If you commit to using this approach you must have a sizable bankroll and remarkable fortitude to step away when you realize a tiny success. For the purposes of this material, a sample buy in of two thousand dollars is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are not always deemed the "winning way to play" and the horn bet itself carries a casino edge well over 12 %.
All you are betting is 5 dollars on the pass line and ONE number from the horn. It doesn’t matter if it’s a "craps" or "yo" as long as you play it consistently. The Yo is more popular with players using this approach for obvious reasons.
Buy in for two thousand dollars when you join the table however put only $5.00 on the passline and $1 on either the 2, 3, 11, or 12. If it wins, excellent, if it does not win press to two dollars. If it does not win again, press to four dollars and then to $8, then to $16 and following that add a $1.00 every time. Every instance you lose, bet the previous value plus another dollar.
Using this system, if for instance after 15 rolls, the number you wagered on (11) hasn’t been tosses, you probably should step away. However, this is what possibly could happen.
On the tenth roll, you have a total of one hundred and twenty six dollars in the game and the YO finally hits, you come away with three hundred and fifteen dollars with a take of $189. Now is a good time to step away as it’s a lot more than what you joined the table with.
If the YO doesn’t hit until the 20th roll, you will have a total bet of $391 and seeing as current bet is at $31, you win $465 with your take of $74.
As you can see, employing this approach with only a $1.00 "press," your gain becomes smaller the more you gamble on without hitting. That is why you have to march away after a win or you must wager a "full press" again and then continue on with the one dollar increase with each roll.
Crunch the data at home before you attempt this so you are very adept at when this approach becomes a losing proposition instead of a profitable one.
