Be smart, play cunning, and master craps the proper way!
Dice and dice games date all the way back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but current craps is approximately one hundred years old. Current craps formed from the old English game referred to as Hazard. No one knows for sure the beginnings of the game, but Hazard is believed to have been created by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, in the twelfth century. It is theorized that Sir William’s soldiers enjoyed Hazard amid a siege on the fortress Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the fortification’s name.
Early French colonizers brought the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when expelled by the English, the French moved south and settled in southern Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they brought their preferred game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns modernized the game and made it fair mathematically. It is said that the Cajuns changed the title to craps, which is gotten from the term for the bad luck toss of two in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi barges and all over the nation. A good many acknowledge the dice builder John H. Winn as the creator of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn built the current craps setup. He put in place the Don’t Pass line so gamblers could wager on the dice to not win. At another time, he established the boxes for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
