I'll bet you can't roll a 12 with two die in 20 attempts. We can bet $1000 per 20 attempts.

I have taken 4 or 5 people at this one. Only for $20s and $50s per set though.

This is great and easy. I'm going to have to add this to the repertoire.

Ya. Lot's pf people initially assume that since it is 1/36 to roll a 12 that 18 rolls must be the break even point for them. But you can give up to 24 rolls for this one ad still have the edge. At 20 rolls it is like 58-42 edge for you or something like that so you might want to get some money locked up since you are certainly no lock over a couple of attempts. If you go at $1000 an attempt until someone is up $10000 you are a huge favorite.

I really like this idea of guaranteeing yourself a certain amount. If you play for X amount and no quitting until somebody is up/down 10X (same as above), then you guarantee yourself a ton more action on what is essentially a casino game (57/43).

Can somebody is who much better at stat (read: not hung over) find out how likely you are to win with a 57% edge and no quitting until somebody is up/down 10 bets? (assuming both players will quit at that point).
