The winning odds?

Question

What is the odds of only betting on the field in craps?

Answer 1

In Vegas, 12 pays triple so you have the following

2   -    2

3  -    1

4  --   1

5,6,7,8, -- 0

9 -- 1

10 --1

11 --1

12 --3

So out of 36 rolls, you will lose 20 times and win 16 times but get 19 chips.  So the odds of winning at 19/39 or 48.7%  Chance of losing is 51.3%
