If you consider using this system you need to have a very large amount of money and superior discipline to step away when you acquire a tiny win. For the purposes of this story, a figurative buy in of two thousand dollars is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are not always looked at as the "successful way to compete" and the horn bet itself carries a house edge of over 12 %.
All you are playing is five dollars on the pass line and ONE number from the horn. It doesn’t matter if it is a "craps" or "yo" as long as you play it always. The Yo is more common with people using this system for apparent reasons.
Buy in for $2,000 when you approach the table however put only five dollars on the passline and $1 on one of the 2, three, eleven, or twelve. If it wins, great, 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 after that add a $1.00 each subsequent wager. Every time you don’t win, bet the previous wager plus one more dollar.
Employing this scheme, if for example after 15 tosses, the number you bet on (11) hasn’t been tosses, you likely should march away. Although, this is what could happen.
On the 10th roll, you have a sum of $126 in the game and the YO finally hits, you earn $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 game with.
If the YO doesn’t hit until the 20th roll, you will have a total investment of $391 and seeing as current wager is at $31, you win $465 with your gain being $74.
As you can see, adopting this system with just a one dollar "press," your profit margin becomes smaller the more you play on without winning. That is why you should walk away after a win or you must bet a "full press" again and then continue on with the $1.00 increase with each hand.
Crunch some numbers at home before you attempt this so you are very accomplished at when this scheme becomes a losing proposition rather than a winning one.
