Be cunning, play smart, and pickup craps the ideal way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves date all the way back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but current craps is only about a century old. Current craps developed from the old Anglo game called Hazard. Nobody knows for sure the birth of the game, however Hazard is said to have been created by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, around the 12th century. It is theorized that Sir William’s paladins gambled on Hazard amid a siege on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the fortress’s name.
Early French colonists brought the game Hazard to Nova Scotia. In the 1700s, when banished by the British, the French relocated down south and located safety in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they fled Acadia, they brought their favorite game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns modernized the game and made it fair mathematically. It’s said that the Cajuns altered the title to craps, which was gotten from the term for the bad luck toss of 2 in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi barges and all over the nation. Most consider the dice maker John H. Winn as the creator of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn created the current craps layout. He put in place the Don’t Pass line so gamblers could bet on the dice to lose. Later, he established the spaces for Place bets and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
