Be brilliant, play cunning, and become versed in craps the ideal way!
Dice and dice games date all the way back to the Crusades, but modern craps is approximately one hundred years old. Modern craps developed from the 12th Century Anglo game referred to as Hazard. No one knows for certain the ancestry of the game, but Hazard is believed to have been discovered by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, in the twelfth century. It is presumed that Sir William’s horsemen gambled on Hazard amid a blockade on the fortress Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the fortification’s name.
Early French colonists brought the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 18th century, when displaced by the British, the French headed south and settled in southern Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they fled Acadia, they brought their favorite game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it fair mathematically. It is believed that the Cajuns adjusted the name to craps, which was acquired from the term for the bad luck toss of two in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi barges and throughout the nation. A good many acknowledge the dice maker John H. Winn as the father of modern craps. In 1907, Winn created the modern craps setup. He put in place the Do not Pass line so gamblers can bet on the dice to not win. At another time, he created the boxes for Place bets and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
