Can you explain the odds of winning on the pass line bet?

On the come-out roll, you've got nearly a 49% chance to win a pass line bet. You'll win right away on 7/11, which happens about 48% of the time. And when a point's set, you've got a little under 45% chance to win by making that point again.

The house edge comes from how it's slightly more likely you'll lose - on 2/3/12 (7%) or by rolling 7 before your point (56% chance). So overall you win about 49% but lose 51% of the time.

Still, the 1-2% house edge ain't bad! And when you win, you get even money - so this is a fair enough bet with a decent shot to win that also keeps some action coming your way. And hey, that 7/11 win can be sweet! So slap some money on the pass line and enjoy the ride.
