Be clever, play cunning, and master craps the proper way!
Dice and dice games goes back to the Crusades, but current craps is just about 100 years old. Current craps evolved from the ancient English game called Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the beginnings of the game, but Hazard is said to have been discovered by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, in the 12th century. It’s theorized that Sir William’s paladins gambled on Hazard amid a blockade on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the castle’s name.
Early French settlers imported the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when banished by the English, the French relocated down south and settled in southern Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they took their favorite game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it more mathematically fair. It is believed that the Cajuns adjusted the title to craps, which is gotten from the term for the losing throw of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi barges and across the country. A good many think the dice maker John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn built the modern craps setup. He added the Don’t Pass line so players could wager on the dice to lose. Afterwords, he created the boxes for Place bets and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
