Master Craps – Pointers and Tactics: The Background of Craps
Be brilliant, play brilliant, and discover how to play craps the proper way!
Dice and dice games goes all the way back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but modern craps is approximately a century old. Modern craps developed from the 12th Century Anglo game referred to as Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the birth of the game, however Hazard is said to have been discovered by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, around the 12th century. It’s theorized that Sir William’s paladins enjoyed Hazard through a siege on the fortress Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the citadel’s name.
Early French colonists brought the game Hazard to Nova Scotia. In the 18th century, when expelled by the British, the French relocated south and discovered safety in southern Louisiana where they a while later became Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they brought their favored game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it more mathematically fair. It is believed that the Cajuns changed the name to craps, which is gotten from the term for the losing toss of two in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi riverboats and all over the country. Most think the dice builder John H. Winn as the founder of modern craps. In the early 1900s, Winn built the modern craps setup. He put in place the Do not Pass line so players could bet on the dice to not win. At another time, he established the spots for Place bets and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
