So, my friends and I were playing a game with dices, and we used to get three same numbers for three times in a row. So we are wondering what are the probabilities for something like that to occur?

Do you mean three consecutive triples, or the same three consecutive triples? Does $2-2-2,3-3-3,4-4-4$ count, or would you have to have $1-1-1$ three straight times?

We got 5-5-5, 6-6-6, 4-4-4. Like this.

${1over6^6}approx .00002143347$
