Be smart, play brilliant, and pickup craps the ideal way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves date all the way back to the Crusades, but current craps is only about 100 years old. Modern craps formed from the ancient English game referred to as Hazard. Nobody knows for sure the beginnings of the game, but Hazard is said to have been discovered by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, around the 12th century. It’s theorized that Sir William’s soldiers enjoyed Hazard during a blockade on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the fortress’s name.
Early French colonists imported the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when driven away by the English, the French relocated down south and settled in the south of Louisiana where they a while later became Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they brought their preferred game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it fair mathematically. It’s said that the Cajuns adjusted the title to craps, which is acquired from the name of the non-winning throw of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi river boats and all over the nation. A good many consider the dice maker John H. Winn as the creator of modern craps. In the early 1900s, Winn built the modern craps layout. He put in place the Don’t Pass line so players can wager on the dice to not win. Later, he created the boxes for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
