If a person rolls doubles when tossing two dice, the roller profits $50, that is, the roller receives $50 more than the cost of the game. If the game is fair, how much should the person pay to play the game?
probability of getting doubles is 6/36 = 1/6
As the game is fair, the total value should be zero
1/6*50 - 5/6*x = 0
x = 50/6 * 6/5
x = 10
Hence, $10 should be paid

Bob and Doug are playing the following game. Bob starts by rolling two fair dice; if the sum of his dice is six, then he wins the game. If not, then Doug rolls the dice, and if the sum of his rolls is seven, then he wins the game. If neither player wins the game during the first round, then they repeat the process (with Bob going first) until someone wins a round. What is the probability that Bob wins...
