Be cunning, play cunning, and pickup craps the ideal way!
Dice and dice games date all the way back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but current craps is just about a century old. Modern craps evolved from the 12th Century English game referred to as Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the ancestry of the game, however Hazard is believed to have been created by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, in the 12th century. It’s supposed that Sir William’s horsemen played Hazard during a blockade on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the citadel’s name.
Early French colonizers brought the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when driven away by the English, the French headed down south and discovered safety in southern Louisiana where they at a later time became known as Cajuns. When they were driven out of Acadia, they brought their best-loved game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns modernized the game and made it more mathematically fair. It’s said that the Cajuns altered the title to craps, which is gotten from the term for the losing throw of 2 in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi scows and throughout the nation. A good many consider the dice builder John H. Winn as the father of modern craps. In 1907, Winn developed the current craps layout. He added the Do not Pass line so gamblers could bet on the dice to not win. Afterwords, he established the spaces for Place bets and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
