I have trouble answering this question without getting personal, but I’ll try. The idea is that people think they’re moving in the right direction but they’re actually making a choice in the moment or their perception of the moment that leads them astray. Think Wildest Dreams: he’s so tall and handsome as hell … and no one will know if I just … Angels roll their eyes at that because they see the plan, the direction, the ideas that underlie the choices. Devils rely on you not seeing, on you misreading, on you not knowing yourself very well so you choose the wrong thing. Directionality is very important in Taylor’s work.

I suspect this is a lousy answer but I can’t get into more without getting personal and I’m not going to do that.

I was watching a guy blowing gently into his hand. Where he cupped a pair of dice. He's been winning, his rolls were smooth as silk.
His point was 10, I could hear him softly saying as he was breathing into his hand. "Come on Tennessee. I need a couple of Feebas, come see me.".
As he drew his hand back, I got worried. But as he prepared to roll the dice, suddenly he hesitated.
The dice flipped out of his hand anyway, rolling on the floor. Came to a tumbling Halt, I said ouch, Snake Eyes, you lose. My turn to roll.

Hey Dan, you asked me this question twice bro. Hopefully in between the lines this is what you were looking for.

You ever met a person with snake eyes, supposedly they can't be trusted, devious, only think of themselves, conniving. Sometimes I think it's all hype, tired and dreary is people stereotyping.

Speaking of which.

THE POPE SPEAKS FROM THE MOUTH OF A SNAKE.
Some say the Pope's Audience Hall was deliberately designed to look like the head of a snake.

Pope Paul VI's Audience Hall was built in 1971, but its bizarre design has just caught the attention of conspiracy theorists in 2017. There has always been a strange curiosity surrounding the hall, but when internet sleuths realized what the Pope's stage looks like from the back of the room, all Hell broke loose. Not only does the Audience Hall contain absolutely no traditional Catholic symbols, the design has people wondering whether the Catholic Church is even run by Catholics anymore.

Before we get to the stunning and bizarre architectural design that everyone is talking about, let's look at the sculpture that rests behind the Pope on the stage where he addresses his audience.

That, according to the artist Pericle Fazzini, is Jesus Christ rising up from a nuclear crater following a holocaust. The sculpture was commissioned in 1965 by Count Galeassi and was meant to depict the threat of nuclear war in the 20th Century. The problem for a lot of conspiracy theorists is that the sculpture, like the entire hall, contains no crucifixes or Catholic symbolism.

Now, if we zoom out to see the stage from the back of the room, this is what we see...

The Pope addresses the audience from a chair that situates him smack-dab in between what clearly appears to be two fangs. The two stained glass windows on each side give the appearance of eyes.

Of course, the hall only takes on the appearance of a massive reptilian, snake-like head from certain angles, but looking directly on from the back of the room, where much of the audience enters, it's difficult to miss the architectural design.

A part of the building stretches outside the Vatican and into Italy. The Hall seats nearly 6,500 people. Conspiracy theorists have made claims that range from the Vatican being overthrown by Satanists, to the Church being the victim of a coup d'etat in the 1960s in which Paul VI was killed and replaced by a doppelganger. Some have even suggested that the Catholic Church is being run by reptilians.

Not much is known about the reasons or intent for the Audience Hall's design, but what we do know is that our eyes aren't deceiving us. Not this time. But, maybe the whole thing is just an accident rather than a deliberate message or symbol embedded into a design.

The Pope Speaks From The Mouth Of A Snake

There's an old Indian thing . "He who speaks with a forked tongue."
Snake eyes. (Personally, I think Catholics have a lot of problems) This is just a prep question for my next answer. I think I solved the mystery.

Hard to tell!

If it is a pair of fair dice…

The chances of rolling ‘snake-eyes’ on any roll is [math]\frac{1}{36}[/math]

It doesn’t matter how many previous rolls there have been, the chances on the next roll are [math]\frac{1}{36}.[/math]

BUT…

By the time you get to roll number 7 - you might be starting to wonder about those dice? It isn't actually impossible to fairly get snake-eyes six times in a row - but the odds are only 1 in 2,176,782,336. That’s what statisticians call “not awfully likely!” (The odds of getting 7 snake-eyes in a row are 1 in 78,364,164,096)

So what are your actual odds on the seventh ‘snake-eyes’?

