Is the Field bet a good bet?

A one-roll bet that wins on 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 or 12.

The short answerIt looks like 7 winning numbers vs 4, but the losing numbers come up more often. 2.78% edge where 12 pays triple, 5.56% where it pays double. Fine in small doses, and it adds up fast because it resolves every roll.

How it works

The Field wins if the next roll is 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 or 12. Most pay even money; the 2 pays double and the 12 pays double or triple, depending on the casino. It loses on 5, 6, 7 and 8, the four most common totals.

How we tested it

Dice from a cryptographic random generator, standard Vegas payouts, and 1,000,000+ trials per bet. For everyday bets the simulated edge lands within a fraction of a percent of the exact math. Bets with rare jackpots (like a 999:1 Fire Bet) swing more from run to run, so we quote the exact house edge alongside the simulated one.
