Be brilliant, play brilliant, and master craps the ideal way!
Dice and dice games date all the way back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but current craps is only about a century old. Modern craps formed from the 12th Century English game called Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the ancestry of the game, however Hazard is believed to have been made up by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, in the 12th century. It is believed that Sir William’s soldiers wagered on Hazard during a blockade on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the citadel’s name.
Early French colonists brought the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when displaced by the English, the French moved down south and found safety in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they were driven out of Acadia, they brought their best-loved game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns modernized the game and made it fair mathematically. It’s believed that the Cajuns altered the title to craps, which is derived from the term for the bad luck throw of two in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi riverboats and across the country. A few consider the dice maker John H. Winn as the father of current craps. In 1907, Winn assembled the current craps setup. He created the Don’t Pass line so players can bet on the dice to not win. Later, he established the spaces for Place wagers and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
