About
This tool calculates probabilities for bids in the game
dudo
The cut feature refers to the ability to,
rather than raising a bid,
to change the bid value to 1 and cut the # of dice in half. For example,
a current bid for 3 dice of 7 pipes can be followed by a bid of 2 dice of 1 pip.
uncut refers to the ability to, after the bids have been cut
in a round, to undo the cut by raising the # of pips above 1 then doubling the
# of dice and adding 1.
Bids can only be cut and uncut once per round.
Math
The probability of a dudo bid is P where:
P = P'(X=2) + P'(X=3) ... up to n
where:
n is the number of total dice on the table
P' is the probability that the rolls will match the bid exactly
P'(X=r) = nCr · pʳ · (1-p)ⁿ⁻ʳ
where:
r is the number of dice bid
p is the probability of a successful roll
(1/6 normally, 2/6 if 1’s are wild and the bid value (# of pips) is greater than 1
n is the number of total dice on the table
and nCr is n choose r, ie:
nCr = n! / [(n - r)! * r!]
Notes
All percentage probabilities are rounded to 2 decimal points.
