Here we have an example of someone who does not know how the game of craps is played.
If your point is six, on the next roll any combination showing six will be a winner. Those combinations are:
1,5
5,1
2,4
4,2
3,3
There are five winning combinations.
The six combinations that would make your bet on 6 lose are:
1,6
6,1
2,5
5,2
3,4
4,3
Any other number -- 2,3,4,5,8,9,10,11,12 -- would have no result on your bet on six.
As I suspected, a lack of knowledge of the game and just parroting what has been said before.
Mr Redietz, do these college professors play craps?
