Hello, When my program runs and reaches the winning condition of else: it will print both from the if and else as well as subtract the 1 as if it was a losing value.
Need help with the order of operations.

an example of the outcome

Output:
what is your name?keys
Hello! keys
you rolled a 6
	loser
your cash is 99

you rolled a 8
	loser
your cash is 98

you rolled a 9
	loser
your cash is 97

you rolled a 7
	loser
your cash is 96

[color=#1ABC9C]you rolled a 11
	loser
your cash is 95

you rolled a 11
	winner!
your cash is 195[/color]

#dice game

name = input("what is your name?")
print ("Hello!",name)

import random
die1 = random.randint(1, 6)
die2 = random.randint(1, 6)
total = die1 + die2
money = 100
while total <10:
    if total <10:
        die1 = random.randint(1, 6)
        die2 = random.randint(1, 6)
        total = die1 + die2
        money -=1
    print ("you rolled a",total)
    print ("\tloser")
    print ("your cash is",money)

else:
        money +=100
        print("you rolled a",total)
        print("\twinner!")
        print("your cash is",money)

First of all, I don't understand why you have both 11 and 12. It seems like you don't need both.

But your big problem is that you're changing the total after testing it, but before doing something with it.

Imagine you got a 5 and entered the if portion. Then you change total to something else (like 11). it then removes 1 and prints "loser"without caring that total is now greater.

Thanks for the reply,
With your notes i was able to re order the code for a working result xd
Thanks again.

#dice game

name = input("what is your name?")
print ("Hello!",name)


total = 0
money = 100
import random    
while money >=0:
    input("Press Enter to roll")
        
    die1 = random.randint(1, 6)
    die2 = random.randint(1, 6)
    total = die1 + die2
    money -=1
    if total <10:
        money -=20
        print ("you rolled a",total)
        print ("\tloser")
        print ("your cash is",money)

    elif total >=10:
        money +=100
        print("you rolled a",total)
        print("\twinner!")
        print("your cash is",money)
