If you commit to using this scheme you really want to have a very big amount of cash and incredible discipline to walk away when you achieve a tiny success. For the purposes of this article, an example buy in of $2,000 is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are certainly not seen as the "successful way to compete" and the horn bet itself carries a house edge well over twelve percent.
All you are playing 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 gamble it at all times. The Yo is more common with gamblers using this approach for clear reasons.
Buy in for $2,000 when you sit down at the table however only put five dollars on the passline and one dollar on one of the two, 3, eleven, or twelve. If it wins, great, if it loses press to two dollars. If it loses again, press to $4 and continue on to $8, then to $16 and after that add a $1.00 each subsequent wager. Each instance you don’t win, bet the last value plus one more dollar.
Using this system, if for example after fifteen tosses, the number you selected (11) hasn’t been thrown, you likely should walk away. Although, this is what could happen.
On the tenth toss, you have a total of $126 on the table and the YO finally hits, you earn three hundred and fifteen dollars with a take of $189. Now is a great time to walk away as it is higher than what you entered the table with.
If the YO doesn’t hit until the twentieth toss, you will have a complete wager of $391 and seeing as current action is at $31, you come away with $465 with your take being $74.
As you can see, employing this system with just a one dollar "press," your profit margin becomes smaller the longer you wager on without attaining a win. This is why you must walk away once you have won or you should bet a "full press" once more and then carry on with the one dollar mark up with each hand.
Carefully go over the numbers before you try this so you are very accomplished at when this approach becomes a losing affair instead of a winning one.
