I am curious, which bets 'ride' by default and which do not? Clearly, Come and Don't Come bets do not. The wizard says Place bets and Proposition bets generally ride. What about Field bets? What about Pass Line bets that roll 7 or 11 on the come out roll? Does it vary by casino? If so, how do most Vegas Casinos do it? Just looking for a little clarification. Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to answer.

Welcome to the forum!
Come bets 'riding' actually depend on a couple of different factors. If a come bet hits while another one is out there waiting to travel to a number, it will get paid "off and on"--basically the dealer just hands off the payment to the player instead of going through the whole process of bringing the bet down and setting it back up--saves a bit of time. If the bet hits and is just 'off,' a good dealer will leave $10 (or however much the player was betting in the Come) out of the payout in the Come and hand the rest off to him. So it's not really "riding" in the traditional sense, but it is constant action.
Generally, the bets that get resolved after 1 roll on the base dealer's side--i.e. the Field, Pass/Don't Pass and Come/Don't Come after a 2/3/7/11/12 rolls--are "self-service." Once they win or lose, it's the player's responsibility to reset them or pick up their winnings, as the case may be. Of course this is flexible depending on whether the player in question is tipping.
