Be clever, play brilliant, and learn how to play craps the correct way!
Dice and dice games goes all the way back to the Crusades, but modern craps is approximately one hundred years old. Current craps evolved from the old English game referred to as Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the origin of the game, although Hazard is said to have been invented by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, around the twelfth century. It’s presumed that Sir William’s horsemen wagered on Hazard during a blockade on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was derived from the fortress’s name.
Early French settlers brought the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when expelled by the English, the French relocated down south and located safety in southern Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they brought their preferred game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it mathematically fair. It’s believed that the Cajuns changed the title to craps, which is derived from the name of the bad luck throw of two in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi barges and all over the nation. A good many think the dice builder John H. Winn as the father of modern craps. In the early 1900s, Winn assembled the modern craps setup. He created the Do not Pass line so gamblers could wager on the dice to not win. At another time, he established the spaces for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
