Re: How Many Sevens Should You Expect in Six Throws of the Dice?

Actually rolling the dice does not confirm basicstrategy777's misreading of the
essay. Rolling the dice confirms the calculation ("actual probability numbers")
that current probability does not change based on any past results.

That is why the house books your bets at exactly the same odds without regard to
previous events. The house knows that this is true.
