Be cunning, play brilliant, and pickup craps the proper way!
Dice and dice games date all the way back to the Crusades, but current craps is only about one hundred years old. Modern craps come about from the old Anglo game called Hazard. Nobody knows for certain the origin of the game, although Hazard is believed to have been made up by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, around the twelfth century. It’s supposed that Sir William’s horsemen wagered on Hazard amid a blockade on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was derived from the castle’s name.
Early French colonists brought the game Hazard to Nova Scotia. In the 1700s, when exiled by the British, the French headed down south and discovered refuge in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they were driven out of Acadia, they took their preferred game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it more mathematically fair. It’s believed that the Cajuns adjusted the title to craps, which is gotten from the term for the losing toss of two in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi scows and all over the nation. A great many consider the dice builder John H. Winn as the creator of current craps. In 1907, Winn designed the modern craps layout. He put in place the Don’t Pass line so players can bet on the dice to lose. Later, he developed the boxes for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
