Be brilliant, play smart, and pickup craps the correct way!
Dice and dice games date all the way back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but current craps is just about one hundred years old. Current craps come about from the 12th Century English game called Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the beginnings of the game, but Hazard is believed to have been created by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, around the twelfth century. It is supposed that Sir William’s soldiers gambled on Hazard during a siege on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the fortress’s name.
Early French colonists brought the game Hazard to Canada. In the 18th century, when driven away by the English, the French relocated down south and located safety in southern Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they took their favored game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it more mathematically fair. It’s said that the Cajuns adjusted the title to craps, which was acquired from the name of the non-winning toss of two in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi barges and all over the country. A good many acknowledge the dice maker John H. Winn as the father of modern craps. In the early 1900s, Winn designed the modern craps setup. He appended the Don’t Pass line so gamblers can bet on the dice to not win. Afterwords, he developed the spaces for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
