What is the probability of rolling 2 dice and rolling every combination of dice before a 7 comes up? Not looking for the 36 combinations, looking for the probability without duplicates. (Example: Counting 1,2 and 2,1 as only one combination) I believe looking at it this way there are 21 combinations.

1,1. 1,2. 1,3. 1,4. 1,5. 1,6
2,2. 2,3. 2,4. 2,5. 2,6
3,3 3,4. 3,5. 3,6
4,4. 4,5. 4,6
5,5. 5,6
6,6

So the probability of rolling all these combinations before a 7 comes up? Thanks!

So craps side bet all small/tall/all?

Playing it correctly means you've already won.

so all 21 combos B4 any 7

instead of the 10 sums that the All Bonus Craps bet is. that is 1 in 190

so I say very close to 0 (how close do you want?)
without calculating it.
too many states for a simple transition matrix solution and too small values for inclusion-exclusion

there might be one that could do this while having fun with it

1,6
2,5
3,4
are the combos for a 7
you do not want that right?
so 18 combos in all?

this was easier than I thought.

it is what you said at 1st.
the subset of combos can roll in any order (the order does not matter)
in the code I used

you can also use the code for smaller subsets of combos too

wondering why the question?

Thanks Mustangsally. My dealer friend and I had a side bet. So to confirm it is roughly a 1-7,500 chance of rolling all 18 combinations before a seven comes up? It’s amazing you are able to calculate this, I should have paid more attention in school!😄

Hope you won your side bet!
yes, closer to 1 in 7431

most everything can be calculated.
credit is to BruceZ who did the original code.
I changed it to suit my interests.

The math behind it is more involved as it uses a concept in set counting named inclusion- exclusion.
the code looks to see the probability of NOT getting all the combos and we subtract that from 1 to get the answer.

a dice example. the chance to NOT get at least one 1 on 2 dice =
5 ways * 5 ways = 25 ways out of 6*6 = 36 total ways = 25/36.

so 1 - 25/36 = 11/36 = the probability of getting at least one 1 when rolling 2d6

or 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 or 12/36
so we overcounted when the dice rolls 1,1
that should only count as one 1.
so 12/36 - 1/36 = 11/36
(one can see this in a list of all the possible sums)
Permutations with repetition (n=6, r=2)
Using Items: 1,2,3,4,5,6

List has 36 entries.
1,1
1,2
1,3

One more math question for you:
Do you know the odds of not rolling a 7, for 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 rolls?

Looking for 1 in 6, 1 in 50 etc.

For a good approximation, take an average. There are 30 ways to throw the 18 values, so the average is 1.67 ways to throw each value.

Each of the 18 values makes up 1.67 in 36, or 1 in 22 rounded, of all possibilities leaving 4 in 22 of hitting a seven.

Therefore the chance of hitting all 18 before a seven is 18/22 * 17 /21 * 16/20 ....* 1/5

Which simplifies to (4 * 3 * 2) / (22 * 21 * 20 * 19) = 1 in 7,315.

Sorry for the late thank you. Do you know the odds of hitting 10, 12, 14, and 16 of the combos of 18, leaving out the 7's?
