Master Craps – Pointers and Tactics: The Past of Craps
Be cunning, play brilliant, and discover how to play craps the proper way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves goes back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but modern craps is approximately 100 years old. Current craps developed from the old English game referred to as Hazard. No one absolutely knows the beginnings of the game, however Hazard is believed to have been created by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, sometime in the twelfth century. It is theorized that Sir William’s paladins enjoyed Hazard amid a siege on the citadel Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the castle’s name.
Early French colonists brought the game Hazard to Canada. In the 18th century, when driven away by the British, the French relocated down south and settled in southern Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they were driven out of Acadia, they brought their favored game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it fair mathematically. It’s said that the Cajuns altered the title to craps, which was derived from the name of the losing throw of two in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi river boats and all over the country. A great many consider the dice builder John H. Winn as the creator of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn designed the modern craps setup. He added the Do not Pass line so gamblers could bet on the dice to lose. Afterwords, he invented the spots for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
