You can do better if you have foreknowledge or retroactive foreknowledge of the outcome of the die roll, which is the obvious suggestion of jtolmar's comment. If I know the recorded outcomes of a sequence of die rolls, I can have models that predict those outcomes to any accuracy I want. But they're not doing it by measuring the uncertainty involved in prospectively rolling the die.
