes 1 to 3 i will choose number 0 if dice come to 4 to 6 choose number 1

So this is always a 50% 50% making that dice like a coinflip. Am i thinking right?
