My question is this: how many rolls, on average/mean, will occur in one "round" of craps?

Just to make sure my question is clear: if we initially roll a 2, 3, 7, 11, or 12, that round is over with just 1 roll.

If we hit a point of 9, then we roll a 4, a 12, and a 9, that round is over with 4 rolls. And so on.

Round on that page is until the shooter sevens out.
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but that is the way to bet.

I can't link the post (because I haven't posted enough on here to have permission to do so), but on wizard of odds dot com /games/craps/number-of-rolls/, even if it only counts the shooter hitting a 7, what is that happening only 1/9th of the time on roll 2?

Yes that’s right. But you could also roll 200 times (as high as the table on that page goes) before you seven out. The mean is calculated by adding up the number of times rolled by the probability it is the seven out roll.

Also remember that table counts the seven out a a roll. So 8.5 mean includes the roll that is the seven loser.

Calculate the probability of seven out on second roll.

Establish point on first roll with 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10: 24/36 chance.

Seven out on second roll: 6/36 chance.

Chance of both happening is 24/36 * 6/ 36 =0.111

Do you know of anywhere that provides the number of rolls if we also consider hitting the point to be the end of the round?

Maybe a cleaner way of asking is this: if I bet $1 on the Pass Line before a come-out roll, how many rolls on average will I have to wait for my bet to either win or lose?

Come-out rolls can win or lose for you without ending your turn to shoot the dice. Once the point is established, you can put down an odds bet on the point. You'll be wondering how often those odds bets pay off. On a typical table in the current time frame, a $10 table would have $10 Pass Line bets with odds bets up to $30, $40, $50 (a 3,4,5X odds table) but most shooters may just put up double odds or $20. How long you have to wait for a point to resolve? If you are trying to get out of the casino to catch a bus, expect at least 25 more rolls. It's good to get off of the table and not push closing time limits.

For DON'T PASS :-

a) If consider PUSH is a valid round, rolls/round = 3/36 + 1/36 + 8/36 + 15/36 + 15/36 + 18.4/36 + 18.4/36 + 235/396 + 235/396 = 557/165 = 3.3757576
b) If NOT consider PUSH is a valid round, rolls/round = 3/35 + 1/35 + 8/35 + 15/35 + 15/35 + 18.4/35 + 18.4/35 + 235/385 + 235/385 = 6684/1925 = 3.4722078

PUSH = First roll total is 12.

Yes I follow. That’s the average number of rolls to resolve a pass line bet: 3.376.

Man, CC you just need to read the question. Most everyone should know that the 7 mathematically appears 1 out 6 times in a perfect world or 16.7% of the time. Again, what are the ODDS of a 7 OUT happening after a point is established within 5 rolls of the dice and 11 rolls of the dice without converting the established point?

That DiceData guy does not have an answer for you, so I don't either.

But John Patrick was out long ago with his 5-count for something or another, was it on the DC? If a 7 comes up every 6 rolls on average and you put up a DC bet on every 5th roll you stand a chance to get a hurried decision on your bets. Is that how it goes?

Dice Data guy? Is there a link? Are you suggesting that our highly math savants can't give real answers to this seemingly very simple question?

As far as your question above concerning John Patrick, the DC, and the five count, the answer is a resounding NO.

OK, I'll give it another off-the-cuff shot. There's a 5/6 chance there will be a 7 within 5 rolls after the point gets established, and an 11/6 chance of a 7 within 11 rolls of the point being established.

Is that wrong? OK, I'll add 1 to it. There's a 1:1 chance of a 7 showing up within 5 rolls after the point gets established and a 1:2 (edit) chance of the 7 showing up within 11 rolls after the point gets established. These are refigured because the point established was not a 7.

OK, thanks for that, although, I am not sure a portion of your answers are correct.

So, you are posting that there is an 83% chance/odds that the 7 OUT will occur within 5 rolls of a point establishment. I can go with that, and of course, variances will skew those odds.

The 1:1 "chance of a 7 showing within 5 rolls after the point gets established" = 100% and that is not happening in a random game of craps. I am also not buying your "2:1 or 50% chance of the 7 showing up within 11 rolls after the point gets established" as that number should be closer 90+% if your 83% figure is correct.

So, let's see if there are others who will weigh in with numbers that either agree or refine your answers.

You do in fact need to win about 2 out of 3 times when you are resolving an established number [with 7-out, Darkside winner] as a Don't player. That's winning a lot for sure, you can go a long time losing 2 out of 3 instead. But the problem lies with the fact that you lose too often when 7 and 11 are rolled in the come-out .... you have to make up for that by 'killing it' with those 7-outs, you won't get enough help with rolling craps 2,3 [Darkside winner]

Conversely, you can come out ahead by resolving as a win an established number less than half the time Rightside. You have the come-out early resolution action working for you instead of against you , and you get paid better than even money.

So why do I now usually play Darkside? Fact is, you get the same results roughly in the long run, plus there are other reasons to do it. You do have to embrace the tension of winning the large proportion of numbers to be resolved.

See there, no 5th grade math!

Your explanation above is valid, and I do not question it. If one were to think "outside the box," there is a way to equalize the Don't payouts using third grade math. Additional risk may be present, but it is after all gambling.

Thanks, unjon for that. I realize that point conversion reduces the ODDS in my question, but that is the other variable I might tackle, and that is why I wanted to keep the "math" simple deleting the possible variables.

