Be a Master of Craps – Tricks and Strategies: The Past of Craps
Be cunning, play smart, and master craps the proper way!
Dice and dice games date back to the Crusades, but modern craps is just about 100 years old. Modern craps come about from the ancient English game called Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the origin of the game, although Hazard is believed to have been made up by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, sometime in the twelfth century. It’s theorized that Sir William’s paladins played Hazard amid a blockade on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the fortification’s name.
Early French colonists imported the game Hazard to Nova Scotia. In the 18th century, when displaced by the British, the French relocated south and located refuge in southern Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they took their favored game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it fair mathematically. It is believed that the Cajuns changed the name to craps, which was gotten from the name of the bad luck toss of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi barges and all over the country. Most consider the dice builder John H. Winn as the father of current craps. In 1907, Winn designed the modern craps layout. He appended the Do not Pass line so players can wager on the dice to not win. Afterwords, he developed the boxes for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
