Hop Bet (Craps term)

In the game of craps, a hop bet is a type of bet that is made on the outcome of the next roll of the dice. In a hop bet, a player is betting that the next roll will be a specific combination of the dice, such as a 2-1, a 3-2, or a 4-3. A hop bet is a one-roll bet, meaning that it is resolved on the next roll of the dice and does not carry over to subsequent rolls. Hop bets are considered to be very risky, because they have a low probability of winning. The odds of rolling a specific combination of the dice on the next roll are very low, and the player is only paid a fixed amount if they win the bet. Despite the high level of risk, hop bets can be attractive to some craps players, because they offer the potential for a large payout if the bet wins.
