If you consider using this system you need to have a very big amount of cash and awesome discipline to leave when you realize a tiny success. For the benefit of this story, an example buy in of $2,000 is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are not always looked at as the "successful way to compete" and the horn bet itself has a casino advantage of over 12 %.
All you are playing is five dollars 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 play it routinely. The Yo is more established with people using this approach for obvious reasons.
Buy in for two thousand dollars when you join the table however only put $5.00 on the passline and $1 on one of the two, 3, 11, or twelve. If it wins, beautiful, if it loses press to two dollars. If it does not win again, press to $4 and continue on to eight dollars, then to sixteen dollars and after that add a one dollar every time. Each instance you do not win, bet the previous value plus a further dollar.
Using this system, if for instance after 15 tosses, the number you chose (11) has not been tosses, you really should march away. Although, this is what possibly could develop.
On the tenth toss, you have a sum total of one hundred and twenty six dollars on the table and the YO finally hits, you gain three hundred and fifteen dollars with a gain of $189. Now is a great time to walk away as it is more than what you joined the game with.
If the YO does not hit until the 20th toss, 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 system with just a one dollar "press," your gain becomes smaller the longer you bet on without hitting. This is why you should go away once you have won or you must wager a "full press" once more and then continue on with the $1.00 mark up with each toss.
Crunch some numbers at home before you attempt this so you are very familiar at when this scheme becomes a losing affair rather than a profitable one.
