If you decide to use this approach you must have a sizable amount of money and remarkable fortitude to step away when you realize a tiny success. For the purposes of this essay, a sample buy in of two thousand dollars is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are certainly not considered the "winning way to play" and the horn bet itself has a house edge well over twelve percent.
All you are wagering is $5 on the pass line and a single number from the horn. It does not matter if it is a "craps" or "yo" as long as you wager it always. The Yo is more common with gamblers using this approach for clear reasons.
Buy in for $2,000 when you join the table however only put five dollars on the passline and one dollar on one of the two, three, eleven, or twelve. If it wins, great, if it loses press to $2. If it does not win again, press to $4 and continue on to eight dollars, then to $16 and following that add a one dollar every subsequent bet. Every time you do not win, bet the previous value plus another dollar.
Using this system, if for example after 15 rolls, the number you wagered on (11) has not been tosses, you surely should march away. Although, this is what possibly could develop.
On the tenth roll, you have a total of one hundred and twenty six dollars in the game and the YO finally hits, you earn three hundred and fifteen dollars with a profit of one hundred and eighty nine dollars. Now is an excellent time to walk away as it is higher than what you entered the game with.
If the YO does not hit until the twentieth toss, you will have a complete wager of $391 and because your current wager is at $31, you amass $465 with your gain being $74.
As you can see, using this system with only a $1.00 "press," your gain becomes smaller the longer you wager on without succeeding. That is why you have to march away once you have won or you must wager a "full press" again and then advance on with the $1.00 increase with each hand.
Carefully go over the data before you attempt this so you are very accomplished at when this scheme becomes a non-winning proposition instead of a profitable one.
