Street Games (A mathematical approach?)

I'm going to be concise and short with this post.

I became curious as to how to maximize control over the Street Games. Probability & Statistics is an ugly/beautiful thing.

My goal was/is to find out which numerical values are most likely to be rolled with 6 dice. Once I obtained this (hopefully valid) information, I decided to apply it by only gambling in the Street Games when most (or all) of the best prizes fall on number totals that are more likely to occur.

I found a handy site called: anydice.com

I used "output 6d6" (Six, six-sided dice are rolled)

Not entirely sure how accurate the results are since the odds of rolling a total of 6 with all 6 dice comes out to 0.0%...

20-22 yield the highest roll total probability, 17-25 being the overall best numbers to have top prizes on when rolling in the SG.

PLEASE NOTE: I will be the first to say these results may not be 100%, but I do not think they are completely false.


Thoughts? I doubt I am the first to try this or implement such an idea. Did anyone else do this?

In theory the board of the streetgames says enough.
18-20 and 21-23 being able to occur the most with 6 and 36 occurirng the least.
I've found that my rolls end up on the high side though so it's more like the 21+ rolls happen more often but as I have gathered no actual data on this, meh :p
The fun thing about gambling is that although theoretical knowledge helps, it isn't fully practical hence even if there is a 0.1% chance to win the game that still means it could happen although statistically speaking it's nearly impossible.

Heck I've rolled 3 Yahtzee's in a row one time and the chance of even rolling one in 1 throw is nearly impossible xD

We can all agree that 17-25 are the best stastical rolls for the more desirable prizes. However I noticed that such prizes like mass quantities of trophies always fall on numbers with the smallest roll chance.

Pretty sure that's because the best prizes are supposed to be the most rare :p
Some people have already won a premium slave and big batches of trophies. I've won a couple of oranges myself.
