Nina: Field every roll, a craps strategy

How Nina plays

Every roll, come-out or not, Nina bets the Field. She also keeps a Pass Line bet going, but the Field is her game.

The Field is a one-roll bet. It wins on 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 and 12, with a bonus on the 2 and 12, and loses on 5, 6, 7 and 8. Win or lose, it’s settled on the next throw.

Why people like it

It’s simple, it’s fast, and it looks like it covers most of the numbers: seven of the eleven totals win.

The catch

The four numbers it loses on are the four that roll most: 5, 6, 7 and 8 come up 20 times in 36. That’s where the 2.78% edge comes from. And because Nina bets every single roll, she pays it far more often than a player whose bets wait for a number.

The share of each bet the house keeps over the long run. Odds bets pay true odds, so they have none. How house edge works.

A sample hand

One shooter's hand at a $10 table with 3-4-5 odds. Every regular plays the same dice, so you can compare them. These are the bets Nina really makes: the table's own bot and payout rules played it. Play money.
