If you decide to use this system you need to have a very large pocket book and amazing discipline to step away when you realize a small win. For the benefit of this story, a figurative buy in of $2,000 is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are surely not judged the "winning way to play" and the horn bet itself carries a casino edge well over 12 %.
All you are playing is $5 on the pass line and a single number from the horn. It does not matter whether it is a "craps" or "yo" as long as you wager it constantly. The Yo is more common with people using this approach for obvious reasons.
Buy in for $2,000 when you sit down at the table however only put five dollars on the passline and $1 on one of the 2, 3, 11, or 12. If it wins, great, if it loses press to two dollars. If it loses again, press to four dollars and continue on to $8, then to $16 and following that add a one dollar every subsequent bet. Every instance you lose, bet the last amount plus another dollar.
Using this scheme, if for example after fifteen rolls, the number you selected (11) has not been thrown, you probably should walk away. However, this is what possibly could develop.
On the tenth toss, you have a sum of one hundred and twenty six dollars on the table and the YO finally hits, you amass three hundred and fifteen dollars with a take of $189. Now is a great time to march away as it is more than what you entered the table with.
If the YO does not hit until the twentieth toss, you will have a total bet of $391 and seeing as current action is at $31, you earn $465 with your profit of $74.
As you can see, employing this scheme with only a one dollar "press," your profit margin becomes smaller the more you play on without succeeding. This is why you should step away once you have won or you have to bet a "full press" again and then carry on with the one dollar boost with each hand.
Crunch some numbers at home before you try this so you are very accomplished at when this scheme becomes a losing proposition rather than a profitable one.
