Dice Arena is a simple dice game I noticed at Bovada. The goal is to roll a higher total than the dealer. Please click the link for all the rules and analysis.

As always, I welcome all feedback.

The question for the poll is would you play Dice Arena?

It looks like it could be a lot of fun. Who rolls the dice?
I must be missing something, but it seems that rolling two dice will result in a total of six or better more than half the time. With a single die, the dealer can only tie you. I'd think you could grind out a profit, so I'll assume my math is off. What am I missing?

What I think you are missing is, not all winning bets pay out at even money (or higher). Check the page on the Wizard's link in the first post to see what the payouts are for each player roll that wins.
