Be cunning, play brilliant, and pickup craps the right way!
Dice and dice games goes all the way back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but current craps is approximately 100 years old. Modern craps come about from the old Anglo game referred to as Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the origin of the game, although Hazard is believed to have been made up by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, sometime in the twelfth century. It is supposed that Sir William’s soldiers gambled on Hazard through a siege on the fortress Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the citadel’s name.
Early French colonizers imported the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when driven away by the British, the French relocated down south and settled in southern Louisiana where they at a later time became known as Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they brought their preferred game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns simplified the game and made it more mathematically fair. It is believed that the Cajuns adjusted the name to craps, which is gotten from the term for the non-winning throw of 2 in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi scows and across the country. A good many acknowledge the dice maker John H. Winn as the founder of modern craps. In the early 1900s, Winn assembled the current craps layout. He created the Do not Pass line so gamblers can bet on the dice to not win. At another time, he developed the boxes for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
