☼ In playing the Field, the casino has a 5.56% advantage, excluding the Double Payout on the Two and the Triple/Double Payout on the Twelve. Picking up a field number after a non-field number has been rolled changes this odds to a 19.14% disadvantage against the house. There is 17% change of throwing three non-field numbers in a roll, giving the bettor a 32.85% advantage in this situation. So, why don't you see more players in Las Vegas playing the odds on a field bet? The casinos say that it is a sucker bet. If you include the bonus payout on the twelve and the two, the casino advantage on the field bet is only 2.78%. That percentage amount is the odds favoring the casino in rolling a Seven when Six or Eight is the point. This is the smallest casino edge bet on the table--other than a Pass Line bet or a Don't Pass Line bet.
On a roulette table, the house shows you a string of numbers that have been played. Playing the Field is like betting on the Red or the Black on a roulette table. Winning at craps means that the odds on the table are out of skelter with true odds. True odds say that you will not make money at the craps table. The house has an edge, and to beat the house you need to raise the stakes and increase your odds bets so as to trim the casino's edge. This is what all the Casino Crap experts have to say. This is complete Jacko Jew Christ nonsense.
What if the casinos decided to make SEVEN a push number if you played the field. If a Seven was rolled and you made a field bet, the house would let your bet ride. Without the Seven in the Field mix, the house odds go from 5.56% in the house's favor to 5.56% against it.
How do you take the SEVEN out of the mix when you play the field? What are the odds of throwing two Seven's back to back? The odds of rolling a Seven is 16.67%. The odds of rolling two back to back Sevens is 2.78%. By placing a Field bet just after a Seven has been rolled, the odds of rolling a field number is 2.78% in the bettors favor. You have removed the Seven from the mix by 5/6 by using this strategy. If the casino plays triple odds on TWELVE, multiply this amount by four to give the bettor an 11.11 percent advantage on playing the field.
This strategy only works if you play the field only after a SEVEN has been rolled. If the last shooter did not make the point, you will be playing the field on the Come Out roll. If the shooter did make the point, your field bet is highly vulnerable to a Seven being rolled on a Come Out roll. If the Come Out roll is a SEVEN, play the field after the Seven.
The Pass Line Better.
When you place an odds bet, the collective odds are against you by a 3:2 margin. If you have placed a Field bet, you can cover your odds bet with your Field Bet winnings. If your Pass Line bet bet is $10 and you want 2X odds, place a Field bet of $20. 1X odds: Place a field bet of $10.
What if the shooter rolled a SIX or a EIGHT or FIVE on the come out roll? {SEVEN; EIGHT; FIELD} In this situation, you should chase after your lost money by making another Field Bet. The odds of throwing a non-field number after two non-field numbers has been rolled is only 17% to the casino's disadvantage. The Field bettor has better than a 32% advantage if you try to pick up the money that you lost for making a field bet if a SEVEN, EIGHT, FIVE, or SIX has been rolled. Do not chase after lost money past this point. Wait for another SEVEN to be rolled and start the strategy over again.
If you are a Pass Line better, most of the Sevens will be rolled on the Come Out roll will be made after a Point number has been made. Otherwise, a Seven rolled will be a push in a Field bet situation if your Field bet is the same as your Line bet. You lose your bet in the Field but pick up your lose as a Front Line better when a Seven is Rolled.
The Field is a Craps Check for the Field better on the Come Out roll and pays double and triple odds if a Two or a Twelve is rolled. The bonus odds will give you one-half of the power of a SEVEN that would be working for you on any Come Out roll. Remember, you are only going to place a field bet after a SEVEN has been rolled.
If the table is warm to hot, most of your bets will not make use of this strategy. You are only going to use this strategy after a Seven has been rolled. A hot table will pick up about 50-80 percent of the point numbers thrown.
If the table is cold, you should switch over the the Don't Pass Line side of the table. When your field bets win on a TEN, FOUR, or a NINE, lay double the Pass Line Bet. For computation purposes, a $30 bet is an ideal bet. A $30 lay bet pays $25 dollars if you bet against a SIX or and EIGHT Point. A $30 Lay bet pays $20 if you bet against a NINE or a FIVE point. A $30 lay bet pays $15 if you bet against a TEN or a FOUR in a Don't Pass Line situation.
A conservative better would lay a equal amounts across all point numbers rolled. By winning on the TEN, NINE, and FOUR, you can increase your lay bets in this situation or you can use your field bet win money for making a even $30 lay bet on all point numbers rolled. You are playing the Don't Pass Line because the odds of not making a point are as high as 2:1 or greater in your favor. A Cold streak, like a hot streak, can put the odds in your favor by a 9:1 margin if you are a Don't Pass line player; a 6:1 margin is a good hot streak for a Pass Line better.
