    Find the expected value of each case

    1 comes up - - - > 1/6 (-10) = - 10/6

    3 comes up - - - > 1/6 (-30) = - 30/6

    5 comes up - - - > 1/6 (-50) = - 50/6

    2 comes up - - - > 1/6 (10) = 10/6

    4 comes up - - - > 1/6 (20) = 20/6

    6 comes up - - - > 1/6 (30) = 30/6

    sum = 1/6 (-10 - 30 - 50 + 10 + 20 + 30) = - 30/6 = - 5
