The expected gain, in gambling, probability theory or economics is a measure of the relative balance of win or loss weighted by their chances of occurring.

For example, if a fair die is thrown and numbers 1 and 2 win £1, but 3-6 lose £0.5, then the expected gain per throw is

£1 × 1/3 - £0.5 × 2/3 = £0:

the game is thus fair.