Somewhere between [math]\frac{1}{36} [/math]and [math]1[/math] (depending on how shady the establishment is!)

In the game of craps, any outcome depends entirely on the chance. Players can not influence the result of throws, so everything that is left for them to do is hope and try to attract luck. This is usually implemented with such chants as “seven come eleven,” “daddy needs a new pair of shoes,” “snake eyes,” and similar expressions.

At the same time, not all types of gamblers use phrases to try to win in the casino:

1. Fun players. These visitors of gaming clubs or sites are exactly the ones who are used to expressing their emotions with similar chants. They rarely bother about money and urge for quality entertainment inside a supportive group. Managers of gambling venues often attract these punters by making an accent on memorable prizes: trips, material objects, valuables, jewellery, but rarely money.
2. Time-on-device players. In comparison to the previous group, these casino participants consider victories a regular matter in a gaming club and criticize losses a lot. They do not want to spend many funds and are always eager to receive more than they wager. Casino administrators flatter them with bonus meals, beverages, (or free spins on sites) since such visitors are excited about spending more time in a club.
3. Professionals. One more group of players differs radically from those who might use lucky charms in their sessions. Professional punters make a living in casinos. They typically engage in tournaments with big prizes and prefer games with high RTP and player advantage (i.e. blackjack). Loyalty programs, access to unique competitions, and special statuses are the main ways managers attract them to participate more.

Casino facilities or playing sites do not only consist of visitors who exclaim different chants for their satisfaction. Such a picture is commonly represented just in films. For an administrator to configure his establishment with maximum efficiency, understanding the audience is a key factor.

When I began acquainting with the distinct types of gamers, I was also not aware of how to satisfy them all. Luckily, the cooperation with a professional aggregator Win&Win Casino implied elaboration of a complex loyalty program for my audience. I wish the answer will be beneficial for you. Stay safe.

It means that they’re gambling at the game of Craps.

The game looks complex to a novice but is actually pretty straightforward. Roll two dice - if the total is 7 or 11, you win immediately. If the total is 2, 3, or 12, you lose immediately. Any other number is your “point”… to win, you have to roll that number again before you roll a 7.

The Craps table is where you’ll often find the most engagement from the bettors — cheering when someone makes their point and complaining when it doesn't happen. It’s generally more entertaining than just banging a button on a slot machine over and over.

The house edge at Craps is one of the lowest in the casino… there’s even an unmarked bet where the house has NO edge! So the table is also covered with lots of proposition bets with much worse odds. An intelligent bettor can stretch his bankroll, effectively staying at the table for “hours on end”. Sooner or later, though, that house edge will grind you down.

The saying “seven come eleven” started decades ago when the first craps game originated. It is often used at a playing table to attract luck. The two specific numbers are mentioned because during the very first throw, hitting seven or eleven means an instant win.

Apart from sayings, gamblers also use other attributes or rituals to attract luck and improve their self-esteem during casino games:

• Using colours and numbers. Betting on the favourite digits is a common practice in roulette, for example. In many cultures, the number 13 is an unlucky omen, so it is avoided at any cost. Another way of popular luck attraction is based on colours. Again, red in roulette is more favoured than black. A lucky colour can also be prevailing in the wardrobe, chosen for a casino visit.
• Concealing information from others. This strange but commonly used ritual is based on people’s jealousy. Many believe that showing off their funds in a casino can attract bad energy that is emitted from others when they envy. So, some players tend to keep their money and even chips (if allowed) away from others’ eyes.
• Mentioning a win. Whispering luck and claiming a victory beforehand are two opposite things for gamblers. Some players do not mention and do not like when others say about a win before it happens. Such superstitions are common among casino visitors, and it is interesting to see their exclaiming reaction if won.
• Lucky charms. Small things can also be seen in players’ hands during gaming sessions. While a horseshoe and a rabbit foot are considered the most common implications of lucky charms, there is no limit to people’s imagination. Quite often, such things are hidden from others for the sake of preserving them from bad energy. But the feeling of a lucky charm being nearby instils a positive mindset in gamblers.
• Casino entry. This concerns not only gambling but any activity that requires a good start. Players would make the first step in the hall with their “lucky” foot, or perform some kind of ritual. This also sets a gambler in a victorious mood and gives the inspiration to play more.

