Be cunning, play cunning, and learn how to play craps the correct way!
Dice and dice games date back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but modern craps is approximately a century old. Current craps developed from the old Anglo game referred to as Hazard. No one absolutely knows the beginnings of the game, however Hazard is said to have been invented by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, around the 12th century. It is theorized that Sir William’s knights played Hazard amid a blockade on the citadel Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the fortress’s name.
Early French colonists imported the game Hazard to Canada. In the 18th century, when expelled by the English, the French relocated south and discovered refuge in southern Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they were driven out of Acadia, they took their best-loved game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it mathematically fair. It’s said that the Cajuns changed the name to craps, which is acquired from the term for the non-winning throw of two in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi barges and all over the country. A good many think the dice maker John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn built the modern craps layout. He appended the Don’t Pass line so gamblers can wager on the dice to not win. Afterwords, he invented the boxes for Place bets and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
