Need help figuring out the last problem to a craps game

processed (1)
Hello,

I am in a beginners C++ course and have to complete a craps game assignment. The only specific requirement is to use a void function to print out a banner whenever a user does a.out. I don't have any compiling errors, but the game goes into an infinite if loop only when the player rolls a point. I have been at this since yesterday but can't figure it out. Ill post the current code and then the previous.

cout << "Your roll: " << die1 << " plus "  //You cout die1 twice, instead of die1 and then die2
       << die1 << " = " << roll << endl;
