Be clever, play cunning, and master craps the ideal way!

Games that use dice and the dice themselves date all the way back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but current craps is approximately a century old. Current craps come about from the old English game referred to as Hazard. No one absolutely knows the ancestry of the game, however Hazard is said to have been made up by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, sometime in the 12th century. It is believed that Sir William’s knights played Hazard during a siege on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was derived from the castle’s name.

Early French colonizers imported the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when exiled by the English, the French relocated down south and found sanctuary in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they brought their favored game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it fair mathematically. It is said that the Cajuns adjusted the title to craps, which is acquired from the name of the bad luck toss of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."

From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi scows and across the nation. Most think the dice builder John H. Winn as the father of modern craps. In the early 1900s, Winn developed the modern craps layout. He put in place the Don’t Pass line so gamblers could bet on the dice to lose. At another time, he designed the boxes for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.

If you decide to use this system you need to have a vast amount of cash and awesome fortitude to walk away when you accrue a tiny success. For the purposes of this article, a figurative buy in of $2,000 is used.

The Horn Bet numbers are surely not looked at as the "winning way to wager" and the horn bet itself has a casino edge of over twelve percent.

All you are wagering is 5 dollars on the pass line and ONE number from the horn. It doesn’t matter if it is a "craps" or "yo" as long as you gamble it at all times. The Yo is more popular with players using this approach for obvious reasons.

Buy in for $2,000 when you approach the table but put only $5.00 on the passline and one dollar on either the two, three, 11, or twelve. If it wins, fantastic, if it loses press to two dollars. If it does not win again, press to $4 and then to $8, then to $16 and after that add a $1.00 each subsequent wager. Every instance you don’t win, bet the previous amount plus one more dollar.

Adopting this system, if for example after 15 tosses, the number you chose (11) has not been tosses, you without doubt should walk away. However, this is what might happen.

On the tenth toss, you have a sum of $126 on the table and the YO finally hits, you amass $315 with a take of $189. Now is a perfect time to walk away as it’s higher than what you entered the game with.

If the YO doesn’t hit until the twentieth toss, you will have a complete investment of $391 and seeing as current bet is at $31, you come away with $465 with your take being $74.

As you can see, adopting this system with just a $1.00 "press," your take becomes tinier the more you bet on without succeeding. This is why you have to march away after a win or you have to wager a "full press" once more and then advance on with the $1.00 boost with each hand.

Crunch the data at home before you attempt this so you are very adept at when this scheme becomes a losing proposition instead of a profitable one.
