Chance Of Winning Craps

If you have noticed 3 non-field bets pass in a row and then you decide to bet on the field, your chances of winning will go up. Under these circumstances, your chances of losing are reduced to 9.5%. Part of a winning strategy for online craps is knowing what bets to avoid because they offer low odds. Look for the proposition area of the craps. Pass line win probability = 244/495 (244/495)^3 = 0.119771609 exactly 3. Mustangsally: Maybe I'm missing something, but I get different results from what you show. Suppose (for simplicity) that it was a coin flip with p=0.5 instead of 244/495. To get at least one win in a row would be P=0.5. To get at least two in a row is P=0.5^2, etc.

What is the probability of winning 3 or more pass line bets in a row before losing your pass line bet from either a 2,3, or 12 on the come out roll or with a 7 after the point has been established?
The 3 pass line wins can be any combination of:
Come out win, Come out win, Come out win
Come out win, Come out win, Point win
Come out win, Point win, Come out win
Come out win, Point win, Point win
Point win, Come out win, Come out win
Point win, Come out win, Point win
Point win, Point win, Come out win
Point win, Point win, Point win

oops did math for exactly 3.
i believe its about:
1-((.507)^3+3((.493)(.507^2))+3((.493^2)(.507)))
mustangsally
pass line win probability = 244/495
(244/495)^3 = 0.119771609 exactly 3
you want 3 or more
formula for the sum of a geometric series is a/1-r
Crapswhere a is the first term
r = the ratio
a = (244/495)^3
r = 244/495
so (244/495)^3 / (1-(244/495) = 0.236202973
But now you want this to end. Multiply the above result by 1-(244/495)
0.119771609
((244/495)^3 / (1-(244/495)) * (1-(244/495))

Mustangsally: Maybe I'm missing something, but I get different results from what you show. Suppose (for simplicity) that it was a coin flip with p=0.5 instead of 244/495. To get at least one win in a row would be P=0.5. To get at least two in a row is P=0.5^2, etc. To get the answer for exactly n in a row, you need to multiply the 'at least' by the probability of losing on the n+1 try.
For the pass line problem, I think the 0.119771609 figure is for 3 or more, not for exactly 3.
Isn't that correct, or what did I miss?

rudeboyoi and Sally both arrived at the same value.
Sally did it differently by starting with 3 pass line wins in a row in 3 trials.
The OP asked a unique question.
Most ask the probability of winning 3 pass line bets in a row. And for 3 trials it is simply p^3
OP wanted to add the probability of 3 *or more* and *followed by a loss*.
Sally's math shows 3 in a row in 3 trials and the OPs Q arrives at the same value. It should.
IF the OP had asked what is the probability of winning 3 pass line bets in a row then losing, we would have p^3 * q or 0.06073
Let us see if OP is happy and replies.

You guys are great. Thanks for the detailed responses.
How did you calculate the average number of trials to see a run of 3, 4, 5, 6 or more pass line wins?
How do you define a trial? Would each shooter be a new trial? Or does a new trial begin after any losing pass line bet, in which case a single shooter could have multiple trials that end and start over with a losing pass line bet from throwing 2, 3, or 12 on a come out roll?
