Be brilliant, play clever, and become versed in craps the ideal way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves date back to the Crusades, but current craps is approximately one hundred years old. Modern craps developed from the ancient Anglo game referred to as Hazard. No one absolutely knows the birth of the game, although Hazard is said to have been created by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, around the twelfth century. It is supposed that Sir William’s horsemen wagered on Hazard through a siege on the fortress Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was acquired from the fortification’s name.
Early French colonists imported the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 18th century, when expelled by the British, the French relocated down south and settled in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they were driven out of Acadia, they brought their favorite game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it more mathematically fair. It’s believed that the Cajuns altered the title to craps, which is derived from the term for the non-winning toss of two in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi barges and across the country. Many consider the dice builder John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In 1907, Winn designed the modern craps layout. He created the Don’t Pass line so gamblers can wager on the dice to not win. Afterwords, he invented the spots for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
