Be brilliant, play clever, and learn how to play craps the right way!

Games that use dice and the dice themselves date back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but current craps is only about a century old. Modern craps evolved from the ancient English game referred to as Hazard. No one absolutely knows the ancestry of the game, however Hazard is believed to have been made up by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, around the twelfth century. It is believed that Sir William’s horsemen bet on Hazard amid a siege on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the citadel’s name.

Early French settlers imported the game Hazard to Canada. In the 18th century, when banished by the British, the French headed south and settled in southern Louisiana where they at a later time became Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they took their favorite game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns simplified the game and made it more mathematically fair. It is believed that the Cajuns adjusted the title to craps, which is acquired from the name of the losing toss of 2 in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."

From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi scows and across the country. A good many consider the dice maker John H. Winn as the founder of modern craps. In the early 1900s, Winn developed the modern craps setup. He appended the Do not Pass line so gamblers could wager on the dice to lose. At another time, he established the boxes for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.

If you consider using this system you need to have a vast pocket book and remarkable discipline to march away when you earn a small success. For the benefit of this material, a figurative buy in of two thousand dollars is used.

The Horn Bet numbers are not always looked at as the "successful way to play" and the horn bet itself carries a house advantage well over twelve percent.

All you are wagering is $5 on the pass line and ONE number from the horn. It doesn’t matter if it’s a "craps" or "yo" as long as you wager it constantly. The Yo is more popular with players using this system for obvious reasons.

Buy in for two thousand dollars when you join the table but only put five dollars on the passline and one dollar on either the 2, three, 11, or twelve. If it wins, great, if it does not win press to $2. If it does not win again, press to four dollars and continue on to $8, then to sixteen dollars and after that add a $1.00 each subsequent bet. Each instance you lose, bet the previous value plus a further dollar.

Using this approach, if for example after 15 rolls, the number you bet on (11) hasn’t been tosses, you probably should walk away. However, this is what might develop.

On the tenth toss, you have a total of one hundred and twenty six dollars in the game and the YO at long last hits, you gain $315 with a take of $189. Now is an excellent time to march away as it’s more than what you joined the table with.

If the YO does not hit until the 20th roll, you will have a complete bet of $391 and seeing as current bet is at $31, you win $465 with your profit of $74.

As you can see, adopting this approach with only a one dollar "press," your gain becomes smaller the more you wager on without winning. That is why you have to walk away after a win or you have to bet a "full press" once more and then advance on with the one dollar mark up with each roll.

Carefully go over the numbers before you try this so you are very familiar at when this system becomes a losing adventure instead of a profitable one.
