Be smart, 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 just about a century old. Current craps developed from the ancient English game called Hazard. No one knows for certain the origin of the game, although Hazard is believed to have been invented by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, sometime in the twelfth century. It’s presumed that Sir William’s soldiers played Hazard amid a blockade on the fortress Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was derived from the fortification’s name.
Early French settlers imported the game Hazard to Nova Scotia. In the 1700s, when driven away by the British, the French moved south and found sanctuary in southern Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they took their best-loved game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns simplified the game and made it mathematically fair. It’s believed that the Cajuns changed the title to craps, which is gotten from the name of the losing toss of two in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi river boats and throughout the country. A good many consider the dice maker John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn assembled the current craps setup. He appended the Don’t Pass line so players can wager on the dice to not win. Afterwords, he created the spots for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
