Be cunning, play smart, and become versed in craps the right way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves goes back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but current craps is approximately 100 years old. Current craps developed from the old Anglo game called Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the origin of the game, however Hazard is said to have been created by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, around the 12th century. It’s believed that Sir William’s horsemen enjoyed Hazard during a siege on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the citadel’s name.
Early French colonists brought the game Hazard to Nova Scotia. In the 1700s, when exiled by the British, the French headed south and found safety in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they took their preferred game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it fair mathematically. It is believed that the Cajuns changed the name to craps, which was gotten from the name of the bad luck throw of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi river boats and across the country. A great many acknowledge the dice maker John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn created the current craps setup. He created the Don’t Pass line so players could wager on the dice to lose. Later, he developed the spaces for Place bets and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
