Be cunning, play smart, and master craps the proper way!
Dice and dice games date back to the Crusades, but current craps is just about one hundred years old. Modern craps come about from the ancient English game referred to as Hazard. Nobody knows for sure the beginnings of the game, however Hazard is said to have been created by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, sometime in the twelfth century. It’s believed that Sir William’s knights played Hazard amid a siege on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the castle’s name.
Early French settlers brought the game Hazard to Nova Scotia. In the 1700s, when expelled by the British, the French relocated down south and settled in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they took their favorite game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it more mathematically fair. It’s believed that the Cajuns altered the name to craps, which was acquired from the term for the non-winning throw of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi river boats and all over the country. A few acknowledge the dice maker John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In 1907, Winn designed the modern craps setup. He added the Don’t Pass line so gamblers can wager on the dice to not win. Afterwords, he established the spots for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
