***SPOILERS***

How much money did he actually make after betting $80k on the last roll? I have no idea how craps works or what the odds are.

I can't remember what he rolled but if it was a 7 or 11 it's an even money bet so he turns 80k into 160k

If he rolled a 3,4,9,10 or 11 he would have won 80k. If a 2 or 12 he wins 160k, 240k if the 12 is triple in the casino. All other numbers lose. Keep in mind it's a 1 roll bet.

so the famous "hard 8" would lose?
