Be cunning, play brilliant, and become versed in craps the correct way!
Dice and dice games goes all the way back to the Crusades, but modern craps is just about a century old. Current craps formed from the old Anglo game called Hazard. No one absolutely knows the beginnings of the game, however Hazard is believed to have been made up by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, sometime in the twelfth century. It’s supposed that Sir William’s knights wagered on Hazard during a siege on the fortress Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the fortress’s name.
Early French settlers brought the game Hazard to Nova Scotia. In the 18th century, when displaced by the British, the French relocated down south and located safety in southern Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they took their favorite game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns simplified the game and made it mathematically fair. It is said that the Cajuns changed the title to craps, which was gotten from the name of the losing toss of 2 in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi riverboats and all over the nation. A great many think the dice maker John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn developed the current craps setup. He created the Do not Pass line so gamblers can wager on the dice to lose. At another time, he invented the spots for Place bets and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
