If you choose to use this approach you really want to have a very big amount of money and incredible discipline to march away when you realize a tiny win. For the purposes of this essay, an example buy in of two thousand dollars is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are not always looked at as the "successful way to play" and the horn bet itself carries a casino edge well over twelve percent.
All you are gambling is $5 on the pass line and ONE number from the horn. It does not matter if it is a "craps" or "yo" as long as you bet it at all times. The Yo is more prominent with people using this approach for obvious reasons.
Buy in for two thousand dollars when you approach the table but only put $5.00 on the passline and $1 on either the two, three, 11, or 12. If it wins, great, if it loses press to $2. If it loses again, press to four dollars and continue on to eight dollars, then to $16 and following that add a one dollar each subsequent bet. Each time you don’t win, bet the previous wager plus one more dollar.
Using this scheme, if for instance after fifteen rolls, the number you bet on (11) has not been thrown, you probably should walk away. However, this is what might happen.
On the 10th toss, you have a sum of one hundred and twenty six dollars in the game and the YO finally hits, you gain $315 with a take of one hundred and eighty nine dollars. Now is a good time to march away as it’s higher than what you entered the game with.
If the YO does not hit until the 20th toss, you will have a complete wager of $391 and because your current bet is at $31, you win $465 with your gain of $74.
As you can see, using this system with only a $1.00 "press," your gain becomes tinier the more you wager on without winning. This is why you must march away once you have won or you should bet a "full press" again and then carry on with the one dollar mark up with each hand.
Carefully go over the numbers before you try this so you are very adept at when this system becomes a losing affair instead of a winning one.
