If you consider using this scheme you need to have a very big bankroll and awesome discipline to leave when you generate a small success. For the benefit of this story, a sample buy in of two thousand dollars is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are surely not considered the "successful way to compete" and the horn bet itself carries a house edge well over twelve percent.
All you are gambling is $5 on the pass line and ONE number from the horn. It does not matter whether it’s a "craps" or "yo" as long as you bet it always. The Yo is more prominent with players using this approach for apparent reasons.
Buy in for $2,000 when you sit down at the table however put only five dollars on the passline and $1 on one of the 2, 3, 11, or twelve. 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 after that add a $1.00 each subsequent bet. Each time you lose, bet the last bet plus a further dollar.
Adopting this system, if for example after fifteen rolls, the number you selected (11) hasn’t been tosses, you probably should march away. However, this is what could happen.
On the 10th roll, you have a total of $126 in the game and the YO finally hits, you win $315 with a gain of one hundred and eighty nine dollars. Now is a great time to step away as it is higher than what you entered the game with.
If the YO doesn’t hit until the twentieth roll, you will have a complete bet of $391 and seeing as current action is at $31, you gain $465 with your gain of $74.
As you can see, using this approach with only a one dollar "press," your profit margin becomes smaller the more you bet on without winning. This is why you have to walk away once you have won or you have to wager a "full press" once more and then continue on with the $1.00 mark up with each hand.
Crunch some numbers at home before you try this so you are very accomplished at when this approach becomes a losing adventure instead of a winning one.
