[edit] Merger of Big and small into Sic bo
There is significant overlap in the content of the two articles and, as far as I can tell from research on the Internet, 'Sic bo' is the more common term in English-speaking countries; it is the term used in the laws regulating UK casinos, for example. If the games are variants of each other, the principal differences appear to be only the range of wagers offered (and, perhaps, the odds for wagers that are common to the games). --Fibula 14:32, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Macau name?
i just visited the Sands and the Wynn in Macau and both refered to it as Sic Bo and not anything else. I am not frequent macau visitor, so i'm not sure if this is common at the local casinos or not. but if someone knows they might want to correct the article. 137.189.4.1 03:07, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Probability Error
The probability for Four Number Combination is given as 1.85%, which is 4/216. There are 4 ways to choose which 3 of the 4 numbers will appear, but then 3! ways to permute these numbers amongst the dice, giving 24/216 = 1/9 = 11.11%. Odds of 7 to 1 are plausible for a probability of 1/9, but not for a probability of 1.85%. Any disagreements? Jim 14159 12:58, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
The probabilities and payouts also seem inconsistent for "Three Single Number Combination" and "Specific Double and Single Number Combination" They would result in a negative house edge. Jim 14159 02:59, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Confusion on Single Dice Bet
If there are 3 dice involved, and you select any single number 1 to 6, isn't the probability that your number shows up suppose to be 50% not 34.72%??? From my understanding there is a 1 in 6 probabilty that you will see your number on one die, so a 3 in 6 probability that you will see it on atleast one of the 3 die correct? 34.72% works out to a ratio of 217/625, how can this be?