I meant there's a 200% chance of hitting a 7 in 12 rolls, and a 300% chance of hitting a 7 in 18 rolls and a 400% chance of hitting a 7 in 24 rolls and a 500% chance of hitting a 7 in 30 rolls. They're overdue! Of course, when a point gets hit and a come-out roll 7-winner comes along, start the count over again. I'll typically get stuck waiting 18+ rolls for a point to either hit or miss.

OK, I'll give it another off-the-cuff shot. There's a 5/6 chance there will be a 7 within 5 rolls after the point gets established, and an 11/6 chance of a 7 within 11 rolls of the point being established.

Is that wrong? OK, I'll add 1 to it. There's a 1:1 chance of a 7 showing up within 5 rolls after the point gets established and a 2:1 chance of the 7 showing up within 11 rolls after the point gets established. These are refigured because the point established was not a 7.

OK, thanks for that, although, I am not sure a portion of your answers are correct.

So, you are posting that there is an 83% chance/odds that the 7 OUT will occur within 5 rolls of a point establishment. I can go with that, and of course, variances will skew those odds.

The 1:1 "chance of a 7 showing within 5 rolls after the point gets established" = 100% and that is not happening in a random game of craps. I am also not buying your "2:1 or 50% chance of the 7 showing up within 11 rolls after the point gets established" as that number should be closer 90+% if your 83% figure is correct.

So, let's see if there are others who will weigh in with numbers that either agree or refine your answers.

The odds of that depend upon which point number was established.

Thanks, unjon for that. I realize that point conversion reduces the ODDS in my question, but that is the other variable I might tackle, and that is why I wanted to keep the "math" simple deleting the possible variables.

So, can you answer the basic questions above?

I don’t understand the question. What do you mean by ignoring the point conversion.

Do you know of anywhere that provides the number of rolls if we also consider hitting the point to be the end of the round?

Maybe a cleaner way of asking is this: if I bet $1 on the Pass Line before a come-out roll, how many rolls on average will I have to wait for my bet to either win or lose?
link to original post



Yes I follow. That’s the average number of rolls to resolve a pass line bet: 3.376.

I want to phrase the question a bit differently: What are the ODDS of a 7 out after a point is established with in 5 rolls of the dice, within 11 rolls of the dice? ( do NOT include the possible point conversion).

p.s. Do NOT include the MATH.

tuttigym

Questions:

1. By "Do not include the possible point conversion," are you asking for the probability of, for example, sevening out within 5 rolls once the point is established if the only other possible result is to have the point still in play after 5 rolls?

2. Do you want a single answer that is calculated over all possible points, or do you want separate answers for points of 4/10, 5/9, and 6/8?

I meant there's a 200% chance of hitting a 7 in 12 rolls, and a 300% chance of hitting a 7 in 18 rolls and a 400% chance of hitting a 7 in 24 rolls and a 500% chance of hitting a 7 in 30 rolls. They're overdue! Of course, when a point gets hit and a come-out roll 7-winner comes along, start the count over again. I'll typically get stuck waiting 18+ rolls for a point to either hit or miss.

I do not think that is how it works.

I agree. So, have I stumped the math elites, i.e. Wizard and or ThatDonGuy(sp) possibly others?

In that case, it depends on what the point was:

5 rolls, point 4/10: 1562 / 2291 (0.681798)

Question 1 is YES.

I was going to ask Question 2 later in the conversation, but if you could compute Question 2, that would also be wonderful.

I did not want the math because for some, including me, it can be confusing, and it has nothing to do with the ODDS outcome you are calculating.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

Just so I am clear, if the point is 4/10, there is a 68% chance that a 7 out will occur within the next 5 rolls before a point conversion? 5/9 = 71%; 6/8 = 74%? Not criticizing here but to my logical mind that seems upside down because the 6/8 would be converted easier than the 4/10.

The 11 roll percentages actually reflect what I am saying about the 5 roll answer. Am I missing something?

Still THANK YOU.

additions mine again

for 11 rolls, you can say there is a 7-out almost every time, on average, assuming it hasn't resolved otherwise

I can't verify the math but I thought you might be stumped by 0.967285 etc.

Once you decide that 'almost every time' is just the ticket, you'll get a fresh reminder that nothing stops it from resolving the other way. And, for a real stumper, once you decide that 11 rolls is for you, the 7-out just as easily could occur instantly as on the 11th roll

THANK YOU og for the additions. Please indulge me, does the (0.967285) actually convert to about 97% odds that the 7 out will occur before the point conversion similarly noting the other decimal examples? And yes, I am aware that a variance beyond 11 dice rolls can and does happen. So, thanks for that reminder.

No. There is a 68% chance that a 7 out will occur within the next five rolls if you make the assumption that you will not make the point. You specifically said to ignore the cases where the point was made.

If you want the probability of sevening out within 5 or 7 rolls without making the point first:

5 rolls, point 4/10: 781 / 1536 (0.508464)

5 rolls, point 5/9: 303,655 / 629,856 (0.482102)

11 rolls, point 5/9: 12,495,249,937,039 / 21,422,803,359,744 (0.583269)

11 rolls, point 6/8: 11,748,865,277,386,501 / 21,936,950,640,377,856 (0.535574)
