If you consider using this scheme you need to have a sizable amount of cash and incredible discipline to walk away when you generate a tiny success. For the purposes of this story, an example buy in of $2,000 is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are certainly not looked at as the "winning way to play" and the horn bet itself carries a casino edge well over 12 %.
All you are wagering is 5 dollars on the pass line and ONE number from the horn. It does not matter if it is a "craps" or "yo" as long as you play it routinely. The Yo is more common with gamblers using this approach for clear reasons.
Buy in for two thousand dollars when you sit down at the table however only put $5.00 on the passline and one dollar on either the 2, three, 11, or twelve. If it wins, great, if it loses press to $2. If it loses again, press to four dollars and continue on to eight dollars, then to sixteen dollars and following that add a $1.00 each time. Each time you do not win, bet the last value plus an additional dollar.
Employing this scheme, if for example after fifteen tosses, the number you selected (11) hasn’t been tosses, you probably should step away. However, this is what could happen.
On the tenth roll, you have a total of $126 in the game and the YO finally hits, you amass $315 with a gain of one hundred and eighty nine dollars. Now is an excellent time to go away as it is a lot more than what you entered the game with.
If the YO doesn’t hit until the twentieth roll, you will have a complete investment of $391 and seeing as current action is at $31, you come away with $465 with your take being $74.
As you can see, using this scheme with just a one dollar "press," your gain becomes smaller the longer you play on without succeeding. This is why you must leave away once you have won or you have to wager a "full press" once again and then carry on with the $1.00 increase with each hand.
Crunch the data at home before you attempt this so you are very familiar at when this approach becomes a non-winning proposition instead of a profitable one.
