The formula to figure out the percentage chance of rolling a 4 is 1 divided by 12 times 100.

Expressed as ProbabilityThe probability of rolling a 4 is 8.33%.

That is because out of every 12 rolls, there is one chance to get a 4 and 11 opportunities to get something else.

Expressed As OddsThe odds of rolling a 4 are 11 to 1.

You can express that chance in a couple of ways. So we have a 3 in 36, or 1 in 12, chance to roll a 4. To figure this out, we take all the possible combinations that equal 4 (1-3, 2-2, 3-1) and compare that to the 36 total possibilities between two dice. That way, you know exactly what you’re betting on and if you have a good chance of winning or not. It’s handy to understand how to calculate the odds in Craps. For example, there is only one way to get a 3-3, but there are five ways to make 6 between both dice. However, each number has a different chance of showing up. Therefore you have a 1 in 36 chance of rolling any specific combination.

Each die has six sides, so when you roll a pair of dice, there are 6×6 possibilities or 36 total combinations.

The odds in Craps describe the chance of hitting a certain number on the dice.
