A field bet in craps occurs when a player places a bet on a single roll of the dice.

If you roll a 3, 4, 9, 10, or 11, you win your bet
If you roll a 2, you win twice your bet
If you roll a 12, you win three times your bet
If you roll a 5, 6, 7,or 8 you lose your bet.

For each roll you're rolling two dice, so "rolling a 7" means any combination of dice that adds to 7. Also, when you "win" your bet, you are always given back the original amount you bet, plus additional earnings.
