What are the chances that someone wins a "PASS LINE" bet 5 times in a row(either by rolling a 7 or 11 on 1st roll or establishing a point, then rolling that specific number before a 7)? What about 6 or 7 times in row?

The probability of winning a pass bet is p=976/1980. p^5 = 2.91%; p^6 = 1.43%; p^7 = 0.71%.

Great! Thanks! Ive got another question. If a person is playing at a craps table by themselves, What is the chance of them losing a pass line bet 5times in row(either by rolling 2,3,12 on 1st roll or by establishing a point, then rolling a 7 before that specific number? what about 6 or 7 times? Would it be 1004/1980 p^5 = 3.35%
