Be smart, play smart, and become versed in craps the proper way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves date all the way back to the Crusades, but current craps is just about 100 years old. Modern craps evolved from the 12th Century Anglo game referred to as Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the ancestry of the game, but Hazard is said to have been created by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, in the 12th century. It is supposed that Sir William’s horsemen gambled on Hazard amid a siege on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the castle’s name.
Early French colonists imported the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when expelled by the British, the French moved down south and found refuge in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they fled Acadia, they took their best-loved game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it more mathematically fair. It is believed that the Cajuns altered the title to craps, which is acquired from the term for the bad luck toss of 2 in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi scows and throughout the country. A great many consider the dice builder John H. Winn as the creator of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn built the modern craps setup. He added the Don’t Pass line so gamblers can bet on the dice to lose. Afterwords, he invented the boxes for Place bets and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
