If you commit to using this approach you need to have a very large pocket book and amazing fortitude to leave when you realize a tiny success. For the benefit of this material, a figurative buy in of $2,000 is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are not always considered the "winning way to play" and the horn bet itself carries a house advantage of over twelve percent.
All you are wagering is 5 dollars on the pass line and a single number from the horn. It does not matter whether it is a "craps" or "yo" as long as you bet it always. The Yo is more dominant with people using this approach for clear reasons.
Buy in for two thousand dollars when you approach the table but only put $5.00 on the passline and $1 on one of the two, three, eleven, or 12. If it wins, excellent, if it loses press to two dollars. If it does not win again, press to four dollars and then to $8, then to sixteen dollars and after that add a $1.00 every time. Every time you lose, bet the previous amount plus one more dollar.
Employing this system, if for example after fifteen tosses, the number you wagered on (11) hasn’t been tosses, you really should go away. Although, this is what could happen.
On the 10th roll, you have a total of $126 on the table and the YO finally hits, you amass $315 with a take of one hundred and eighty nine dollars. Now is a great time to walk away as it’s more than what you entered the table with.
If the YO does not hit until the twentieth roll, you will have a complete investment of $391 and because your current bet is at $31, you win $465 with your profit of $74.
As you can see, using this scheme with only a $1.00 "press," your gain becomes smaller the longer you play on without attaining a win. This is why you have to walk away after a win or you have to wager a "full press" once again and then advance on with the one dollar increase with each toss.
Carefully go over the numbers before you try this so you are very adept at when this approach becomes a losing affair rather than a profitable one.
