Be a Master of Craps – Tips and Strategies: The Past of Craps
Be cunning, play brilliant, and master craps the proper way!
Dice and dice games date all the way back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but modern craps is approximately a century old. Modern craps evolved from the ancient English game referred to as Hazard. Nobody knows for sure the ancestry of the game, however Hazard is believed to have been made up by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, sometime in the 12th century. It’s theorized that Sir William’s soldiers bet on Hazard through a blockade on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was derived from the fortress’s name.
Early French settlers brought the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 1700s, when expelled by the British, the French relocated down south and settled in southern Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they took their best-loved game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it fair mathematically. It’s believed that the Cajuns adjusted the name to craps, which is gotten from the name of the losing toss of two in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi scows and throughout the nation. A great many consider the dice maker John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn created the current craps layout. He added the Don’t Pass line so gamblers can wager on the dice to not win. At another time, he established the spots for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
