When playing internet craps
a very important aspect to learn is are the different types
of bets. On this page will we try and focus on the "Field
Bets". The field bet is also amongst the smarter bets
in craps, but not the great odds you get with odds on the
pass line. The field holds approximately a 5.5% house edge.
As you'll become aware of the field is an area on the craps
table just beyond the don't pass bar. The additional handy
bit about a field bet is that it can be played on any roll,
so it's a very non-threatening move. |

The great feature to the field bet is the straightforwardness. It's a one-time bet which states simply: if the shooter throws a 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12 (any of the numbers in the field area) then you win. If a 5, 6, 7, or 8 are thrown then you lose. There is no trick to placing your chips on one of the numbers in the field, its just anywhere you want and any of those number can be hit. If your betting on the field, most casinos also give you a bonus if a 2 or a 12 is thrown (notice the circles on those numbers). Many casinos pay 2x your bet when a 2 or "snake eyes" is thrown and some even pay 3x your bet if a 12 (commonly called a 'midnight') is thrown. So look at that, even if you're just a beginner you already know exactly how to make a pass bet, a pass bet with odds, and a field bet. Most of the wagering at a craps table revolves around just these betting techniques. |
