Be smart, play cunning, and master craps the ideal way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves date all the way back to the Crusades, but current craps is just about a century old. Current craps come about from the ancient Anglo game called Hazard. Nobody knows for certain the beginnings of the game, but Hazard is believed to have been created by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, in the twelfth century. It’s supposed that Sir William’s paladins wagered on Hazard amid a blockade on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was acquired from the castle’s name.
Early French colonizers brought the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 1700s, when banished by the British, the French headed down south and settled in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they fled Acadia, they took their preferred game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it fair mathematically. It’s said that the Cajuns changed the name to craps, which is acquired from the name of the losing toss of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi barges and all over the country. Most acknowledge the dice builder John H. Winn as the father of modern craps. In the early 1900s, Winn assembled the current craps setup. He put in place the Do not Pass line so gamblers can wager on the dice to not win. Afterwords, he invented the spots for Place bets and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
