If you commit to using this approach you need to have a very big amount of money and remarkable fortitude to march away when you generate a small success. For the purposes of this story, a sample buy in of $2,000 is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are not always seen as the "winning way to compete" and the horn bet itself carries a house edge well over 12 %.
All you are wagering is $5 on the pass line and ONE number from the horn. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a "craps" or "yo" as long as you wager it constantly. The Yo is more common with players using this approach for obvious reasons.
Buy in for $2,000 when you join the table but only put five dollars on the passline and $1 on either the 2, 3, 11, or 12. If it wins, great, if it loses press to $2. If it does not win again, press to four dollars and continue on to $8, then to sixteen dollars and following that add a $1.00 every time. Each instance you don’t win, bet the previous wager plus an additional dollar.
Adopting this approach, if for example after fifteen rolls, the number you wagered on (11) has not been tosses, you really should march away. However, this is what could develop.
On the tenth toss, you have a sum of $126 on the table and the YO at long last hits, you win $315 with a gain of $189. Now is an excellent time to walk away as it is a lot more than what you entered the table with.
If the YO does not hit until the 20th toss, you will have a complete investment of $391 and because your current wager is at $31, you come away with $465 with your profit of $74.
As you can see, using this approach with just a $1.00 "press," your gain becomes tinier the more you bet on without hitting. This is why you must step away once you have won or you must wager a "full press" once more and then advance on with the one dollar increase with each hand.
Crunch the data at home before you attempt this so you are very accomplished at when this approach becomes a losing proposition rather than a profitable one.
