If you choose to use this scheme you need to have a very big pocket book and amazing fortitude to leave when you accrue a small win. For the benefit of this material, a sample buy in of two thousand dollars is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are certainly not considered the "successful way to compete" and the horn bet itself has a casino edge of over 12 %.
All you are betting is five dollars on the pass line and ONE number from the horn. It does not matter if it is a "craps" or "yo" as long as you play it routinely. The Yo is more common with players using this approach for obvious reasons.
Buy in for two thousand dollars when you approach the table but only put $5.00 on the passline and $1 on one of the 2, three, eleven, or 12. If it wins, fantastic, if it loses press to $2. If it loses again, press to $4 and continue on to eight dollars, then to $16 and after that add a $1.00 each time. Every instance you don’t win, bet the last amount plus another dollar.
Using this approach, if for instance after fifteen tosses, the number you wagered on (11) hasn’t been thrown, you really should walk away. Although, this is what possibly could happen.
On the 10th toss, you have a sum total of $126 in the game and the YO finally hits, you gain three hundred and fifteen dollars with a take of $189. Now is a perfect time to walk away as it is higher than what you joined the table with.
If the YO does not hit until the twentieth roll, you will have a total wager of $391 and seeing as current wager is at $31, you gain $465 with your gain being $74.
As you can see, using this approach with only a $1.00 "press," your gain becomes tinier the more you wager on without winning. That is why you should step away once you have won or you must wager a "full press" once again and then continue on with the $1.00 boost with each hand.
Carefully go over the numbers before you attempt this so you are very accomplished at when this scheme becomes a losing proposition rather than a profitable one.
