Be brilliant, play clever, and master craps the ideal way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves goes back to the Crusades, but modern craps is approximately 100 years old. Modern craps developed from the 12th Century English game called Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the beginnings of the game, although Hazard is said to have been discovered by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, sometime in the twelfth century. It’s supposed that Sir William’s horsemen bet on Hazard through a siege on the fortress Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the citadel’s name.
Early French colonizers imported the game Hazard to Canada. In the 18th century, when exiled by the English, the French moved down south and located sanctuary in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they fled Acadia, they brought their best-loved game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it more mathematically fair. It’s believed that the Cajuns changed the name to craps, which is derived from the name of the bad luck throw of two in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi river boats and all over the country. A good many consider the dice builder John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn built the modern craps setup. He put in place the Do not Pass line so gamblers could bet on the dice to lose. Afterwords, he developed the boxes for Place bets and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
