A die is a cube. Each side has dots representing
the numbers one through six. A pair of rolled dice can produce
any of 36 combinations. The top side of the dice can add up
to a minimum of 2 or a high of 12. There are 6 ways to shoot
7, compared to the number 5 which can be rolled 4 different
ways, so if your point is 5, your odds of sevening-out are
6-4 or 3-2. The odds that someone will roll a craps on a come-out
are 4-32, or 1-8. The house obviously pays less than those
odds.
