If the odds are 179 to 2, the probability of winning is 0.01105, or; the chance of winning is 1.11%

A fair chance of winning is more than 50% chance of winning. Therefore probability = 0.5 We need to find a fair chance of winning atleast one match. 1-(5/6)^n > 0.5 hence, n=4 QED (quite easily done, :-p)
on a 6-sided die theres a 1/6 chance
