Be brilliant, play cunning, and pickup craps the right way!
Dice and dice games date all the way back to the Crusades, but current craps is approximately a century old. Modern craps evolved from the 12th Century Anglo game referred to as Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the beginnings of the game, but Hazard is said to have been discovered by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, around the 12th century. It’s theorized that Sir William’s knights wagered on Hazard through a siege on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was acquired from the fortress’s name.
Early French colonizers imported the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when exiled by the English, the French relocated south and found safety in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they brought their favored game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns modernized the game and made it fair mathematically. It’s said that the Cajuns changed the title to craps, which was gotten from the name of the losing throw of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi barges and all over the nation. A few think the dice maker John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In 1907, Winn developed the modern craps layout. He appended the Do not Pass line so gamblers can wager on the dice to lose. At another time, he designed the boxes for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
