Be brilliant, play smart, and become versed in craps the ideal way!
Dice and dice games goes back to the Crusades, but modern craps is approximately a century old. Current craps come about from the 12th Century Anglo game referred to as Hazard. No one knows for sure the birth of the game, but Hazard is said to have been created by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, around the twelfth century. It is believed that Sir William’s knights bet on Hazard during a siege on the fortress Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the fortification’s name.
Early French colonizers brought the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 18th century, when driven away by the English, the French relocated south and found safety in southern Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they took their favorite game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it more mathematically fair. It’s said that the Cajuns altered the name to craps, which was derived from the term for the losing throw of 2 in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi riverboats and throughout the nation. A few acknowledge the dice maker John H. Winn as the father of modern craps. In the early 1900s, Winn created the current craps setup. He created the Don’t Pass line so players can bet on the dice to not win. Afterwords, he established the spaces for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
