Trying to determine the odds of making X number of box numbers before crapping out.
If you bet across each roll you'll have a 69.4% fo winning (4,5,6,8,9,10) . 13.9% chance of push (2,3,11,12). 16.7% chance of loss (7).

If I made my strategy to hit 5 box numbers, then take my bet down, what would the odds of that be?

I know its not .6944^5 as you do not need to hit it 5 times in a row. So there must be a more complicated equation

Didn’t check your probabilities but if they are right then it’s:

(0.694/(1-0.139))^5

You just need to gross up the probability of hitting to ignore tie outcomes.
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but that is the way to bet.

Thanks! Prob of 34% or sounds much closer to what I've seen than the .6% or so ChatGPT gave me.

Is trying to use ChatGPT to figure out gambling problems really becoming that widespread? I wonder how much the casinos paid for that. JK

10 shooters may roll 4 times or less and 10 shooters may roll 12 times or more and they average over 8 rolls per shooter. The best way to beat this game is to stick around for the longer rolls, or bet against the shorter rolls.

I always thought it was called crapping out…TIL it’s just when you lose your pass line on a 2,3,12.

Hopefully that tidbit alone was worth the price of admission!

May I ask... is your name a reference to the Kodan Armada?

(... and Welcome to the forum.)
May the cards fall in your favor.

It is not, first time I have been asked if it’s from anything but Destiny. Been using it as a handle since like 2003, used to be an old channel name my Russian friend and I met in from Warcraft III.

Please define “crapping out”.

Politely
It’s all about making that GTA

Rolling a 2,3,12 on the come out roll, you lose your pass line bet. In my original post I incorrectly used it for meaning rolling a 7.
