How is Probability used in the gambling industry?
It depends on what you mean, but here is a basic description of how it works. Payouts in gambling games are based on the probability of winning, but the payout is less than the true probability of winning. Just as a basic example, the odds of rolling a 12 in the game Craps is 1 in 36, but if bet on the 12 and win, you only win 30 times the amount bet. So basically, you would have to make a $1 bet 36 times to win $30.

What are the probabilities of winning when playing craps online?
"The probabilities are exactly the same as playing offline, at least in theory. So then it depends upon the table, how many numbers there are, and how you bet. A Typical table gives you a 1 in 31 chance of winning on a single number with the highest payout rate. However, when betting on split the probability is closer to 50% with 0 and 00 being losers."
What is the probability of winning at craps?
The odds are set so that the longer you play, the more probable it is you will lose. Its like betting on a jar with a thousand marbles in it. 600 of the marbles are black and 400 are white. You bet $1 each time a marble is picked and your bet is that a white marble will be picked. If a white marble is picked, you get your $1 back plus an additional $1. As the marbles are being picked, you may be winning at times but ultimately you will lose $200 because there are 200 more black marbles than white marbles. This may seem very simplistic but it is exactly what happens when you play craps.
What is the probability of having 1 or 2 or 3 peanuts in one shell?
The probability of having 1 peanut in a shell is 1/2, as there are two possible outcomes (either there is 1 peanut or there is not). The probability of having 2 peanuts in a shell is 1/4, as there are four possible outcomes (0, 1, 2, or 3 peanuts). The probability of having 3 peanuts in a shell is 1/8, as there are eight possible outcomes (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 peanuts).
