If you decide to use this approach you need to have a very big bankroll and awesome discipline to walk away when you accrue a tiny win. For the purposes of this material, a sample buy in of $2,000 is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are not always deemed the "successful way to wager" and the horn bet itself carries a casino edge well over 12 %.
All you are playing is $5 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 play it always. The Yo is more common with players using this scheme for clear reasons.
Buy in for $2,000 when you sit down at the table however only put $5.00 on the passline and one dollar on one of the 2, three, eleven, or 12. If it wins, excellent, if it loses press to $2. If it does not win again, press to four dollars and then to $8, then to sixteen dollars and after that add a one dollar every time. Each time you do not win, bet the last amount plus one more dollar.
Using this system, if for instance after 15 tosses, the number you bet on (11) hasn’t been thrown, you without doubt should march away. However, this is what possibly could happen.
On the tenth toss, you have a sum total of $126 on the table and the YO finally hits, you win three hundred and fifteen dollars with a profit of $189. Now is a great time to step away as it’s a lot more than what you joined the table with.
If the YO does not hit until the twentieth toss, you will have a total bet of $391 and seeing as current wager is at $31, you earn $465 with your profit being $74.
As you can see, adopting this scheme with just a one dollar "press," your profit margin becomes tinier the longer you play on without winning. That is why you should step away once you have won or you have to wager a "full press" once more and then continue on with the $1.00 mark up with each toss.
Crunch some numbers at home before you attempt this so you are very familiar at when this approach becomes a non-winning adventure rather than a winning one.
