Be smart, play cunning, and master craps the right way!
Dice and dice games date all the way back to the Crusades, but current craps is only about 100 years old. Current craps formed from the old Anglo game referred to as Hazard. No one knows for certain the beginnings of the game, but Hazard is believed to have been made up by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, sometime in the twelfth century. It is presumed that Sir William’s knights enjoyed Hazard during a blockade on the citadel Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the citadel’s name.
Early French colonists brought the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when driven away by the British, the French relocated down south and discovered sanctuary in southern Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they brought their favored game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns modernized the game and made it more mathematically fair. It’s believed that the Cajuns altered the title to craps, which was gotten from the name of the bad luck throw of two in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi riverboats and all over the country. A good many consider the dice maker John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In 1907, Winn assembled the current craps layout. He added the Don’t Pass line so gamblers can wager on the dice to not win. Afterwords, he created the spots for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
