Each die has numbers from 1 to 6. Rolling three dice together produces 6 × 6 × 6 = 216 possible combinations. The probabilities for all betting markets are calculated from these 216 combinations.
The total of three dice can range from a minimum of 3 (1+1+1) to a maximum of 18 (6+6+6). Mid-range totals such as 10 or 11 are the most probable because there are more combinations that produce them. By contrast, rolling a 3 or 18 is the least likely outcome — with only a 1/216 chance.
