If you decide to use this scheme you need to have a vast pocket book and incredible discipline to march away when you achieve a tiny win. For the benefit of this essay, an example buy in of two thousand dollars is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are surely not seen as the "winning way to play" and the horn bet itself has a house edge well over 12 %.
All you are gambling is 5 dollars on the pass line and a single number from the horn. It does not matter whether it’s a "craps" or "yo" as long as you wager it constantly. The Yo is more common with gamblers using this scheme for obvious reasons.
Buy in for $2,000 when you approach the table but put only five dollars on the passline and one dollar on one of the 2, 3, 11, or twelve. If it wins, excellent, if it loses press to two dollars. If it does not win again, press to four dollars and then to $8, then to $16 and after that add a one dollar every subsequent wager. Every time you lose, bet the last wager plus an additional dollar.
Adopting this approach, if for example after 15 rolls, the number you bet on (11) hasn’t been thrown, you probably should go away. However, this is what might happen.
On the tenth roll, you have a total of $126 in the game and the YO finally hits, you earn $315 with a take of $189. Now is a perfect time to walk away as it is higher than what you entered the game with.
If the YO does not hit until the twentieth roll, you will have a total bet of $391 and seeing as current wager is at $31, you gain $465 with your take of $74.
As you can see, adopting this system with only a one dollar "press," your gain becomes smaller the more you gamble on without hitting. This is why you must step away once you have won or you have to wager a "full press" once again and then carry on with the one dollar mark up with each toss.
Crunch the data at home before you try this so you are very adept at when this approach becomes a losing adventure rather than a profitable one.
