A Field bet in craps is made on a single roll. The player predicts that a certain number will fall out. If it happens, the bet wins, if not – there is a loss.

The odds of betting on Field are as follows:

  • For numbers 3, 4, 9, 10 and 11 the payout is calculated as 1 to 1.
  • Number 2 and 12 – payout is 2 to 1, more rarely 3 to 1.

  • Simplicity. The prediction is made for one shot, and the result is known immediately.

What is the best craps betting strategy?

Playing Field dice in the long run is not the most profitable idea, but there are some strategies that help to minimize losses and increase winnings over a short distance. The basic approach in this case is to set a bankroll and stick to it. You can divide the amount into several parts and bet one at a time to participate in the hand. Secondly, it is better to use the winnings for further bets, and the bankroll to set aside. Thirdly, use a combined craps-hop betting scheme, for example, combine Field with Pass Line and Come. Such a combination can bring winnings in a short distance.

Iron Cross Dice Strategy

The Iron Cross system combines a Field bet with a Place bet of 5, 6 or 8. It is customary to use the same amounts, although it is possible to raise to a certain progression.

  • With numbers 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 or 12 the Field bet wins and the Place bets remain on the table.
  • A roll of 5 – the Place bet on 5 wins and pays 7:5, but the Field bet loses. The other two bets remain on the field.
  • A roll of 6 or 8 – the corresponding Place bet wins and pays 7:6, but loses Field. The other two bets remain on the field.
  • When 7 appears – all four bets are lost. Of course, the total number 7 is the most frequent combination, but the previous situations help to reduce the number of failures.

The strategy “Iron Cross” will work if the sum of winnings exceeds the losses. Statistics show that such a betting system for a long gaming session is not profitable. Accordingly, it is important to stop in time to maintain a positive result.

Explanation of the Craps Come bet: what is it and how does it work?

The Come bet is made before the Point is established. After it, the Point or another number that becomes it will fall out. To make a Come bet, you must get a number between 4 and 10, but not 7, during a Pass Line bet. The Point must then be repeated, with 7 again being an undesirable number. Come bet – can be part of a strategy to deprive the opponents of favorable positions before their turn. The payout on it is calculated in the ratio of 1 to 1 if 7 and 11 fall out. Defeat happens with numbers 2 and 3, as well as craps, that is 12.
