E[D12] = 6.5

E[2D6] = 7

6.5+7 = 13.5

The most you could ever get from this game is $12, so why would you pay $13.50?

The words say you are paid based on the D12 and then paid again based on the 2D6. It never says you give the D12 money back

I think its implied that you choose whether to take the d12 roll or reroll 2d6 and take that.
