- Another $30 player could bet $5 on Pass and take $10 odds, then place three numbers other than the point for $5 each. Say the point is six and the Place bets are on four, five, and nine. The six would pay $17, fours are worth $9, and fives and nines $7 each.
- The actual odds of the Field bet are 5 to 4, which is exactly why players are pretty much fond of this kind of craps bet. The payouts for the Field bet are even in case that the numbers 3, 4, 9, 10 or 11 come out after the shooter's roll.
- Although the odds are lower than the other medium odds options, this is still a good choice for players who want craps payouts larger than 1/1. Place Bet - 5 or 9 With only a 4% house edge while paying out.
