What's my edge in craps?

Frankly, why spend $44 on the field, 5, 6 and 8 when for the same $44 you can bet 5, 6, 8, 9 which give you a better chance of winning. And if you're the shooter there is a strong likelihood your point will be a 5, 6, 8 or 9 which means you'll save $10 or $12.

I have seen people play the way eddie suggests. It's definitely not for me and I never saw any of them win. I would never risk a lot to make a little. It's like the bridge jumpers at the track. In fact the track was all abuzz because the other day a guy came in with $136,000 cash and made a show bet. He did win. I'll let all you math guys figure out how many in a row he has to win if he has one loss. Hint--you win ten cents on the dollar.

I've only ever bet like that at the beginning of some of the casino sponsored craps tournaments

I only suggested it to Alan because he says he has a high SRR.

What makes you think you'll ever hit a 2 or 12 when betting the field? Every other number is an even money return.

This just seems contradictory to me.

At first you say you win betting the Small/Tall/All when you need to hit at least 5 numbers (including a 2, 12 or both) but then you sound like it's difficult to roll them when you are betting the Field.
