Be clever, play smart, and pickup craps the ideal way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves date back to the Crusades, but modern craps is approximately one hundred years old. Current craps developed from the ancient English game referred to as Hazard. No one absolutely knows the origin of the game, although Hazard is said to have been made up by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, sometime in the twelfth century. It is presumed that Sir William’s knights played Hazard amid a siege on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was derived from the castle’s name.
Early French colonizers brought the game Hazard to Nova Scotia. In the 1700s, when driven away by the English, the French relocated south and found safety in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they fled Acadia, they brought their favorite game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it more mathematically fair. It’s said that the Cajuns altered the title to craps, which was derived from the name of the non-winning toss of 2 in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi barges and throughout the country. A great many think the dice builder John H. Winn as the father of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn assembled the modern craps setup. He created the Do not Pass line so players can wager on the dice to lose. Afterwords, he invented the spaces for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
