Be smart, play brilliant, and become versed in craps the correct way!
Dice and dice games goes all the way back to the Crusades, but current craps is approximately one hundred years old. Modern craps formed from the ancient Anglo game referred to as Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the origin of the game, although Hazard is said to have been created by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, around the 12th century. It is believed that Sir William’s paladins played Hazard through a blockade on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was acquired from the fortification’s name.
Early French settlers brought the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 1700s, when banished by the British, the French moved south and settled in southern Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they brought their best-loved game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it more mathematically fair. It’s believed that the Cajuns changed the title to craps, which was derived from the term for the non-winning throw of 2 in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi scows and all over the country. A great many think the dice builder John H. Winn as the creator of current craps. In 1907, Winn designed the current craps layout. He created the Do not Pass line so players can bet on the dice to lose. Afterwords, he developed the spaces for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
