Be clever, play cunning, and become versed in craps the proper way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves date back to the Crusades, but modern craps is approximately 100 years old. Modern craps come about from the old Anglo game referred to as Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the birth of the game, although Hazard is said to have been invented by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, around the twelfth century. It’s theorized that Sir William’s paladins gambled on Hazard through a siege on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the citadel’s name.
Early French settlers imported the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when expelled by the English, the French moved down south and settled in southern Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they brought their favored game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns modernized the game and made it mathematically fair. It is said that the Cajuns changed the name to craps, which was gotten from the name of the losing toss of two in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi riverboats and across the country. A great many acknowledge the dice builder John H. Winn as the founder of modern craps. In the early 1900s, Winn developed the current craps setup. He put in place the Don’t Pass line so players could wager on the dice to not win. Later, he invented the spaces for Place bets and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
