Be cunning, play brilliant, and master craps the correct way!

Games that use dice and the dice themselves date all the way back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but modern craps is approximately a century old. Modern craps evolved from the ancient Anglo game called Hazard. Nobody knows for certain the ancestry of the game, although Hazard is said to have been discovered by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, in the twelfth century. It’s theorized that Sir William’s soldiers wagered on Hazard during a siege on the fortress Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was acquired from the fortification’s name.

Early French colonizers brought the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 1700s, when expelled by the English, the French moved south and settled in the south of Louisiana where they at a later time became Cajuns. When they fled Acadia, they took their favorite game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it fair mathematically. It is said that the Cajuns changed the title to craps, which is derived from the name of the non-winning throw of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."

From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi river boats and all over the nation. A few consider the dice maker John H. Winn as the creator of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn assembled the modern craps layout. He appended the Don’t Pass line so players could bet on the dice to not win. Later, he created the spaces for Place wagers and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.

If you consider using this system you must have a very big pocket book and superior fortitude to leave when you earn a tiny win. For the purposes of this story, a figurative buy in of $2,000 is used.

The Horn Bet numbers are surely not judged the "winning way to compete" and the horn bet itself carries a casino advantage of over twelve percent.

All you are betting is five dollars on the pass line and ONE number from the horn. It does not matter whether it’s a "craps" or "yo" as long as you play it at all times. The Yo is more popular with gamblers using this approach for obvious reasons.

Buy in for two thousand dollars when you approach the table but only put five dollars on the passline and one dollar on either the two, 3, eleven, or 12. If it wins, great, if it loses press to $2. If it loses again, press to four dollars and then to $8, then to $16 and following that add a $1.00 every subsequent bet. Every time you lose, bet the previous amount plus an additional dollar.

Adopting this system, if for instance after fifteen tosses, the number you selected (11) has not been tosses, you really should go away. Although, this is what might happen.

On the tenth roll, you have a total of $126 in the game and the YO finally hits, you earn three hundred and fifteen dollars with a profit of $189. Now is a great time to march away as it is a lot more than what you joined the table with.

If the YO doesn’t hit until the twentieth roll, you will have a complete investment of $391 and because your current wager is at $31, you amass $465 with your profit of $74.

As you can see, using this system with only a $1.00 "press," your profit margin becomes tinier the more you play on without hitting. That is why you have to walk away after a win or you should bet a "full press" again and then continue on with the $1.00 increase with each roll.

Crunch some numbers at home before you try this so you are very familiar at when this system becomes a losing proposition rather than a profitable one.
