Be brilliant, play brilliant, and pickup craps the proper way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves date all the way back to the Crusades, but current craps is approximately one hundred years old. Current craps come about from the old English game referred to as Hazard. No one knows for certain the origin of the game, but Hazard is said to have been discovered by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, in the twelfth century. It’s supposed that Sir William’s knights bet on Hazard amid a siege on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was derived from the fortress’s name.
Early French settlers brought the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when driven away by the English, the French moved down south and found sanctuary in southern Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they brought their preferred game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns modernized the game and made it mathematically fair. It is believed that the Cajuns altered the title to craps, which was derived from the name of the non-winning throw of two in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi scows and across the country. Most consider the dice builder John H. Winn as the creator of modern craps. In 1907, Winn assembled the current craps setup. He put in place the Don’t Pass line so gamblers can wager on the dice to not win. Later, he established the spaces for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
