The Base Win Amounts

On a 5, 6, or 8, you will net $19

  • $35 win for the number being rolled, but ...

  • $10 Loss in Field

  • $6 loss on the Horn

2 or 12: Net will be $25

  • $30 win for the number being rolled

  • $5 loss from the 3, 11, and the 2/12

3 or 11: Net will be $26 from the horn

  • $30 win for the number being rolled

  • $4 loss from the 2, 12, and the 3/11

Field: Net target should be $30

  • On any 1 unit bet, press.

    • That 2nd win nets $30

    • Regress back to 1 unit

  • Should you hit the 2 or 12 (paying double/triple)

    • Press 1 unit

    • Rack the excess

As with any "right side" strategy, working your bets on every roll is an option. You're always fighting the 7, and if you're not making a play on the point with a line bet, that decision is really driven by your personal risk tolerance.
