If you decide to use this approach you really want to have a very large amount of cash and awesome fortitude to march away when you acquire a tiny win. For the benefit of this material, an example buy in of two thousand dollars is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are certainly not looked at as the "successful way to wager" and the horn bet itself carries a casino edge well over 12 %.
All you are betting is five dollars on the pass line and a single number from the horn. It doesn’t matter if it is a "craps" or "yo" as long as you wager it at all times. The Yo is more common with people using this approach for clear reasons.
Buy in for two thousand dollars when you approach the table however put only five dollars on the passline and $1 on either the 2, three, 11, or twelve. If it wins, beautiful, if it loses press to $2. If it loses again, press to $4 and then to $8, then to sixteen dollars and after that add a one dollar every subsequent bet. Each instance you do not win, bet the last amount plus an additional dollar.
Adopting this scheme, if for example after fifteen rolls, the number you selected (11) hasn’t been thrown, you surely should walk away. However, this is what might happen.
On the 10th toss, you have a total of $126 in the game and the YO finally hits, you come away with $315 with a profit of one hundred and eighty nine dollars. Now is a good time to step away as it’s a lot more than what you entered the table with.
If the YO doesn’t hit until the twentieth roll, you will have a total wager of $391 and because your current action is at $31, you win $465 with your take of $74.
As you can see, adopting this system with only a $1.00 "press," your take becomes smaller the longer you wager on without succeeding. That is why you must step away once you have won or you should bet a "full press" once more and then advance on with the $1.00 increase with each roll.
Crunch the data at home before you attempt this so you are very familiar at when this scheme becomes a losing adventure instead of a profitable one.
