Casino Secrets of the Field Bet

[@Coolguy-ny5nl]

Excellent and organized explanation....never thought of cost per hour...as usual great job color up.

[@jasonschmidt8414]

I started watching your videos because I had no clue on how to play craps. It always intimidated me so I just avoided it all together. However, I decided to finally sit down, learn the basics and found your videos. Your videos made it real simple to understand and I gained a lot of confidence when playing this game. I downloaded a decent electronic game to practice on and gained a little more confidence. I finally decided to go play for real and went with a conservative strategy at first till I built a little "play money". I went in with $300 and came out with $645 ($345 gain) after a few hours. There were highs and lows and a lot of on hands learning. Overall I had a lot of fun and I think I have a new favorite game to play at the casino now. Thank you!

I thought that only happened to me. 🤣

[@robertestrada9643]

try playing the field on the opening roll

[@mehiatt]

Wonderfully presented. You clearly state exactically the truth about the enticing FIELD bet. When I was 21 years old at Harolds Club Reno Nevada in 1965 on the Dime Minimum Table, I bet a dime in the field on each roll, doubling up after each loss. Once my progression had pushed me up from a dime to a $6 bet. A twelve rolled and I won $18. When the night was over I'd won $40.

[@ColorUp]

I can be fun, and work out in your favor!

[@SportsBoss999]

At first, I wondered why in the hell would a Field Bet be more costly (losing $28 per hour) than the Any Craps bet (losing $11 per hour), when the house edge is much lower (5.6% vs 11%). And of course it's because you are only playing $1 at a time on the Any Craps bet compared to $5 a roll on the Field Bet. As always, Color Up, you've got us thinking of the best way to play Craps. Very interesting!

[@scottmorrison6027]

Quality content right here. Well explained. The gambler always needs to consider the decisions per hour and not fixate on only the house edge. Thanks for making this!

[@ColorUp]

Thanks for watching

[@NeverTalkToCops1]

That is garbage. Why? Casinos are still in business. No gambler's strategy works in the long term.

[@benkempf]

@@NeverTalkToCops1 the video explains a strategy. Strategy can greatly level a luck based playing field. Having a strategy puts you in a better position than 80% of the people at the table and lowers the cost of your unavoidable loses.

[@ColorUp]

Sure some tables are much slower, some are actually faster. 100 was a good number for the theory or showing comparison with math. You could change to 50 or 10 and all the results would be affected equivalently.

[@dennisketterer4465]

Great information! It explains why I generally win until I've played 3:15. The closer I get to that, the more I tend to lose. Now I know why.

[@billkoetting5197]

A lot of information in 12 minutes, thank you. On the other hand, I don't care if the house wins $5.60 on a hundred rolls. It's either I win, or they win on a bet. Your strategies are what I am interested in as they are very good. I often switch strategies depending on a hot or cold table. I wouldn't know how to do that if it were not for your informative videos. Thank you!

[@DRY06LIGHTNING]

I like combining the field with the pass line on the come out roll

[@ColorUp]

It’s a hedge many play

[@markfrykholm5358]

This is fascinating. I live in Vegas and play the field every time along with the pass lane and rarely walk away with less than I started 🤷‍♂️

[@alwaysradical1613]

I used to do that too, but now, I play the 2, 3, and 12 prop bets every time I play the pass line, although I do vary it sometimes

[@mpcar74c78]

I play the field bet when the point is a five because I always have the 6&8 and the field covers every other roll of the dice in this case. Five on the line, ten odds, and twelve on the 6&8. Then rake in the money every single roll until the point or seven roll. If 6 or 8 roll collect $9 and put the other $5 back in the field

[@votaric]

Place bet 6 & 8, double up on loss, double again if loss, if lucky someone goes on a hot roll. Have fun and be ready to run after a good roll.

[@ormesquite]

I like to play the field, and hedge with a 5,6,8 place bet, every roll I collect. When a field bet hits, I double it. If it hits again, I keep original 1 unit and play the 3 units. If it hits again, rack and back down 1 unit. I've won good money really quick.

[@nategibbons172]

I like the field bet, I use it to recover from a bad losing streak, sometimes it works, I have been on the field many times when the dice do not hit any of the field numbers after 8=10 rolls. It is almost unbelievable how long the dice can be rolled without hitting a field number. Best way to bet is, sparingly.

[@SportsBoss999]

Great video! I now have a much greater understanding of why the Field bet is so bad. Looks like I'm sticking to Pass line and Odds bets. Thanks!

