Suppose the odds of rolling a 1 on a die are 1/6.  And the odds of rolling a 1 
on another die are 1/6.  The odds of picking up the dice,
shaking them and rolling two 1s are 1/36 (= 1/6 x 1/6).  That’s because the two 
rolls are “statistically independent” events, even though they
are not physically independent.
A Buddhist casino calculates odds the same way as Las Vegas.
