Julio is playing a game with a standard 6-sided number cube. Every time he rolls an even number, he loses $3. Every time he rolls an odd number, he wins the amount of money showing on the face. Is this a fair game? If not, explain.

Answer: Yes this is a fair game

Explanation:

He does not pay anything (I assume) just to play the game. So even if he just rolls a 2 then he receives 2 dollars because he payed nothing. And he has a 50/50 chance of rolling odd vs even numbers so yes, this is a fair game.
