Be brilliant, play brilliant, and pickup craps the right way!
Dice and dice games goes back to the Crusades, but current craps is only about one hundred years old. Current craps formed from the ancient English game called Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the birth of the game, however Hazard is said to have been invented by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, in the 12th century. It is supposed that Sir William’s horsemen wagered on Hazard amid a siege on the citadel Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was derived from the fortification’s name.
Early French colonists imported the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 18th century, when driven away by the English, the French headed south and located sanctuary in the south of Louisiana where they at a later time became known as Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they brought their best-loved game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns simplified the game and made it more mathematically fair. It is said that the Cajuns adjusted the title to craps, which is derived from the name of the bad luck throw of 2 in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi river boats and throughout the country. A great many acknowledge the dice builder John H. Winn as the father of current craps. In 1907, Winn developed the current craps setup. He appended the Don’t Pass line so gamblers could wager on the dice to lose. Later, he designed the spots for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
