Neg expectation game, of course, but still fun. I managed to win the last 8 times I played. I do a simple parley progression on the Field. If you can find a low limit table where 12s pay triple (2/12 usually pay double, these tables are usually found "off the Strip"), then the odds against you aren't too bad. Not as good as pass/come with odds, but not terrible.
The great thing about Field betting is you get action on every roll. Just don't cheer too loudly when you win on a come out 2/3/12! (for non-crappers that means the Pass better lost on the 2/3 and pushed on 12). Anyway I start small and try to win two in a row. Not too hard on the field. If I lose the first bet in a series, I place the same bet. If I win I leave the winnings. Then if I win the next roll that means I won at least 3X the original bet.
If you lose several times in a row, then start increasing the"starting" bet and look to get two in a row. If you do it like this it is a very slow (at the start) progression so doesn't get as crazy as a standard martingale. Maybe I was just lucky, but time after time just when things where looking bad, I got a 2 or 12 on one of my parley bets and picked up a nice win.
Fun stuff.
