Be smart, play brilliant, and pickup craps the ideal way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves date back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but current craps is just about a century old. Current craps come about from the 12th Century Anglo game called Hazard. Nobody knows for certain the origin of the game, however Hazard is believed to have been made up by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, around the twelfth century. It is supposed that Sir William’s knights bet on Hazard amid a blockade on the fortress Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was acquired from the castle’s name.
Early French colonizers brought the game Hazard to Nova Scotia. In the 18th century, when expelled by the English, the French headed south and settled in southern Louisiana where they a while later became Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they brought their preferred game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it fair mathematically. It is believed that the Cajuns altered the title to craps, which was derived from the term for the bad luck throw of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi riverboats and throughout the nation. A good many acknowledge the dice builder John H. Winn as the creator of current craps. In 1907, Winn built the current craps layout. He added the Don’t Pass line so players can wager on the dice to lose. Later, he invented the spaces for Place bets and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
