I bet you know about craps, well, no surprise there. Many people know about the game of craps. But, do you know what proposition betting is? If you answered no, that’s not surprising. Many people, who play craps, don’t know about this bet. This bet is commonly known as hop betting. This bet is made in a proposition box, which is located near the hard way bets.
An example for hop betting is, if someone were to make the bet on 3-2 hopping. This means that the player who is betting expects the next roll to be a 5. If this roll is rolled a 5, but 4-1 instead of 3-2, the bet is lost. These bets are very risky to make, but it’s another way of rooting on the person who has placed a bet. Let’s say the person placed a bet on an 8. You simply make a hop bet as a 5-3 or 4-4. It’s just your way of saying that the roll is going to be an 8.
Not many people know about this bet, simply because it is a very risky bet. With this bet, you are betting on exact numbers, not just betting that a 7 is going to be rolled, bet saying that it is going to be a 6-1 or 5-2. Not many people place these bets because of the fact that it’s an absurd bet. Let me tell you what, if I was dared to make this bet, I would laugh in their face and tell them they’re crazy.
Hop bets shouldn’t be placed often, if even at all. It’s more of a bet that your money is being thrown in the garbage. If I bet on you losing your bet, I would have more like a 98% chance of winning the bet. Which means the chance of you winning the bet is slim or evens none. Well, after learning that, I know that’s not a bet I would play every time I go to a casino. That would be a sure way to lose all my money. I don’t know about you, but I like having money in my pocket.
The best part of playing these bets is yelling you want to play it. Other players may look at you as a role model, or maybe a crazy person. But either way, they’ll be impressed. Just think as you’re placing the bet, the dice gets rolled, and BAM, it lands on your number. You feel scared, relieved, nervous and excited all at the same time. But you won the bet, and that’s all there is to it. Now, you’re thinking whether you should place another one or leave so you don’t lose all your money. You may be feeling lucky, but what are the real chances that you are going to win that bet again. Not a very high chance, so you leave feeling very accomplished, and hey, you made some money. All those mixed emotions turned out to be all worth it.
