Internet Craps
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.
