Be cunning, play brilliant, and master craps the right way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves goes back to the Crusades, but modern craps is approximately a century old. Current craps formed from the 12th Century Anglo game referred to as Hazard. Nobody knows for sure the ancestry of the game, although Hazard is said to have been created by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, in the 12th century. It’s supposed that Sir William’s horsemen played Hazard through a blockade on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the citadel’s name.
Early French settlers brought the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when exiled by the English, the French relocated south and settled in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they brought their preferred game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it fair mathematically. It is believed that the Cajuns adjusted the name to craps, which was gotten from the term for the bad luck throw of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi scows and all over the nation. A good many think the dice builder John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn built the modern craps setup. He appended the Don’t Pass line so gamblers could bet on the dice to not win. At another time, he created the spots for Place bets and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
