Be clever, play cunning, and pickup craps the ideal way!
Dice and dice games goes back to the Crusades, but current craps is approximately 100 years old. Modern craps come about from the ancient English game called Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the origin of the game, although Hazard is said to have been invented by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, sometime in the 12th century. It is believed that Sir William’s soldiers enjoyed Hazard during a siege on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the fortress’s name.
Early French settlers brought the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when displaced by the British, the French headed down south and discovered safety in the south of Louisiana where they at a later time became known as Cajuns. When they were driven out of Acadia, they brought their preferred game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns simplified the game and made it mathematically fair. It’s said that the Cajuns altered the title to craps, which is derived from the term for the bad luck toss of two in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi barges and throughout the country. A great many think the dice builder John H. Winn as the creator of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn assembled the current craps setup. He appended the Don’t Pass line so players could wager on the dice to not win. Afterwords, he designed the spaces for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
