Be brilliant, play smart, and pickup craps the ideal way!
Dice and dice games goes all the way back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but modern craps is only about 100 years old. Modern craps formed from the old Anglo game referred to as Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the birth of the game, however Hazard is believed to have been invented by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, in the twelfth century. It’s believed that Sir William’s horsemen played Hazard through a siege on the citadel Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the fortification’s name.
Early French colonizers brought the game Hazard to Canada. In the 18th century, when banished by the British, the French headed south and found refuge in southern Louisiana where they a while later became known as Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they took their preferred game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it fair mathematically. It’s believed that the Cajuns altered the title to craps, which was derived from the name of the bad luck throw of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi riverboats and across the country. A few think the dice maker John H. Winn as the creator of modern craps. In the early 1900s, Winn created the current craps layout. He created the Do not Pass line so gamblers could wager on the dice to lose. Later, he created the boxes for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
