Roberto i have cautioned you before about your gambling, we had a gambling topic on here for the shortest space of time and it did not last, I don't think it should be encouraged this way. : )

ladbrokes wont give me odds on a dr spock you tube link :)

[Doc Spock]

just been looking at that, strangely enough odds are 5 to 1. for each scenario.

errm about half past four but I don't think I can make it to the party duckyboy.

[Joe_the_Lion]

If thrown together then the odds are all the same. However, if each dice is thrown separately the odds will alter considerably although the law of probability will be the same.

I.e if you throw two 6's, nobody will offer you 5 to 1 in throwing a six in 16 throws. Likewise if you throw 15 dice with no 6's the odds of throwing a treble 6 will be about 108 to 1.
