The field bet area is located on the craps table just beyond the don't pass bar. A field bet can be played on any roll, and covers a number of dice totals. The field bet is well liked due primarily to its simplicity. It is a one-roll bet which states simply: if the shooter throws a 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12 (any of the numbers printed in the field area) then the field bet wins. If a 5, 6, 7, or 8 are thrown then the field bet loses. There is no trick to placing your chips on one of the numbers in the field, you can simply place them anywhere within the field area. There is also a double bonus associated with 2 and 12 for the field bet. If 2 or 12 are thrown you are paid 2 to 1 on your original bet.