Im just learning craps after going to the casino with some friends and watchinf a table heat up in front of me. Now Im trying to learn and get over my fear of even approaching the table lol. Thanks for your videos

[@howellwong11]

I can't remember when I last made a field bet. If you have fun doing it, do it. I bet only the Pass or Come line and back them up with the Odds because the House edge is minimum. The main thing is having fun with the amount of money allocated for it. When you reach that amount, leave. Better yet, leave when you are ahead, it is even more fun.

[@jaredcarrick3468]

I rarely play craps, but when I do, I table max bet the field for 1 roll of the dice. Win or lose, I’m finished with the craps table at that point. It has covered my blackjack/slot machine losses toooo many times for me to remember 🤑 The craps dealers at my local indian casino know me at this point (I’m easily distinguishable when you see my beard 😂) plus they know my tactic. When they see me walk up and one of their craps regs is playing, I can hear them telling the reg “Oh here comes this guy. Watch what he’s going to do”. They aren’t really trash talking, as they are always rooting for me and celebrate when I hit. I seem to be pretty lucky when it comes to hitting 2s and 12s, but they only pay 2-1 there. But thanks for your video! It made me feel less stupid about playing the field, because most regs there never do 🤪

[@dynjarren8355]

I love playing the Field! I especially like doubling my money when 2 or 12 comes out. But you can’t just keep playing the Field constantly. You’ll lose half the time. So at certain times the Field bet is great. So it’s the timing.

Super informative for newbies. My wife likes to play the field often but she only plays molly. I only play the field when I'm playing inside. That way only the EVIL number will knock me down.

[@deancarver6899]

Its a great way to play..

[@wiseman4160]

Engineer Cat when you play the field do you do it when shooter is rolling only. I'm just learning the game today. I like roulette, but I understand now why some like this game. And I like how if the shooter does well the other players can win also.

[@EngineerCatPyro]

@@wiseman4160 yes ill play the field to cover more numbers. Doesn't matter who is shooting. If im playing 44 inside I have 5 6 8 9 covered so I play the field to also cover 4 and 10. The payoff isn't as big if I placed 4 and 10 but since there's only 3 ways to roll both a 4 and a 10 the odds are against us to hit the 4 and 10 on a place bet. Your at the right channel to learn craps tho. Color up is #1 in my book. Taught me a lot. Unlike roulette your money doesn't come down after every roll of the ball win or lose. That's why I like craps. Your money is "working" on multiple throws of the dice until that evil number is thrown. AND if your playing the dark side "don't pass/come" that evil number is now your friend. :)

[@EngineerCatPyro]

@@wiseman4160 I should also state that i dont play the field every roll. If the field is hit. i skip the next roll. If the field misses twice then i'll play the next one.

Great job explaining the math behind everything. A lot of great points and knowledge on how the casino grinds out money for themselves.

[@rehobothpromotions]

If your comps are based on "time at the table" then stay away from the field and other single roll decision bets. The field has the lowest house edge (2.78%) and best probability (44.44%) of any single roll decision bet. This makes it viable for low risk + quick winning strategies. Lower per hour cost on higher house edge bets just mean it takes longer to lose more.

[@ColorUp]

It’s all gambling, lose faster or slower, whichever you get the best entertainment from.

[@gingerking3798]

I have a theory on the field if you normally play the 6 and 8. If you play the pass line once a point is established you cover the pass line 5,6,8 and field. You now have every number covered except 7 of course. Also winning double with 2 and triple with 12 I think making it worth it. A lot better bet if the point is a 5,6 or 8 now you already have it covered on the pass line

[@jimklemens5018]

Very informative. But it all changes depending upon how you play. For example using a Martingale method on the long shots like the HOP bets. Also if your playing the field every roll you can kind of hedge you but by playing the 5, 6 and 8. Keep in mind your still vulnerable to the 7.

I like the field. I bet the pass line minimum I cover my six and eight after the point is established and I put one minimum bet in the field. If it wins I'll cover the five and nine and then just sit back and collect until my money is right and my bets are paid for. Then, I'll drop my profit as odds on the past line three for every one. After that I will literally just let my bets come down as they hit unless a specific number keeps coming up and sometimes I'll press that number if I've taken down a few and I'm up. I just started playing but it was easy enough to catch on. If my initial field bet loses, I will collect my first six or eight or point, and then make another field bet with my next to try and cover the five and nine. If my third attempt at the field loses I'll take my bets down and just wait for point

[@mrperson6963]

so ive been falling into this betting strategy, without the 5 bet. just 6,8, and field... 11.11% difference but working very well.

[@samueleuresti3]

I wish I could get people to stop basing their strategies around the concept of "House Edge." Just pay attention to your odds. There are 36 dice combinations. So your odds of winning will be somewhere between 1/36 to 36/36. That's it! If your odds of winning on the next roll are ever 18/36, then you're playing a perfectly fair game with a 50% chance to win/lose. If you can tip the odds to 19/36, or better, then the odds are in your favor. Keep it simple. "House Edge" was never meant to be used by players. It's a metric used by casinos to estimate their expected profit over the long term.

