The background of Craps dates back to a dice game referred to as Hazard, which dates back to Bernard de Mandeville in New Orleans in Early 1800’s. Hazard is thought to be a byproduct of Azzahr, meaning ‘the die’ a game played by Arabs.

The game developed as it traveled from the Arab territories to France and then England. By the early 18th century, formal established rules for Hazard had been established. France started playing the English version of Hazard and is believed to have been imported to the us by early French colonizers. In the mid-Eighteenth century, when the English defeated the French in Canada, the French colonists moved to Louisiana. Dice were enjoyed on river boats, clubs and wharfs and a streamlined ‘US’ variation of Craps was developed. The game headed west and is a favored game that is competed in all over the United States and throughout the planet.

The name ‘Craps’ is theorized to be a French enunciation of the term crabs, which refers to two ones. There are two basic varieties of Craps that are bet on-street Craps and bank Craps. Street caps, aptly named because it is bet on the streets is where a shooter establishes a point and then attempts to make that point. The betting is made either with or against the hurler and another player must cover the wager in order for the game of craps to go on.

Craps

Craps appears like a abstract game, and it can be, but you don’t have to know all of the rules to participate in it well and receive a good return. If you stick with the common bets with a low casino edge and do not bet when you aren’t certain what it is you’re wagering on and its odds.

By betting on the pass line and buying odds you can bet with virtually no house edge. This almost makes the phrase ‘gamble’ wrong if you really think it over.

Pass Line

The game begins by placing a wager on either Pass or Do not Pass before the first toss. If a 7 or 11 is rolled 1st you come away with a win and two, three, or 12 will result in you loosing if you bet on pass. The opposite is valid if you place a bet on Do not Pass. With the exception of twelve is a push if you cast a bet Don’t Pass. Just about everyone lay money on Pass, so if you choose Don’t Pass, don’t attract recognition to yourself, especially if you come away with a win. If you win that means everyone else just lost, and are not going to take kindly to boasting. Should any number other than two, 3, 7, eleven or 12 be tossed first, that number becomes the point. Do not wager on the Pass line following the Come Out toss, it’s legal, but the odds are against you.

Buying the Odds

In order to take control of the betting with almost no casino edge, you must at first place a bet on the Pass Line. Next you will be able to bet a multiple (depending on the betting house) of your Pass wager that the point will be rolled prior to a seven. dependent on the number of the point, you can come away with up to 2:1.

Betting along these basic lines will give you with honest chance of becoming a success. Add the thrills that the craps always appears to deliver and the only way to lose is not to play.
