Be brilliant, play brilliant, and pickup craps the ideal way!
Dice and dice games goes back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but modern craps is approximately a century old. Current craps evolved from the old Anglo game called Hazard. Nobody knows for certain the beginnings of the game, although Hazard is said to have been discovered by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, around the 12th century. It is believed that Sir William’s horsemen wagered on Hazard amid a blockade on the citadel Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the fortification’s name.
Early French settlers brought the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 18th century, when expelled by the British, the French moved down south and found refuge in southern Louisiana where they a while later became known as Cajuns. When they were driven out of Acadia, they took their best-loved game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it more mathematically fair. It’s said that the Cajuns altered the title to craps, which was acquired from the term for the non-winning toss of 2 in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi scows and throughout the nation. A great many acknowledge the dice builder John H. Winn as the creator of modern craps. In the early 1900s, Winn designed the current craps setup. He created the Don’t Pass line so players can bet on the dice to lose. Afterwords, he established the boxes for Place bets and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
