I've never seen this before! Maybe it's something to do with dicing? Maybe another user or forum guide knows better than I do!

Its dicing 60x2 means roll 60+ win double your bet

It's gambling in short.
After the new emote "dice" has been introduced some people used it in creative ways, including dicing.
What happens is some people, called dicers, will shout that they are hosting dice. The subject is suppose to give a certain amount of gold to the dicer, which then the dicer will use the dice emote once, if the number is higher than a certain amount, the subject can get a certain times amount of gold back.
60x2 means if the host gets above 60 out of 100 in a roll you get double the amount of gold you give the host.
For example
You give the host 10k
The host rolls 62 out of 100
You get 20k back, earning 10k
or
The host rolls 59 out of 100
You lose your 10k
60x2 is usually the standard but there are others like 80x3, even 90x5 or 90x10
The psychology behind this is similar to many other gambling games, you lose, fall in the sunk cost fallacy (must win to get my losses back), and either win it back or lose more.

Well my world does it to where the person who bets gets to roll. Not host.
