    1/5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    i had a similar question

    For each roll you start with paying 2 dollars and you only with 10 dollars one out of 6 rolls (on average).

    So the cost for one play is 2 dollars and your win is 10/6.

    Value is - 2+10/6=-1/3 dollars

    So you lose 1/3 dollars on average with each game

    since you have no limited rolls u put 1/5

    this from another question but both same just different numbers
