Pickup Craps – Tips and Strategies: The Past of Craps
Be cunning, play clever, and pickup craps the correct way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves date all the way back to the Crusades, but modern craps is approximately 100 years old. Current craps developed from the ancient English game referred to as Hazard. Nobody knows for sure the birth of the game, but Hazard is said to have been discovered by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, in the twelfth century. It is presumed that Sir William’s paladins wagered on Hazard amid a blockade on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was acquired from the fortress’s name.
Early French settlers imported the game Hazard to Nova Scotia. In the 18th century, when expelled by the English, the French headed down south and settled in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they brought their favored game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it mathematically fair. It is said that the Cajuns altered the title to craps, which is gotten from the term for the bad luck throw of 2 in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi river boats and across the nation. A good many consider the dice builder John H. Winn as the creator of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn created the modern craps layout. He put in place the Don’t Pass line so gamblers can bet on the dice to lose. Afterwords, he created the boxes for Place bets and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
