What is the percentage of Don't Pass wins versus Pass Line wins in 1 million decisions?

Thanks,

The probability of a win on the Pass Line is 49.29% while the probability of a Don't Pass win is always 47.93%. The Don't Pass has a slightly lower house edge because twelve on the come out is a push and has a 2.78% chance of happening. You would simply express that as a decimal and multiply by 1,000,000:

Pass: .4929 * 1,000,000 = 492,900

Don't Pass: .4793 * 1,000,000 = 479,300 (Wins)

Don't Pass: .0278 * 1,000,000 = 27,800 (Pushes)

It's a little misleading.

49.293% of Pass line bets win.

Only 47.929% Don't Pass bets win, but another 2.778% of them push. Even with the "push on 12" (or "push on 2" in Reno/Tahoe) rule, the Don't Pass bet is slightly better.

ThatDonGuy:

I was sort of thinking that since most people bet the Pass line and when the 12 (or 2) comes up, the Pass line bettors lose 2.778% of the time and the Don't Pass player "doesn't" lose and survives to fight another battle so to speak.

Is this only for the Come Out roll or is this for the bet resolving (whether on the Come Out or after the point has been established)?

That's resolution based, far fewer bets will be resolved on the Come Out.

Pass Come Out Win Probability: (8/36) = .2222222

Pass Come Out Loss Probability: (4/36) = .11111111

Don't Win Probability Come Out: (3/36) = .08333333

Don't Lose Probability Come Out (8/36) = .22222222

Don't Push Probability Come Out: (1/36) = .027777777

Overall probability of Come Out resolution: (12/36) = 1/3 or .333333333

What is the house edge with payout odds of 16.28X for 3 /11; 4.94X for any 7; and 34.64X for 2/12?

TY for the answers.

Are these five separate one-roll bets? If so, the house edge for 2 is 1%, 3 is 4%, 7 is 1%, 11 is 4%, and 12 is 1%.
