Be smart, play cunning, and master craps the correct way!
Dice and dice games goes back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but current craps is just about 100 years old. Modern craps developed from the 12th Century Anglo game referred to as Hazard. No one knows for certain the birth of the game, however Hazard is believed to have been made up by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, in the twelfth century. It is presumed that Sir William’s horsemen enjoyed Hazard amid a blockade on the fortress Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the fortification’s name.
Early French colonists brought the game Hazard to Nova Scotia. In the 18th century, when driven away by the British, the French headed south and settled in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they took their best-loved game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it fair mathematically. It is believed that the Cajuns altered the title to craps, which was derived from the name of the non-winning toss of two in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi barges and all over the country. A great many think the dice builder John H. Winn as the creator of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn created the current craps layout. He created the Do not Pass line so gamblers can bet 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.