[@wagermethis]

I have argued that point many times

[@marknoble5495]

How is it fair just because you have a 50% chance of winning and 50% chance of losing? A 50% chance to win is only fair if you are getting 1:1 on your money.

[@samueleuresti3]

@@marknoble5495 You're right. But that becomes less of a worry, when you can fix the odds 90% in your favor. Example: If you play $64 Across + $5 Field, you have slightly better than an 83% chance to win. Statistically, you should win at least 8 out of 10 rolls. This is great, because you only need 5 hits to break even. And that leaves 3 rolls available for profits. 😀 Of course, that's assuming that the 7 doesn't come up first. 🤪 But I'll take an 83% wager anyday!

[@baugh3162]

Thank goodness, the house edge just saves them money, money that is not even offered to us.

I usually play the field sparingly. If I hit it, I collect and leave it. Hit it again, I pull it off till I see 2 non-field results in a row. Not scientific, but it seems to work OK for me and I enjoy making the bet.

[@tmasst07]

You're not wrong and the math is spot on... My concerns with videos like this is that so much emphasis is placed on the math or edge versus having fun and staying profitable. I can/would gladly give the casino 100 p\hr if I can make $120-200. The long term math works both ways and as long as your disciplined and have flexibility in your bank roll, you can make decent part time money over 25+ years gaming

How exactly does the long term math work both ways? The casino always has the advantage. Players can win, with short term deviations from probability, but the math only works one way over time.

[@tmasst07]

@@ColorUp same as it does for day traders and investors. You just need discipline and excellent bank roll management. You don't need to beat the casino to be profitable, just great risk management.

Interesting thought. I don’t see them comparable personally, as every bet on dice table has a negative EV. Some stocks clearly have a positive EV. You mentioned decent part time money, which is cool if true. I find most people who tell me this are guesstimating and don’t have trackable data to back this up. But there has yet for anyone to be a professional dice player, where as there are obviously plenty that are professional investors.

Is there a software that can be used to calculate EV/ hour in craps?

has to be some here google it or yahoo it

I play the field if the 2 or 12 pays triple but with money management using the Mini- Martingale system of 1-2-3 with a 20-40% loss limit, once the win goal is reached, I go into excesses and guarantees and plateaus and increase the bets. As my mentor John Patrick says the field isn't chopped steak but it isn't that bad either.

I like to play the Dont Pass 2 come bets and a Dont come bet per shooter but i will wait for 5 no field numbers then play the field with the Martingale Strategy only because can only find $25 tables

[@samuelwilliamsii828]

Wait for 3 or 4 non field numbers. Then martingale up 5-8 times. I have made more money than I have lost. One casino even changed the max bet field. From $2,000 to $500 because of me. That what one of the pit bosses told me.

[@phxsun2001tony]

Every roll is random. The previous numberd do not affect the next roll. You can have 20 non-field number, but the chances of field number coming out next will not change. Blackjack is different. On a single deck game, if you saw four aces came out, no one at the table will get a blackjack during the net round. The card dealt affect the odds of the next round. On craps, each roll is independant. Your system may yield short term gain, but if you try it ling enough, you probably will loose.

Amazing documentary on the Field Bet. I was at a Casino in Canada when they 1st opened a Craps table. I won $1200 Canadian ($950 US) in 8 hours most of that was Field Bets and Big Red. I heard some of the dealers talking about this big shot American - On my next bet I said: "Put $20 on 12 - IT'S a Boat time that hits" LOL - you should have seen their faces: then they all walk away thinking I was just a lucky Canadian. I didn't hit the 12, but it was worth it. :)

Any 7 is the worst bet on the table.

[@vfrazie2]

I'm not saying that's it's not truly the worst bet but at times it can be used in your favor to cover some of your losses when you have a lot of money on the table working. It can act as a hedge...

[@jimklemens5018]

I also have an issue with the 100 rolls per hour that is a pipe dream on a busy table 55-75 per hour is more realistic especially after adding the hop and bonus games to the layout....

I need you to help me understand why this house edge matters. I had a long debate over this and I'm still not convinced. If my 50 dollar hard 6 bet yields me a net profit return over my game time play why do I care what the casino keeps? So far I'm a net positive craps player and I bet the biggest odds on the table. And box numbers. But so many ppl are hung up on how much the house keeps. What am I missing? Why do people feel robbed of the house edge is a high percentage? If I walk up to a table with 500 and walk away with 2,000 I don't really care what I got taxed to play the game.
