Be smart, play brilliant, and master craps the proper way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves goes all the way back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but current craps is just about a century old. Current craps formed from the ancient English game called Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the ancestry of the game, although Hazard is believed to have been created by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, in the twelfth century. It is believed that Sir William’s paladins gambled on Hazard during a blockade on the fortress Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was acquired from the fortress’s name.
Early French settlers brought the game Hazard to Nova Scotia. In the 1700s, when banished by the British, the French relocated south and located safety in southern Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they were driven out of Acadia, they took their preferred game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it mathematically fair. It’s believed that the Cajuns altered the name to craps, which was gotten from the term for the non-winning throw of 2 in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi scows and throughout the country. Many think the dice maker John H. Winn as the creator of modern craps. In 1907, Winn built the modern craps layout. He appended the Do not Pass line so gamblers can wager on the dice to lose. At another time, he developed the spots for Place bets and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
