Dice and dice games go back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but current craps is only about one hundred years old. Modern day craps developed from the archaic English game named Hazard. No one is certain of the origin of the game, but Hazard is considered to have been created by the British man, Sir William of Tyre, in the 12th century. It’s rumored that Sir William’s knights gambled on Hazard during a siege on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was derived from the fortification’s name.

Early French colonizers imported the game Hazard to French North America (the colony of Acadia, which is now Nova Scotia). In the 18th century, when exiled by the English, the French relocated south and happen upon refuge in southern Louisiana where they eventually became known as Cajuns. When they left Nova Scotia, they brought their preferred game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns simplified the dice game and developed it to be more statistically attractive. It’s stated that the Cajuns altered the name of the game to craps, which was developed from the term for the non-winning toss of two in the dice game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."

From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi river boats and all over the union. Many consider the dice maker John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn created the modern craps table design. He included the Do not Pass line so gamblers could wager on the shooter to lose. Later, he created the boxes for Place wagers and added the Big 6, Big eight, and Hardways.

Craps Web Betting

[ English ]

This little essay looks to quickly cover a few of the possible bets when betting on Craps internet. It’s important to remember that it is possible to make a bet in craps, even if you’re not the tosser.

Types of Craps Net Wagers:

1) Pass Line Wager: This, also referred to as the "Front Line", and is by far the highly favored and simplest wager in craps in that you bet that the tosser wins his game. This wager can be placed at any time but is normally laid prior to the "Come Out" roll. A gambler wins on this roll if the first roll is either a seven or eleven, and squanders if a 2, 3 or 12 is tossed.

2) Don’t Pass Wager: This is exactly the converse of the above, because you bet the tosser does not win his game. This bet is also known as the "Back Line".

3) Odds Bet: When the tosser establishes the point in the "Come Out" toss, you will make an odds bet as an option to your Pass Line or don’t Pass wager. In this bet the betting house has absolutely no advantage because you do not bet against it. Basically you enhance your "Pass" or "Don’t Pass" bet.

4) Come Bet: The "Come Wager" functions precisely like the "Pass Line" bet, but you lay the wager after the point is made. The following throw becomes the "Come Out" roll for your wager. A "Come Bet" will be the winner with 7 or 11 and does not win with two, three or twelve. All other numbers rolled cause your wager to be relocated to that particular number. For you to succeed, the point has to be rolled again before a 7 is rolled.

5) Hardways: A 4 4 is known as a Hard 4, a 5 5 as a Hard 5 etc. Collectively, all these doubles are referred to as the "Hardways". This is a laid wager on one of the doubles, 2 2, three’s, 4 4 and five’s.

Through out your craps-wagering experience, you’ll likely have more losing sessions than successful times. Accept it. You must understand how to compete in the real world, not in fantasy land. Craps is constructed for the gambler to not win.

Say, after two hours, the ivories have whittled your chips down to twenty dollars. You have not observed a smokin’ hot toss in a long time. Even though not winning is as much a part of craps as being victorious, you can’t help but feel lousy. You wonder why you even bothered coming to las vegas to start with. You were a rock for 2 hours, but it didn’t work. You want to succeed so badly that you fritter away control of your clear thinking. You’re down to your final $20 for the night and you have absolutely no fight left. Leave!

You must never capitulate, never bow out, never believe, "This is aweful, I am going to put the remainder on the Hard 4 and, if I lose, then I will head out. However if I win, I’ll be back where I began." That’s the stupidest thing you can do at the conclusion of a losing day.

If you can’t accept losing, you have no reason to be placing wagers. If you cannot stomach losing a distinct session, then bail out of that game and take your money. Don’t throw your $$$$ away on a terrible bet looking to hit it big and win your $$$$ back all at once.

If it is a horrible game and you are deprived of a lot swiftly, then acknowledge defeat and take your money with the 10 dollars, 15 dollars, or twenty dollars that you have remaining. Take that leftover twenty dollars, have a beverage in the cocktail lounge, listen to the live music. Put it in a nickel video poker game and perhaps get a 1,000-coin jackpot for 50 dollars. Place it in your pocket, locate your significant other, and spend some time with them. Don’t give up. Do something other than piss your cash away on a losing proposition bet. Don’t toss in the towel.

If the payout for a Do not Pass Odds bet equals the amt. of the Flat wager, then the Odds wager is bridged. The part of your Odds bet that’s equal to the Flat bet is positioned exactly beside to the Flat wager. Then, the remainder of the Odds wager is put on top "bridging" them. As an example, suppose you make a 5 dollar Don’t Pass bet and the shooter tosses a point of eight. Knowing the true odds for the eight are six:five (i.e., 6 ways to roll a 7, and five ways to make an eight), you then place 6 dollars in Odds with the expectation of winning $5. In this instance, if you win the $6 Odds bet, you win five dollars, which exactly equals the amount you earn with your 5 dollar Flat wager. Therefore, since your Flat bet and Odds bet win the same amt. ($5 each), you bridge your $6 Odds bet by laying a $5 chip exactly beside to your $5 Flat wager, and then putting the $1 chip so it bridges the two $5 chips.

If the payout for a Don’t Pass Odds bet doesn’t equal the amount of the Flat wager, then the Odds wager is heeled. This basically means you position the bottom chip of your Odds bet chip stack exactly beside to your Flat wager. Then, put all remaining Odds bet chips on top of that single chip but to the side and leaning on that first chip (your Odds bet chip stack is crooked because it is angled on the bottom chip).

Befuddled? That is ok, do not get nervous. The dealer is always ready to help if you don’t remember. After a few times, it all makes sense. It won’t take too long before you are a master. If you’re not sure what to do the first instance you try it, simply say to the dealer, "I would like to lay some Odds but I don’t comprehend if it really should be bridged or heeled." The croupier asks, "How much do you want to place?" Let’s assume you say, "Fifteen dollars to win 10." The dealer will request that you place your chips on the craps table (croupiers are not permitted to accept anything, above all chips, directly from a gambler), and then he correctly heels or bridges them based on the amount of your Flat bet. You’ll quickly get the hang of it. Just don’t be scared to ask the dealer questions. His job is just to deal, but also to be friendly and assist the competitors.

My favourite people at the craps table are the true gents from the good old days. These elderly gentlemen are ordinarily patient, mostly kind and will almost always share tricks from the "good ole days."

There are many different characters that you’ll see around a busy Craps table. When you jump in and determine to participate in the game, be sure you utilize good etiquette.
