Craps System That Could Spell the Difference
James Green, who is also known as "Ace", a craps system creator organized the course because this is one of the best, if not the best, way to make gamblers realize that craps is also a game of skills more so than poker. Moreover, he created the system because of the proliferation of books on the different casino games and systems which mostly contain strategies of games such as black jack and poker. He likewise emphasized the need to be familiar with craps' basic from its tools to the rules.
Craps uses the dice and this is considered and tagged as one of oldest gambling tool. Research has it that the dice and the games that uses it as a tool can be found also in the ancient world. Some popular figures in history who were also devoted dice players were the Roman Emperors Augustine, Nero and Caligula. These emperors were even recorded to have tried cheating in the game. Another ancient civilization that held records of playing the dice game is India. The epic Mahabharata contained stories about the warriors playing dice and loosing great fortune. Then, found in Egypt was a modern-looking cubical dice which was dated at 600 B.C.
The history of modern craps extends to only 100 years, a lot shorter compared to the history of the dice and other dice games which are almost a thousand years old. Modern craps' immediate predecessor was a game known as Hazard that originated from England. From this original Hazard game, a few new variations of the game were thought of through the years. And these new versions were simpler and faster.
One of these variations is what is referred to as the Table Off game. This became popular in the world of gambling by the end of the 19th century. It was also then that the casino tables and simple layout - with the 6 and 8, the Field, the Win and the Come bets - were introduced. Even with the mentioned developments in the game, the setback is that players could only bet with the dice against the house.
As an answer to this concern, John H. Winn modified and improved the game so that it will be possible for the player to bet right and wrong. He was credited for improving the layout by drawing a space for the Don't Pass bets. This innovation in the game, coupled with the legalization of gambling in the State of Nevada in 1931, made the casino craps even more popular all over the world.
