Learn how to use multi-bets in craps. Discover the Horn, World, C&E, and Hop bets to make exciting wagers easily at the table.

Last Updated: 25 June 2026

If you want to bet on multiple high-risk outcomes in the centre of the table, Multi-Bets are the perfect solution. Instead of throwing individual chips all over the place and confusing the dealer, you can use these convenient, packaged bets.

Key Takeaways: Craps Multi-Bets

  • The Objective: A simple way to wager on multiple high-risk outcomes in the centre of the table without confusing the dealer.
  • The Horn: A single-roll wager covering the 2, 3, 11, and 12 simultaneously. It must always be bet in multiples of four.
  • The World (Whirl): Combines a Horn bet with an ‘Any Seven’ wager for insurance. It is bet in increments of £5 and pushes if a 7 rolls.
  • Hop Bets: Wagers on the exact combination of the next roll. Easy combinations pay 15 to 1, whilst Hard combinations pay 30 to 1.

The Horn

The Horn is a single-roll wager that covers four specific numbers at the same time: 2, 3, 11, and 12. To make this bet, you must always wager in multiples of four (like £4, £8, or £12). This ensures there is an equal amount of money placed on each of the four numbers.

The World (or Whirl)

The World bet is essentially a Horn bet with an extra unit added to cover the ‘Any Seven’. Because of this, you must bet in increments of £5.

It is incredibly popular during the Comeout Roll. If a 7 rolls, the bet is considered a ‘push’ (a tie). Your winnings from the 7 cover your losing bets, meaning you do not lose your money.

C & E (Craps & Eleven)

This stands for ‘Any Craps’ (covering the 2, 3, and 12) and ‘Eleven’. It is a slightly cheaper alternative to the Horn wager. You can play a C & E with a minimum of just £2, placing £1 on the C and £1 on the E.

Hop Bets

Hop bets are single-roll wagers where you try to guess the exact combination of the very next throw.

A quick heads-up, though: these bets are actually quite rare to find in most casinos nowadays. If you look closely at my table layout, you will see they are not printed on there at all. Even so, it is well worth knowing how they work because some casinos still let you call them out verbally to the dealer.

Here is how the two types break down:

  • Hop Bet – Easy: This is for mixed, non-pair combinations, like a 5 and a 4. If that exact combination lands on the next roll, it pays out at 15 to 1.

  • Hop Bet – Hard: This is when you back a specific pair to land next, like two 3s. Because hitting a precise double is much tougher, a winning bet rewards you with a massive 30 to 1 payout.

❓ Multi-Bets FAQ

What numbers are covered in a craps Horn bet?

The Horn is a convenient single-roll wager that covers four extreme numbers at the same time. By betting in multiples of four, you place an equal amount of money on the 2, 3, 11, and the number 12.

Why is the World bet popular during the Comeout Roll?

The World bet adds an ‘Any Seven’ wager to the standard Horn bet. This is very useful at the start of a round because if a 7 lands, your winnings cover the rest of the wager, resulting in a tie or a push.

How much do Hop bets pay out at the craps table?

Hop bets reward you for guessing the exact combination of the next roll. A ‘hard’ combination like a pair of threes pays a massive 30 to 1, whilst all other mixed ‘easy’ combinations pay out at 15 to 1.
