Be clever, play cunning, and become versed in craps the ideal way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves date all the way back to the Crusades, but current craps is approximately one hundred years old. Current craps evolved from the old Anglo game called Hazard. Nobody knows for certain the origin of the game, but Hazard is said to have been invented by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, around the twelfth century. It is presumed that Sir William’s paladins bet on Hazard during a siege on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was acquired from the citadel’s name.
Early French colonizers brought the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 18th century, when banished by the English, the French headed south and found safety in southern Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they were driven out of Acadia, they took their preferred game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it fair mathematically. It is said that the Cajuns changed the title to craps, which is acquired from the name of the losing toss of 2 in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi river boats and across the country. A good many consider 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 wager on the dice to not win. Later, he established the spots for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
