Heavy's Axis Power Craps Forum

I never have really done any hop betting except for hopping the 7 on the come out roll. I saw this post of hopping the 4,5,7,10. $2 on each bet. 1/3,2/2,2/3,1/4,1/6,2/5/1/6,4/6,5/5. $18 total, then $36, $72, $144,, $288, $576. I doubt I would go past $288 but interesting. Have not done the math but supposedly each level will get your money back plus profit. Might be a strategy for bubble craps when tables are full?

Hi Advdel77,

Hop bets are the crack cocaine of craps. I never did cocaine, but I have hopped untold bets during my 45+ years of playing craps. There are a lot of strategies here and there. I have 3 types. 1st I hedge on come-outs when playing dark. I will size the hop bets on the 7, and sometimes on the 11, to cover my flat Don't bet.

2nd is playing the PL, I will hop the red and play a world plus a $2 Hi-Low (the hi-low part was taught to me by his Heaviness). This stuff is pure "game within a game" stuff. Search the Board for come-out strategies. For kicks I allocate a portion of my bankroll to see what happens. On winners I usually press.

My 3rd strategy is called, "Feeling it". That's when I have a DP and maybe one or more DC bets up (usually with odds) and I feel the 7 is coming. I will toss out $6 or $15 and hop the reds. The last few years I will toss the stick $10 and tell him Hop the Red for $9 and $1 for the dealers.

It is fun when they hit.

My biggest single win on the hop bets was when I was up and had $25 up on a hardway number. $25 * 30 = $775 and down.

My favorite is hopping the red when shooting. My best there was hitting 7 five times in a row. I pressed after each but if I would have parlayed like some I know have done, I would have had as much cash as Heavy

Test the waters slowly. Enjoy, but always do it with discipline.

Good Luck\

The time I hop bets is
-When a shooter is deep in his roll and there is a disturbance,enough to call bets off. At that point I will hop the number that has been pressed up the most so in case that number hits I dont miss a payoff
-A number is repeating significantly;in that case I will hop it on the come-out

Good thread advdel77

Thx for all the replies.

I seldom Hop although I will occasionally utilize a Hop12 on a Dc in the chute. Typically, this is only when my wager is pressed to a higher level. The Hop amount is only for covering the amount of $ that I have at risk in the wager. I then lay odds for the amount (rounded up slightly for breakage) of the just-lost Hop bet.


All the best,
