Be brilliant, play smart, and master craps the ideal way!
Dice and dice games goes back to the Crusades, but modern craps is approximately a century old. Current craps evolved from the old English game referred to as Hazard. No one knows for certain the beginnings of the game, although Hazard is said to have been made up by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, around the twelfth century. It’s believed that Sir William’s knights enjoyed Hazard during a blockade on the fortress Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was acquired from the fortress’s name.
Early French colonizers imported the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 1700s, when expelled by the English, the French headed down south and settled in southern Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they brought their favored game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it fair mathematically. It’s believed that the Cajuns changed the title to craps, which is gotten from the name of the losing throw of 2 in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi barges and throughout the country. A great many consider the dice builder John H. Winn as the father of current craps. In 1907, Winn built the current craps setup. He created the Don’t Pass line so players can wager on the dice to not win. At another time, he designed the spaces for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
