Online Craps Probability

Are you the type of player that believes if a seven hasn’t been rolled in craps for a while that it is overdue to be rolled the next time? Is there any reason to believe that the 7 will come up next? Let’s look at online craps probability.

Many people believe that because something has or hasn’t happened that something is due to happen. The reality with dice is that they have no memory. The odds are exactly the same on every roll of the dice. Past outcomes do not predict future outcomes. The odds of rolling a 2 are 1 in 36 and even if you haven’t rolled a 2 in 100 rolls, the probability of rolling a 2 the next time does not change.

The most common roll of the dice is 7 because the odds are 1 in 6 that you will roll a 7 or 16.67%. The odds of rolling a 2 are 1 in 36 which is 2.78%. The odds are not affected no matter what has happened on a previous roll. Here are the exact odds of rolling each of the other 10 numbers.

The odds of rolling a 3 are 1 in 18 or 5.56%. That is the same percentage for rolling an 11. The odds of rolling a 4 are 1 in 12 which is 8.33%. That is the same percentage for rolling a 10. The odds of rolling a 5 are 1 in 9 which is 11.11%. That is the same for rolling a 9. The odds of rolling a 6 are 1 in 7.2 or 13.89%. The odds of rolling an 8 are the same.
