Be cunning, play brilliant, and master craps the right way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves goes back to the Crusades, but current craps is just about 100 years old. Current craps come about from the ancient Anglo game referred to as Hazard. Nobody knows for certain the birth of the game, however Hazard is said to have been created by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, around the 12th century. It is supposed that Sir William’s knights gambled on Hazard amid a blockade on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was acquired from the citadel’s name.
Early French colonizers brought the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 18th century, when exiled by the English, the French relocated south and located safety in southern Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they took their favored game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it fair mathematically. It is believed that the Cajuns adjusted the name to craps, which is gotten from the term for the bad luck toss of two in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi river boats and all over the nation. A great many consider the dice builder John H. Winn as the father of modern craps. In 1907, Winn built the current craps setup. He put in place the Do not Pass line so players could wager on the dice to not win. At another time, he designed the boxes for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
