  1. Yep, its seven like the others have said.  This is why craps is set up like it is.  You are betting that you will get some non-seven number and then roll that number again before a seven comes up.  Since 7 comes up more than any other number, you can see how the casinos can afford all those fancy buildings!


  2. The most probable outcome is 7.  There is a 1 in 6 chance that you role a 7...more than any other sum.  There are 6 possible roles that give you a sum of 7 (6/1, 5/2, 4/3, 3/4, 2/5, and 1/6).  So, out of 36 possible roles, 6 of them give you a sum of 7...hence, 1 in 6.  

    FYI, here are the odds of rolling other sums...

    2 = 1/36th

    3 = 2/36th or 1/18th

    4 = 3/36th or 1/12th

    5 = 4/36th or 1/9th

    6 = 5/36th

    7 = 6/36th or 1/6th

    8 = 5/36th

    9 = 4/36th or 1/9th

    10 = 3/36th or 1/12th

    11 = 2/36th or 1/18th

    12 = 1/36th

  3. 7

    There's a 1 in 6 chance of totalling 7.

  4. Normally it's seven thats 7 mathematically with highest probability but the gamer takes 7 as a house clearance so u should normally take 6 or 8 with next highest probability, try if u can get 7

    chance of sum in order

    7   =1 out of 6

    6,8

    5,9

    4,10

    3,11

    2,12

    though the 2, and 12 pair have least chance they draw large amount of money.

    rest gamble is luck and depends or dice and person rolling it

    Vikas

    Good Luck
