Be brilliant, play brilliant, 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 a century old. Current craps developed from the ancient English game referred to as Hazard. No one knows for certain the ancestry of the game, although Hazard is believed to have been made up by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, around the twelfth century. It’s believed that Sir William’s soldiers enjoyed Hazard during a blockade on the citadel Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was derived from the castle’s name.
Early French colonists brought the game Hazard to Nova Scotia. In the 18th century, when expelled by the British, the French relocated down south and located refuge in southern Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they were driven out of Acadia, they brought their favorite game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns simplified the game and made it more mathematically fair. It is said that the Cajuns altered the title to craps, which is gotten from the term for the non-winning toss of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi barges and throughout the country. A few think the dice builder John H. Winn as the creator of modern craps. In the early 1900s, Winn created the modern craps setup. He added the Don’t Pass line so gamblers can wager on the dice to lose. Later, he invented the spots for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
