I have little use for the Field bet except to use it to fund Place bets. Occasionally when Field numbers are streaking I'll play the ABS strategy and parlay my Field wins to box numbers I don't have Placed or use the wins to press the Five, Six, and Eight. But that's about the extent of my use for the Field - other than for growing tomatoes and okra.

In Las Vegas the Pit Crew will toss you out and probably ban you from the Casino if you attempt to grow okra in their field. Personally, we love okra and home grown tomatoes here in Sacramento, CA.

But I bet there are some other crops you could plant in the field that would make you lots of friends with the pit crew. After all, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, especially since you can't take any extra back on the plane ride home.

Has anyone used the 31 system on the field?

Brings a whole new meaning to toke the dealer.

Not sure I've heard that one before. What are the details?

It's a VERY old negative progressions system that used to be sold in gambling magazines for lots of money. It requires 31 units and it is typically played on even money bets. I guess the advantage on playing it in the Field is that you'd win double on the 2 or 12 - or in the right game triple on the 12. But you also lose more times then you win thanks to the 5, 6, 8 and (of course) the 7.
The system requires 31 "units" to play. If you're playing at the $10 level you'd need $310 for your bankroll. There's a specific betting progression you have to follow. The bet series is $10, $10, $10, $20, $20, $40, $40, $80, $80. If you added all of those number up you'd see that add up to $310. If you lost all nine of those bets without a win your session would be over. Stick a fork in you. Enjoy your time in the Keno lounge.
Here's the basic play. You make a $10 bet in the Field. If you lose it you make another. Lose it? Make another. Continue the progression for six bets as follows: $10, $10, $10, $20, $20, and $40, so you're down $110. Next you bet $40 and win! Hooray! You're playing in Heavy's Perfect World Casino. So your next bet is $80 and you win this bet also so you stop the progression and start over with a $10 bet because you won two in a row ($40 + $80). You've lost six bets in a row and won only the last two, but you're still ahead by $10 ($120-$110). In that respect it is not unlike a Fibonacci progression - it's just another way of getting there. A Fibo would have had you play $10, $10, $20, $30, $50, $80 and if you'd lost all six bets your next bet would have been $130. However, at any point if you'd had a win you'd have just stopped at that level and "same bet" is for two wins in a row to win one unit. Again, different approaches to the same end.

I merged it with the bucket bet (31-36, center dz , 1-6) on a roulette slot, it worked good for about two or three months, then went south, and I got stupid chasing my losses. with the 31-36, 1-6 paying 5:1, an the dz doing a push, it could take a while. Only got to the 8 level a few time, quitting when I was ahead 20 or 30 bucks. I had the idea of trying it on the field, but since good and bad ideas cost me the same, decided this one was worth what I paid for it. Hmm just had a thought, Hop bets or other prop bets better look at BT

Thanks Heavy. Sounds like some sort of combination between a Fibo and martingale. Not my cup of tea.

22inside, Funny this is I agree with you, but I found that having a structure forced me to focus, and reinforced my discpline, which has always been my biggest problem. I found the same thing when I was buying in on a short buy-in with goal of only shooting one hand, sticking to my plan in betting on others while waiting for the dice. As long as I stuck to the plan, things went fine, when I didn't, I would get sucked in a start being stupid.
I throw a good number of Yo's, setting aside 31 bucks to go after them and stopping after the first hit, might work. If I knew that I threw the same dice faces back to back, a hop bet when I think I am heading that way, might work as well. Trying it out???? don't know
