i am pretty sure this has been asked before but i cant seem to find the answerwhat is the average length of a roll?
or put another way what is the average number of rolls before a seven out?
thanks,

I found this thread by searching for '557/165,' in which 7craps posted, '...557/165 being the average number of rolls per pass line decision...'
That answers, 'what is the average length of roll?' but not '...what is the average number of rolls before a seven out?'
I looked on the WoO site and couldn't find a concise explanation, so here's an old article by the late Dr. Catlin:

I still don't understand why that strategy does not work.

...figuring that a 'seven' was soon due.

Did the dice know a seven was 'soon due'? Were they keeping track as well as you were?
:o)
Average rolls per shooter is 1671/196, or about 8.53. The last one is always the seven-out -- the calculation doesn't count people who pass the dice mid-hand -- so the average number of rolls before the seven-out is about 7.53.

my goodness...peoples must be 'passing the dice' much more often than what i have experienced in over 42 years at the rail...but whatever...but, yes, thank you very much...you have answered my question and the answer of 8.5 rolls is pretty close to what i thought it was but i just couldn't locate the info...
again, thank you for your time and good efforts

That is why I used to bet the pass line and then the come line adding odds each time then I'd wait a roll and start on the don't comes figuring that a 'seven' was soon due.
I still don't understand why that strategy does not work.
LOL...um...because 'due theory' is flawed perhaps? i say this fully appreciating that you are just being facetious...or might be...
but more accurately due theory is just one of many 'gamblers' fallacies', albeit a quite understandable one...homo sapiens does seem to be universally or genetically 'hard wired' to see patterns in random events...presumably such predisposition has or once had survival advantages...

'just being facetious..or might be.... '
Actually I'm still puzzled by dealers telling me I'm all wet in believing it.
As to seeing patterns... when we caveman it was really advantageous to look at vegetation and see the pattern of a concealed leopard or tiger or something. Hunters survive better if they can detect camouflage, either natural or man made. So perhaps it is a good instinct to still have; how many times has a player dropped out of a pot and twisted his ring, etc.
My feeling is that although them dice don't count the rolls and some people go on history making rolls, if the average is 8 or so... then once I'm on the DO for a few bets I should switch to the DONTS because that dreaded seven will indeed roll sometime soon.

But the problem is, you can't take your do bets down.
