Let's make this absolutely clear: you are claiming that the standard deviation of any set of independent dice rolls approaches 0 as the size of the set approaches infinity?

thats correct. its called the Law of Large Numbers. The variance of X_bar which is equal to sigma^2/n approaches zero as n increases.
