as long as you are truthful on exactly what happened

you did this the
1st roll (come out roll) is from this set {4,5,6,8,9,10}
next roll = 7
=24/36 * 1/6 = 2/3 * 1/6 = 2/18 = 1/9 or abouts 11.11%

so
PS*
PS*
PS*
PS*
PS*
PS = (1/9)^6 = 1 in 531,441
you are so lucky!
well, not really
the same chance that the very next 6 shooters do the same PSO dance
==========================================
ands
this is the chance it happens over the very next 6 shooters

in other words
say 10 shooters per hour and you are at a table fur 4 hours, so 40 shooters
the chance is now way easier to see such a fruitless shooter display (for the Do side)
1 in 17,022

so the more shooters (more hands)
the higher the 1 time probability gets

example
in 1 years time you watch say 2000 shooters
the chance is now way easier to see at least 1 streak of 6 in a row PSO
1 in 300
===========================================

FYI,
the 2nd roll (counts the come out roll) has the 2nd highest single roll probability to 7 out on
the 1st = 3rd roll
but they are close

are you 100% certain you rolled no others numbers than a Point followed by a 7?
we could be more accurate if you stated exactly the points you established, in order that is

This is great news for Lay bets that always win on any 7

thank you for sharing
wish i was at your table (will be on one come Thursday)