Lucky rituals and sayings exist not only in land-based establishments. As an experienced operator of a gambling platform, I have seen numerous people mention their favourite sayings in chats or during live sessions. If it inspires them for a longer pastime on the site — I am more than happy.

It is just important to ensure they feel comfortable on the web platform. In my case, the assistance of a professional guide company Bett-Market helped me set up a perfect gambling environment for punters from a targeted region.

Hopefully, this answer will inspire you as well. Best regards from Elliot!

To state the obvious, dice don’t remember what was rolled before. I play a lot of games and I am assuming you mean when you roll 2 d6 (dice with the dots 1 to six on them). There are many different dice out there, not only d6’s.

Each time you roll a d6, you have a 1 in 6 (1/6) chance of rolling any number from 1 to 6. Therefore, if you roll 2 d’s you have a 1/6 chance of rolling a 1 on the first die (or is it dice) and again when you roll the second die you have a 1/6 chance of rolling a 1. So for your answer you have 1/6 multiplied by 1/6 which equals 1/36.

If you have any other questions about odds, look up topics on probability.

I have heard of the “eye of the beholder”.

A beholder is an observer: someone who gains awareness of things through the senses, especially sight. If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then the person who is observing gets to decide what is beautiful.

Perhaps the “eye of the snake” (if there is such a thing) is the person who gets to decide for you what is beautiful? Like the snake in the Garden of Eden who got to decide for Eve what was pleasant to behold i.e. the Forbidden Fruit (Genesis 3:6–7).

6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

When playing craps, on the “come out roll” which is the first roll of the game in which no point has yet been established, you can win even money by rolling either a 7 or 11. (2, 3, or 12 loses and is called “craps”, while all other possible outcomes would establish a point of 4,5,6,8,9, or 10)

Once the point is established, a late start game can have the same rules as the original bet by placing your wager on the “Come”. While no point is established, the Come bet is not available, but after a point is established, it is.

If you roll a 7 during a point (if the point is 5, then you need a 5 before 7 to win) then the passline bet (the original bet that started this game) loses, however the Come bet wins.

If you roll an 11 before the point hits again, then the passline bet stays where its at, and the Come bet wins.

The expression “Seven come eleven” is a three way wager on all of these positions. You can bet on the 7 to occur on the very next roll, paying 4 to 1 odds, the 11 to occur on the very next roll, paying 16 to 1 odds (15 to 1 in some casinos) and the Come bet is an even money bet. If you bet 15$ split 3 ways, you get paid 75$ on 11 and keep rolling, or 35$ on 7 after everything comes down, or craps could happen( 2,3,12) costing you a loss and you cough up another 15$ to stay up on the next roll, or one of the other 6 numbers hits (4,5,6,8,9 or 10) and you get to place odds on those.

In gambling, it refers to throwing these things called ‘dice’ (‘dice’ is the plural; ‘die’ is the singular form):

When you gamble, you can make a fortune or lose all of your money just because of how the dice land. The dice land in a certain way because of how you throw them in the first place. You can say express all of that by simply saying “she made a fortune just with a throw of the dice"; or “he lost his life savings because of one throw of the dice.”

This has since become a metaphor for a drastic life change that occurs because of one simple decision or action. Ie looking both ways before crossing the road ensures you don't get run over.

Cute names for dice combinations originate from the game of Craps. There are two reasons for this.

First, the croupier is trying to keep the game interesting and exciting. Simply announcing numbers would make it boring. Like Keno — a game so boring most people play it while doing something else like eating lunch.

Second, the names for dice rolls must be announced unambiguously. Hence, a 5-6 combo is known as “yo"; because “eleven" could be confused with “seven" in a noisy casino.

Some other names for dice rolls:

• 1-1: “Snake eyes"
• 6–6: “Box cars"
• 1–2: “Acey Deucy" or “Little Joe"
• 5–6: “Yo" or “Yo-leven"
• Any 9: “Nina" or “Center Field"
• Any 5: “Fever"

You can see some overlap with radio protocol “niner", showing how these terms are used to avoid confusion.

Note that doubles are called “hard ways", and other even rolls are “easy ways". Thus, 5–5 would be: “ten, hard ways".
