What it teaches

What the common craps and roulette bets really cost: dice chances (36 outcomes, a point before a 7), wheel chances (European 37 vs American 38 pockets), payouts and profit vs total back, expected value and the house edge, la partage, expected loss over a session, the pass line and the odds bet (zero edge, but only on top of a pass line bet), and why Place 6 beats Big 6 and Any 7 is the worst of the bets it covers. The AI asks 3 questions, places you, shows a short card per module, then gives you one problem at a time and checks your answer against keys computed by script.

No systems, no tips. It never says what to bet. It shows the edge on every bet it covers, and why no system beats it.

This is maths for adults where betting is legal. The house edge means most players lose over time, and this course will show you why.

Before it teaches, it asks

  1. 1
    What brings you here: a casino trip coming up, you already play, or curiosity? Craps, roulette, or both?
    AI voice (ElevenLabs)
  2. 2
    Two dice: how many of the 36 outcomes total 7, and what’s the chance (as a fraction)?
  3. 3
    American wheel, $1 on red (1 to 1): house edge?

What’s exact, and what isn’t

Show

Straight from the course’s own notes.

Computed by script
Every key, by enumerating the 36 dice outcomes and the 37 or 38 pockets with exact fractions; “point before a 7” cross-checked a second way, by summing repeated rolls; all 14 house edges the source tables print match the computed ones.
Sourced
Rules and payouts from Wikipedia’s Roulette and Craps articles (their bet tables), short quotes matched word for word on 2026-10-10. Helpline numbers in the responsible-gambling rule from the National Council on Problem Gambling and NHS pages, read 2026-10-10.
Payouts vary by casino
The course uses the common ones; a table’s posted rules win.
