Be brilliant, play clever, and master craps the proper way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves goes back to the Crusades, but modern craps is just about one hundred years old. Current craps evolved from the 12th Century English game called Hazard. No one absolutely knows the origin of the game, but Hazard is believed to have been created by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, sometime in the twelfth century. It’s theorized that Sir William’s soldiers bet on Hazard amid a blockade on the fortress Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was acquired from the fortification’s name.
Early French colonists brought the game Hazard to Nova Scotia. In the 1700s, when driven away by the English, the French headed down south and settled in southern Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they fled Acadia, they took their favorite game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it fair mathematically. It is said that the Cajuns adjusted the title to craps, which is derived from the name of the non-winning toss of two in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi barges and across the nation. A great many consider the dice builder John H. Winn as the creator of modern craps. In 1907, Winn designed the modern craps layout. He created the Don’t Pass line so players can bet on the dice to lose. At another time, he established the boxes for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
