Be cunning, play brilliant, and master craps the right way!
Dice and dice games goes back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but current craps is only about a century old. Current craps evolved from the old Anglo game referred to as Hazard. Nobody knows for certain the beginnings of the game, however Hazard is said to have been created by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, around the twelfth century. It’s presumed that Sir William’s soldiers wagered on Hazard through a siege on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the fortification’s name.
Early French colonists imported the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when exiled by the English, the French moved south and located sanctuary in southern Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they fled Acadia, they brought their favorite game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it mathematically fair. It is believed that the Cajuns altered the name to craps, which was gotten from the name of the bad luck toss of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi barges and across the nation. A good many acknowledge the dice maker John H. Winn as the father of current craps. In 1907, Winn developed the modern craps layout. He put in place the Do not Pass line so players could bet on the dice to lose. Afterwords, he invented the spots for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
