Be brilliant, play smart, 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 approximately 100 years old. Current craps come about from the old Anglo game called Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the ancestry of the game, although Hazard is said to have been discovered by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, around the twelfth century. It’s believed that Sir William’s soldiers wagered on Hazard amid a blockade on the fortress Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was acquired from the fortification’s name.
Early French colonizers imported the game Hazard to Nova Scotia. In the 18th century, when driven away by the British, the French moved down south and located sanctuary in southern Louisiana where they a while later became Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they took their best-loved game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it more mathematically fair. It is believed that the Cajuns adjusted the name to craps, which was gotten from the name of the non-winning throw of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi river boats and all over the country. A few acknowledge the dice builder John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn created the current craps layout. He put in place the Don’t Pass line so gamblers could wager on the dice to not win. Afterwords, he developed the boxes for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
