Bet A Lot and Gain Little in Craps
If you commit to using this approach you must have a sizable pocket book and remarkable discipline to march away when you achieve a small win. For the purposes of this story, an example buy in of $2,000 is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are certainly not judged the "successful way to compete" and the horn bet itself has a house advantage well over 12 %.
All you are betting is five dollars on the pass line and a single number from the horn. It does not matter if it’s a "craps" or "yo" as long as you bet it always. The Yo is more common with people using this scheme for apparent reasons.
Buy in for $2,000 when you sit down at the table but put only five dollars on the passline and $1 on either the two, three, 11, or 12. If it wins, great, if it loses press to $2. If it loses again, press to four dollars and continue on to $8, then to sixteen dollars and after that add a $1.00 every subsequent wager. Each time you lose, bet the previous amount plus another dollar.
Adopting this system, if for instance after fifteen rolls, the number you wagered on (11) has not been tosses, you without doubt should step away. Although, this is what might develop.
On the tenth roll, you have a total of $126 on the table and the YO at long last hits, you win three hundred and fifteen dollars with a gain of one hundred and eighty nine dollars. Now is a good time to march away as it is higher than what you entered the table with.
If the YO does not hit until the twentieth roll, you will have a complete investment of $391 and seeing as current bet is at $31, you amass $465 with your take of $74.
As you can see, adopting this scheme with only a $1.00 "press," your profit margin becomes tinier the longer you play on without attaining a win. This is why you have to leave away once you have won or you must wager a "full press" once again and then continue on with the $1.00 boost with each toss.
Carefully go over the numbers before you attempt this so you are very accomplished at when this approach becomes a non-winning adventure instead of a winning one.
