Hop bets in craps are a type of one-roll bet where players wager on a specific combination of dice outcomes. These bets can be made on various combinations, such as specific doubles or pairs of different numbers.
Players can verbally place hop bets by specifying the desired combination, often using phrases like “hop the six-four” or “hop the three-one.” The outcome is determined by the next roll of the dice. If the specified combination appears, the player wins according to the payout structure.

It typically pays 30 to 1 if the specific combination is rolled. Easy Hop Bets are placed on combinations of two different numbers, like 1-3 or 4-5. It Pays 15 to 1 if the chosen combination comes up.
Any Seven Bet is a bet that any combination totalling seven will be rolled and usually pays 4 to 1. Finally, Any Crap Bet covers the outcomes of rolling a 2, 3, or 12 and typically pays 7 to 1.

This makes them appealing for players looking for excitement and potential big wins, but they should be approached with caution due to their inherent risk.
