/*
* In a hypothetical real-estate themed board game, a player rolls two dice to
*move their token around the perimeter of the board by the number of squares
*shown on the face of the dice. At each spot the player lands, he or she must
*take an action, either purchasing a property or paying some cash penalty. If
*the player lands on a property, she or he must purchase it. If the property
*has already been purchased, the player does nothing. If the player lands on a
*penalty square, he or she must pay the penalty, no matter how many times the
*player lands on it. The table below shows each square on the board, and the
*price or penalty for each square.
* Each time the player rounds the board (reaches or passes the "Go" square),
*the player earns $200. There is no other way to earn money. Play continues
*until the player lands on a property or penalty he or she cannot afford or
*there have been 1,000 rolls of dice.
* Assuming only one player who starts with $1500 per game, and 1,000 games,
*please answer the following questions:
* What is the average number off rolls (turns) in a game?
* What is the average number of properties purrchased in a game?
* As a percentage, in how many games is Indiana Avenue purchased?

aaaaaaaaaaaaaand ... what exactly is your question? if it's a request to do your homework .. no.
I suggest you take a look at the community rules, especially the one that states:
Do provide evidence of having done some work yourself if posting questions from school or work assignments
we'll help you improve your code, but we're not here to help you cheat your way through school.

It isn't homework, just a java project I found and would like help doing

I need to gain practice, and have no book anymore.

if you can't get to run it in NetBeans, maybe you should consider not using NetBeans.
if it was code you have written, you would know how to run it.
I need to gain practice, and have no book anymore.
you don't gain practice from copy pasting code and trying to get it to work. chances are, the code you've copied is worthless crap, or even when it is decent code, it's to complicated for your level of knowledge.
buy a new book, and go through it, or just use the official online documentation

JavaMonopoly(args); has to be static
why should it? no, the error says you can't use this in a static context.
do you know what the this keyword is/does/refers to?
the code as you posted it doesn't even compile, so that's not producing any runtimeexceptions. just so you know... make your Die class static and try again.

You have created Die as an inner class, but there's no reason to do that. I would move the declaration of Die to outside the JavaMonopoly class.
