If you decide to use this scheme you must have a very large pocket book and awesome fortitude to leave when you acquire a small success. For the benefit of this story, an example buy in of two thousand dollars is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are not always seen as the "winning way to play" and the horn bet itself carries a house edge well over 12 %.
All you are gambling is five dollars 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 gamble it always. The Yo is more prominent with gamblers using this approach for obvious reasons.
Buy in for two thousand dollars when you join the table but put only five dollars on the passline and one dollar on one of the 2, three, 11, or 12. If it wins, awesome, if it does not win press to two dollars. If it loses again, press to four dollars and continue on to eight dollars, then to $16 and following that add a $1.00 each time. Each time you do not win, bet the last wager plus an additional dollar.
Adopting this approach, if for instance after fifteen tosses, the number you chose (11) has not been thrown, you likely should walk away. Although, this is what could develop.
On the 10th toss, you have a total of one hundred and twenty six dollars in the game and the YO finally hits, you come away with three hundred and fifteen dollars with a gain of $189. Now is a great time to march away as it’s a lot more than what you entered the game with.
If the YO doesn’t hit until the 20th toss, you will have a complete wager of $391 and seeing as current wager is at $31, you amass $465 with your gain of $74.
As you can see, adopting this scheme with just a $1.00 "press," your gain becomes tinier the more you wager on without hitting. This is why you have to leave away once you have won or you have to wager a "full press" once more and then carry on with the $1.00 mark up with each hand.
Carefully go over the numbers before you attempt this so you are very familiar at when this scheme becomes a non-winning proposition rather than a winning one.
