The C&E bet is actually a combination of the any craps bet and the yo bet. Basically when you bet on C and E, you are wagering that the shooter will roll any craps numbers (2, 3, or 12) or 11. The payout odds are actually different for each part of the bet.

What Is A Hop Bet In Craps Terms
The layout contains all the 'hop bets'. Our other 14' table does not have hop bets. Thus, in all the years I have been doing this, I've never had a player ask for a hop bet.
My fear is two-fold:
1. While I love one-roll bets, it can sting when the number hits, even with the payoffs shaved. Lots of hits could make for a bad night.
2. I'm thinking that overall, this will slow the game down considerably, (a) in constantly explaining the bet to players, (b) finding/placing the wager on the correct spot and (c) making payouts.
Thoughts?
Thanks.
In craps, a hop bet is a one roll bet where the player bets on what they think will appear on the next roll. Hop bets are always one roll bets. The rest of this article will go into the technical and detailed explanation of the hop bet. If you want the simple explanation, just skip to the bottom to the TL;DR part. Hop bets are one-roll bets that the dice will land on the two numbers you call. They pay 15-1 if the two numbers you call are different or 30-1 if you bet both numbers will be the same. House edges of 11.11 percent on easy hops and 13.89 percent on hard hops are too high for a steady stream of hops bets to be profitable. A “Hop” (or “Hopping”) Craps Bet.A “Hop” (or “Hopping”) bet is a proposition bet based on a single roll and is made on a certain combination of the dice. When making a Hop bet, you specify the combination you think will appear. The Hop bets are for the players who hope to score a huge win on a single roll. Winning on this type of bet gives you crazy money, and if you guess the numbers right, you can leave the table much.
A local gentleman recently donated a 12' casino-quality craps table to our school to use during our fundraising events. The table as well as the layout are virtually brand new condition.

It does slow the game down.
My first thought is that in a limited time you could get killed if a few people have nice payouts on them, however since you limit people to winning $500 in a night I don't think you have to worry about any of that.
Point 2 is a whole nother story. For the reasons mentioned in #2, don't offer the bet. Only a select few players will notice. But I doubt they will complain. It they do, just say it can't be offered since its not on all the tables.

I don't have much issue with paying a person $500 a night. What I do have problems with is paying 'dozens' of people $500 a night!
With that said, slowing the game down is reason enough for me not to offer the bet.

this is hard to believeone can not bet the 2,3,11 or 12 on your 14' in the prop bet area?
they have to be hop bets
but I do thinks more hop bets for the players could mean less for your school
that chance is >0 (and you if you get a cut of the profits)
Casino Fundraisers are fun!

Rather than leave it out there and have to say 'no' all the time, I'll just have a new, custom layout made.

We have the 2, 3, 11, 12 on the 14' table and they get played a lot. The 14' table does not have a 'hop bet' area printed on it. I suppose somebody could ask for a certain hop bet however, in my experience if it's not on the layout, nobody asks for it.
Also, I make $0 of the profits.

New felt is expesive. Jujst cover the hop bets with 'Its For Charity' sign.Actually I would offer the hop bets with high minimum and shaved payouts. 16 perectn house edge in the real world.... great money maker. Slow things down? Not usually.

How to play craps
A craps game starts with a come out roll. The player making this roll must make a bet that meets the table minimum on either the pass line or don’t pass. The stickman pushes the dice to this player and there is a roll. The dice must hit the back wall to count.
If the come out roll is a 7 or 11, the pass line wins and the don’t pass loses. The don’t pass wins on a 2 or 3, while the pass line loses. On a 12, the pass line loses and the don’t pass bet pushes. This is the house roll. Any of these rolls are followed by another come out with the same shooter.
If the roll is a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10, the number becomes the point. Players may place odds behind the line bet. The pass line wins if this number is rolled before a 7. If a 7 is rolled before the point, the don’t pass wins.
How craps odds work
All Las Vegas casinos offer odds on pass line and don’t pass bets. Come and don’t come bets also have odds available. These are the best deal in the house. There is no house edge on odds bets at a craps table. If a game allows double odds, the player may place double the amount of the pass line bet or lay to win up to double the amount from the don’t pass side. The payback depends on the number.
- 4 and 10: 2:1
- 5 and 9: 3:2
- 6 and 8: 6:5
A player that takes odds on a 4 from the pass line wins double the odds amount if that number comes before a 7. It loses if a 7 is first. From the don’t pass, the player would lay double the amount to be won.
If the come out roll is a 4, and the player bet $5, the pass line max odds is $10. If the 4 comes before a 7, the $5 pass line bet wins, as well as $20 on the $10 odds. The bets are returned to the player, too. From the don’t pass, the player would be able to lay $20 to win $10 on the odds. A 7 coming before the 4 would pay the $20 odds $10 and $5 on the don’t pass.
At a 3-4-5 times odds tables, the maximum odds win is six times the pass line bet for every number. On a $5 bet, the player could bet $15 on 4 and 10, $20 on 5 and 9 and $25 on 6 and 8. Each of the bets wins $30 if the point is rolled before a 7. From the don’t pass, the player can lay $30 on any of those numbers and win the amount the pass line would have bet. For example, on a 4 point, the player could lay $30 to win $15. This bet wins if the 7 comes before the point. It loses if the point is rolled first.
