If you choose to use this approach you want to have a very large amount of money and amazing fortitude to step away when you achieve a small win. For the benefit of this article, a sample buy in of $2,000 is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are not always looked at as the "winning way to play" and the horn bet itself has a house edge of over 12 %.
All you are betting is 5 dollars on the pass line and a single number from the horn. It does not matter if it is a "craps" or "yo" as long as you gamble it at all times. The Yo is more popular with players using this scheme for apparent reasons.
Buy in for two thousand dollars when you approach the table but put only $5.00 on the passline and $1 on one of the two, 3, eleven, or twelve. If it wins, fantastic, if it loses press to $2. If it loses again, press to four dollars and continue on to $8, then to $16 and following that add a one dollar each time. Each time you lose, bet the previous amount plus one more dollar.
Using this approach, if for instance after 15 rolls, the number you chose (11) has not been tosses, you really should march away. However, this is what could happen.
On the tenth roll, you have a sum of $126 on the table and the YO finally hits, you win three hundred and fifteen dollars with a gain of $189. Now is a good time to walk away as it’s a lot more than what you joined the game with.
If the YO doesn’t hit until the twentieth toss, you will have a total investment of $391 and because your current bet is at $31, you win $465 with your profit of $74.
As you can see, adopting this system with only a $1.00 "press," your take becomes smaller the longer you gamble on without hitting. This is why you must walk away after a win or you must wager a "full press" once again and then advance on with the one dollar boost with each toss.
Crunch some numbers at home before you attempt this so you are very adept at when this scheme becomes a losing proposition instead of a profitable one.
