Be smart, play smart, and pickup craps the ideal way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves goes back to the Crusades, but modern craps is approximately one hundred years old. Current craps developed from the old English game referred to as Hazard. No one knows for sure the origin of the game, however Hazard is said to have been discovered by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, around the twelfth century. It is believed that Sir William’s knights wagered on Hazard through a blockade on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the fortress’s name.
Early French settlers imported the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 18th century, when exiled by the British, the French headed down south and settled in southern Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they were driven out of Acadia, they brought their preferred game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns modernized the game and made it more mathematically fair. It is said that the Cajuns changed the title to craps, which is derived from the name of the non-winning toss of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi barges and across the country. Most acknowledge the dice builder John H. Winn as the founder of modern craps. In 1907, Winn assembled the current craps layout. He put in place the Do not Pass line so players can bet on the dice to not win. Afterwords, he developed the boxes for Place wagers and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
