If you decide to use this approach you really want to have a vast amount of money and remarkable discipline to leave when you realize a tiny success. For the purposes of this essay, a figurative buy in of $2,000 is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are certainly not judged the "winning way to wager" and the horn bet itself has a house 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 whether it is a "craps" or "yo" as long as you play it always. The Yo is more common with players using this system for obvious reasons.
Buy in for $2,000 when you sit down at the table however only put $5.00 on the passline and $1 on one of the 2, three, eleven, or twelve. If it wins, excellent, if it does not win press to $2. If it does not win again, press to four dollars and then to eight dollars, then to $16 and after that add a one dollar each time. Every instance you lose, bet the previous amount plus one more dollar.
Using this approach, if for example after 15 tosses, the number you wagered on (11) has not been thrown, you likely should walk away. However, this is what might happen.
On the tenth roll, you have a sum total of $126 in the game and the YO finally hits, you earn $315 with a profit of $189. Now is a good time to walk away as it is a lot more than what you entered the game with.
If the YO doesn’t hit until the 20th toss, you will have a total wager of $391 and because your current action is at $31, you earn $465 with your take being $74.
As you can see, adopting this scheme with just a one dollar "press," your take becomes smaller the more you wager on without attaining a win. This is why you must step away once you have won or you have to wager a "full press" again and then advance on with the $1.00 mark up with each toss.
Carefully go over the numbers before you attempt this so you are very familiar at when this scheme becomes a losing proposition rather than a winning one.
