Odds Game Craps
Craps is the well known casino game of dice, it is developed from Hazard, a game from the 14th century, that was once popular between high-stakes patrons in English gambling houses. The name "Craps" comes from the nickname "Crabs", which is a roll of 1-1 in Hazard. The modern game of Craps was developed by black Mississippi riverboat gamblers in the 19th century, borrowing heavily from the rules of Hazard. Craps is fast, exciting and immensely popular, and the game has long been a favorite target of anti-gambling forces. Craps undoubtedly is responsible for many fortunes changing hands at dice tables in glitzy casinos, back rooms and alleys. It may even be guilty of something a little more serious: the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Popular history names Mrs. O'Leary's cow as the culprit, having kicked over a lantern in the barn, sparking the conflagration which destroyed much of Chicago. A Chicago businessman named Louis Cohn claimed, years later, to have knocked over the lantern himself during an especially exciting game of Craps, then laid the blame on the heifer. He was particularly remorseful, he said, because "I was winning." At first glance, Craps can be intimidating. There are numerous bets that can be made, and some of the terminology seems complicated, but the small amount of effort it takes to learn the game is well worth it. Many casino patrons consider Craps to be the game. Nothing in a casino generates as much excitement as a hot roll at the Craps tables. The game of craps has a long, colorful history and is still going strong.

There are many system hustlers in Las Vegas right now, pushing their plans on unsuspecting gamers like ourselves. For example, I could show you how placing the red and two far columns covers almost all of the board. With this setup you're in a good position to make a hit on almost every spin. The only numbers not covered are the six blacks in the first column. The problem is, you'll end up losing more on your losing bets than you'll recover from your winning bets, in the long run. Most systems are the same, intriguing at first, but disappointing in the long run. Systems are by far the biggest way gamblers try to beat roulette, and it is likely the worst approach. The simple mathematics behind the game must convince a large number of players that the edge is somehow subject to influence, but it is the simple math that makes it just not so. The only way to beat roulette is to either develop a good way to cheat (read, take advantage of any unintentional casino mistakes - or develop a highly sophisticated team cheating setup) or get lucky.Since we don't have much control over the latter variable, maybe we can look at the first. The idea of cheating a Las Vegas casino may not be on first on most people's list of favorite things to do, but everybody is a bit curious about how it could realistically be accomplished. Roulette is one of those games that gives the occasional opportunity.The most exploitable opportunity to beat roulette by cheating the casino is to learn how to identify a dealer's signature. The idea of a dealer's signature is that the roulette dealer may become so methodical in their actions, that they throw the marble with the same intensity on each spin. Granted the intensity and spin of the marble as it leaves the dealer's hands is only one variable in many that contribute to where it comes to rest, but if it is isolated there may be a pattern that emerges. This pattern is your best bet to beat roulette.There are a number of players worldwide who firmly believe they have encountered a dealer's signature, if only for one night. To try and identify a signature, discreetly stand in a position where you can see the ball leave the dealers hand. Take note of where it is on the wheel when it exits. Then pay attention to where to ball lands (taking note of any extremely random bouncy balls, exclude those from your experiment) Specifically try to measure how far around the wheel the ball has traveled. For each spin see if it has traveled around approximately the same amount each time. If it has you may identify a small pocket of numbers in one corner of the wheel that the dealer hits consistently, relative to where they let the marble go. Perhaps a dealer will consistently have the ball land three quarters of the way around the wheel from where it is let go. You simply watch until the dealer let the ball go, then you place bets on the group of numbers that fall that far around thewheel.
