Be cunning, play smart, and master craps the ideal way!
Dice and dice games goes all the way back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but modern craps is approximately one hundred years old. Current craps evolved from the old Anglo game referred to as Hazard. Nobody knows for certain the birth of the game, although Hazard is said to have been made up by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, around the twelfth century. It is supposed that Sir William’s soldiers enjoyed Hazard amid a siege on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the fortress’s name.
Early French settlers brought the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 1700s, when banished by the English, the French headed down south and settled in southern Louisiana where they at a later time became Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they took their favorite game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it fair mathematically. It’s said that the Cajuns adjusted the name to craps, which is gotten from the term for the losing throw of two in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi barges and throughout the nation. A few consider the dice maker John H. Winn as the father of current craps. In 1907, Winn assembled the modern craps layout. He created the Don’t Pass line so players can bet on the dice to not win. At another time, he established the spots for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
