The Total Is the Result
Two dice give one total, but the three areas cover different outcomes. Read their ranges and payouts before looking for patterns in old rolls.
A Round from Selection to Settlement
- Choose a Total Range: The usual board divides the possible sums into three areas:
Down Covers the Lower Totals: Choose Down for a sum of 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. Count both dice.
Up Covers the Higher Totals: Up covers 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12. A sum of seven is not included.
Seven Is a Separate Choice: Only a combined total of seven qualifies for this selection. - How Broad Is Down? For two fair six-sided dice, fifteen of thirty-six ordered pairs give a sum below seven.
- How Broad Is Up? Up also covers fifteen of thirty-six ordered pairs, the same number as Down.
- How Often Is Seven Possible? Six ordered pairs make seven, fewer than either broad range.
- Wait for Both Dice: The system or dealer reveals the complete pair before settlement.
- Add the Face Values: The combined sum identifies which area qualifies for payment.
Read the Quoted Return:
- The listing commonly gives Up and Down a quoted payment of 1:1 on a win; check whether the shown return includes your stake.
- For an exact seven , the source quotes 4:1 or 5:1. Check the version’s rules; the larger quote alone does not establish better value.
