# The Red Cross

### The Setup

| Number | Amount                              | Net per Win |
| ------ | ----------------------------------- | ----------- |
| 5      | $25                                 | $19         |
| 6      | $30                                 | $19         |
| 8      | $30                                 | $19         |
| Field  | $10                                 | $30         |
| Horn   | <p>$6<br>($1 - 3/11, $2 - 2/12)</p> | $24-$26     |

### **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.&#x20;
  * That 2nd win nets $30
  * Regress back to 1 unit
* Should you hit the 2 or 12 (paying double/triple)
  * Press 1 unit&#x20;
  * Rack the excess

{% hint style="info" %}
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.
