Question

Following is a description of the game of craps. A player rolls two dice and computes the total of the spots showing. If the player's first toss is a 7 or 11, the player wins the game. If the first toss is a 2, 3, or 12, the player loses the game. If the player rolls anything else (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) on the first toss, that value becomes the player's point. If the player does not win or lose on the first toss, he tosses the dice repeatedly until he obtains either his point or a 7. He wins if he tosses his point before tossing a 7 and loses if he tosses a 7 before his point. What is the probability that the player wins a game of craps? I don't know where to start.
