    There are ...

    1 way to roll 2

    2 ways to roll 3

    3 ways to roll 4

    4 ways to roll 5

    hence 10 ways to lose $114 out of the 36 ways the dice can land. For each of the remaining 26 ways the dice can land, you win $41. The expected value of your winnings is

    (10/36) * (-114) + (26/36) * (41) = - 31.67 + 29.61 = - 2.06
