The odds of rolling a 7 with two dice is 6 in 36, or 1 in 6.
Two six-sided dice will yield 36 different possible combinations in one roll. Note that rolling 1 and 6 is not the same as rolling 6 and 1. Yes, they both equal 7, but for the purposes of determining probability, each throw is unique. There are 6 possible ways to throw a 7, and they are 1-6, 2-5, 3-4, 4-3, 5-2, and 6-1. With 36 different possible outcomes, that means that 6 in 36 of those outcomes results in a 7. The odds of getting a 7 are 6 in 36, or 1 in 6 (reducing the two terms).
We sometimes see the terms "odds" and "probability" interchanged, but it is important to distinguish them mathematically. If you are interested in the probability of rolling a 7 in a single roll of a pair of dice, use the link to the Related question.

What is the probability of rolling a 7 twice in two rolls of a pair of dice?
The probability of rolling 7 once with two dice is 1 in 6, o 0.1667. The probability, then, of doing that twice in a row is 1 in 36, or 0.02778.
Suppose you roll two dice what is the probability of rolling a sum of 7?
There are 21 different combinations of two dice. Three of them total 7 (3 + 4, 2 + 5, 1 + 6), so if you have two 'fair' dice, you have a 1 in 3 chance of totalling 7.
What is the probability of rolling a sum of 7 with 2 dice?
Te probability of rolling a sum of 7 with two fair dice is 6 in 36, or 1 in 6, or about 0.1667.Of all the possible combinations of two dice, the sum of 7 has the highest probability, with the other combinations decreasing down to 2 and 12, with probabilities of 1 in 36, or about 0.0278.
What is the probability of rolling an even number with 3 dice?
With one roll of three dice, the probability is 7/8.
What is the probability of rolling a 7 with two dice?
The probability or rolling a 7 with one roll of a pair (2) dice is 0.166666.... We get this number by dividing 6 by 36 (or 1 by 6). Let's review what a probability is and then find out how we get the 6 and the 36.We know that probabilities range from zero (0) to one (1), inclusive. A probability of 0 means that a given result cannot happen. Like rolling a 13 with one toss of a pair of dice. The largest number that can appear is 12, so rolling a 13 cannot be done. The probability of that happening is 0.A probability of 1 means it must happen. Like rolling a number between 2 and 12, inclusive, with one roll of the dice. Rolling a 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12, is something that must happen, so the probability of that is 1. All probabilities that something will happen will fall on or between 0 and 1. All of them. Some folks often interchange the term probability with "the odds" of something happening, and this might be the cause of some confusion. Now that we've reviewed probability, let's look at odds and see where the numbers come from.There are 6 ways to make a 7 with two dice. They are 1-6, 2-5, 3-4, 4-3, 5-2, and 6-1. And there are 36 (6 x 6) possible outcomes with a single roll of two dice. The odds of a 7 coming up are 6 in 36, or 1 in 6. As this is true, the probability of the 7 appearing will be the number of times the combination is possible (6) divided by the total possible combinations (36), which leads us to 6 divided by 36 or 1 divided by 6, or 0.166666....Use the link to the Related question to see about the odds of rolling that 7 with two dice.
What are the odds in favor of rolling a 7 or an 11 or doubles twice in a row with a pair of standard dice?

What are the odds of rolling a 2345and 6 before a 7?
well u can not roll a 7 on a dice
What are the odds of rolling a seven with two dice fifty six times in succession?
The chance of throwing 7 with 2 dice is 1 in 6. The chance of throwing 7 with 2 dice 56 times in a row is 1 in 656 ≈ 1 in 3.771 x 1043.
What is the probability of rolling a 7 or 11 with two dice?
The probability of rolling a 7 with 2 dice is 6/36; probability of rolling an 11 is 2/36. Add the two together to find probability of rolling a 7 or 11 which is 8/36 or 2/9.
What is the probability of rolling a 7 twice in two rolls of a pair of dice?
The probability of rolling 7 once with two dice is 1 in 6, o 0.1667. The probability, then, of doing that twice in a row is 1 in 36, or 0.02778.
Odds of rolling a 7 twice in a row on craps?
Odds of rolling seven once (2 dice) is 1:6, twice in a row, odds are 1:36. The reason is- the first die can be any number, but the second die must be a particular number. For example, if the first die is 6, then the second die has to be 1 to make 7. When an event occurs twice, and the two events are unrelated, then you can multiply the odds together= 1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36.
Suppose you roll two dice what is the probability of rolling a sum of 7?
There are 21 different combinations of two dice. Three of them total 7 (3 + 4, 2 + 5, 1 + 6), so if you have two 'fair' dice, you have a 1 in 3 chance of totalling 7.
What is the probability of rolling a sum of 7 with 2 dice?
Te probability of rolling a sum of 7 with two fair dice is 6 in 36, or 1 in 6, or about 0.1667.Of all the possible combinations of two dice, the sum of 7 has the highest probability, with the other combinations decreasing down to 2 and 12, with probabilities of 1 in 36, or about 0.0278.
What is the probability of rolling an even number with 3 dice?
With one roll of three dice, the probability is 7/8.
What are the odds of not rolling a 7 with a pair of 6 sided dice in 23 rolls?
About 1.5% The odds of rolling a 7 on any particular throw is 1/6. (There are six ways you can roll a seven: (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1), out of 36 possible outcomes.) Therefore, the odds that you don't roll a 7 on a particular roll is 5/6. The odds that you don't roll a 7 in 23 rolls is: (5/6)^23, or approximately .015=1.5%
What is the probability of rolling a 7 with one dice?
It is 0.
What is the probability of rolling 6 or less?
If rolling 1 die it is 1; if rolling 7 dice it is 0.
