Be cunning, play clever, and pickup craps the ideal way!
Dice and dice games date all the way back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but modern craps is just about 100 years old. Current craps developed from the 12th Century English game called Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the ancestry of the game, although Hazard is believed to have been invented by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, around the 12th century. It is theorized that Sir William’s horsemen played Hazard through a blockade on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was derived from the fortress’s name.
Early French settlers imported the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when expelled by the British, the French headed down south and located refuge in southern Louisiana where they at a later time became Cajuns. When they were driven out of Acadia, they brought their best-loved game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it fair mathematically. It is believed that the Cajuns adjusted the title to craps, which is gotten from the term for the losing throw of 2 in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi river boats and throughout the nation. A good many think the dice builder John H. Winn as the father of modern craps. In the early 1900s, Winn developed the current craps setup. He appended the Do not Pass line so players can bet on the dice to lose. Later, he created the spots for Place wagers and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
