A FRIEND OF MINE TOLD ME THAT BY BETTING PROGRESSIVELY IN ASCENDING ORDER ON FIELD BETS IS A GOOD WAY TO MAKE MONEY. IS THERE ANY TRUTH TO THAT? IS IT SAFE TO PROGRESSIVELY BET IN ASCENDING ORDER ON FIELD BETS? THE EXAMPLE MY FRIEND GAVE TO ME WAS BETTING THE MINIMUM BET AND DOUBLING THE BET UNTIL YOU WIN AND THEN WHEN YOU WIN, BET THE MINIMUM AND START OVER AGAIN. IS IT SAFE TO BET THIS WAY IN CRAPS?

Hi Bob

You can certainly give this a try if you want to, but the field bet has a high vig (over 5%) and I try to stay clear of it at all times. Putting a progression on it will not help any, and the double as you lose system is full of danger - especially if you hit the table limit. You should stick to low vig bets only. If you must play a progression, you should be increasing your bets when you win and decreasing when you lose.

Good luck,
Larry
