If you decide to use this scheme you must have a vast bankroll and awesome fortitude to march away when you realize a tiny win. For the benefit of this material, an example buy in of $2,000 is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are certainly not seen as the "successful way to play" and the horn bet itself has a house edge of over 12 %.
All you are gambling is 5 dollars on the pass line and a single number from the horn. It does not matter if it’s a "craps" or "yo" as long as you gamble it consistently. The Yo is more established with players using this approach for obvious reasons.
Buy in for $2,000 when you join the table but only put $5.00 on the passline and one dollar on one of the 2, 3, 11, or twelve. If it wins, excellent, if it loses press to two dollars. If it loses again, press to four dollars and continue on to $8, then to $16 and following that add a one dollar each subsequent bet. Each instance you do not win, bet the previous wager plus a further dollar.
Using this system, if for instance after 15 tosses, the number you chose (11) has not been thrown, you probably should march away. However, this is what could happen.
On the tenth toss, you have a total of $126 on the table and the YO finally hits, you come away with $315 with a gain of one hundred and eighty nine dollars. Now is an excellent time to go away as it is higher than what you joined the table with.
If the YO does not hit until the twentieth toss, you will have a complete wager of $391 and because your current action is at $31, you amass $465 with your profit being $74.
As you can see, employing this system with only a one dollar "press," your take becomes smaller the longer you play on without succeeding. That is why you should go away once you have won or you must wager a "full press" once again and then advance on with the $1.00 boost with each toss.
Crunch some numbers at home before you attempt this so you are very adept at when this approach becomes a non-winning adventure instead of a profitable one.
