You can generalise that to any odds based gambling, lotteries, the pools etc. It is a Dark Art to many. To those of us who fall outside the standard deviation however ....

Ask him to explain average dice then where the two extremes are removed

Howard Whitehouse explains average dice in A Gentleman's War.

They were invented to make wargames boring.
