If you decide to use this approach you need to have a very large pocket book and remarkable discipline to walk away when you achieve a small win. For the benefit of this story, a sample buy in of $2,000 is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are not always considered the "successful way to play" and the horn bet itself carries a house advantage well over twelve percent.
All you are playing is 5 dollars on the pass line and ONE number from the horn. It does not matter whether it’s a "craps" or "yo" as long as you gamble it at all times. The Yo is more common with players using this approach for obvious reasons.
Buy in for $2,000 when you sit down at the table however put only five dollars on the passline and $1 on either the 2, three, 11, or twelve. If it wins, great, if it loses press to $2. If it does not win again, press to $4 and continue on to $8, then to sixteen dollars and after that add a $1.00 each subsequent bet. Every time you lose, bet the last value plus another dollar.
Adopting this scheme, if for example after 15 rolls, the number you bet on (11) has not been thrown, you likely should walk away. However, this is what could develop.
On the 10th toss, you have a sum of $126 on the table and the YO finally hits, you gain three hundred and fifteen dollars with a profit of one hundred and eighty nine dollars. Now is a perfect time to walk away as it is more than what you entered the table with.
If the YO does not hit until the 20th roll, you will have a complete wager of $391 and seeing as current action is at $31, you earn $465 with your gain being $74.
As you can see, employing this scheme with just a $1.00 "press," your gain becomes smaller the longer you gamble on without succeeding. This is why you should leave away after a win or you have to bet a "full press" once more and then advance on with the $1.00 increase with each roll.
Crunch some numbers at home before you attempt this so you are very familiar at when this scheme becomes a non-winning adventure instead of a winning one.
