Be cunning, play cunning, and learn how to play craps the right way!
Dice and dice games date back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but modern craps is only about one hundred years old. Modern craps evolved from the ancient Anglo game referred to as Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the beginnings of the game, although Hazard is believed to have been made up by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, sometime in the twelfth century. It’s theorized that Sir William’s knights played Hazard amid a siege on the fortress Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the citadel’s name.
Early French colonists imported the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when banished by the English, the French moved south and settled in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they fled Acadia, they took their best-loved game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it fair mathematically. It’s believed that the Cajuns altered the title to craps, which was gotten from the term for the bad luck throw of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi barges and all over the country. A great many consider the dice maker John H. Winn as the creator of modern craps. In the early 1900s, Winn assembled the current craps setup. He created the Do not Pass line so gamblers can bet on the dice to not win. Afterwords, he invented the spots for Place bets and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
