Bet Large and Earn Little playing Craps
If you commit to using this system you really want to have a very large amount of cash and remarkable discipline to march away when you realize a tiny success. For the purposes of this essay, an example buy in of two thousand dollars is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are certainly not seen as the "winning way to compete" and the horn bet itself carries a house edge well over 12 %.
All you are playing is 5 dollars on the pass line and a single number from the horn. It does not matter whether it’s a "craps" or "yo" as long as you play it at all times. The Yo is more dominant with people using this system for clear reasons.
Buy in for two thousand dollars when you sit down at the table but put only five dollars on the passline and one dollar on one of the two, 3, 11, or 12. If it wins, beautiful, if it does not win press to $2. If it loses again, press to four dollars and continue on to eight dollars, then to sixteen dollars and after that add a $1.00 each subsequent bet. Every time you do not win, bet the last bet plus an additional dollar.
Using this approach, if for example after fifteen tosses, the number you wagered on (11) hasn’t been thrown, you probably should walk away. However, this is what might happen.
On the tenth roll, you have a sum total of $126 in the game and the YO at long last hits, you come away with three hundred and fifteen dollars with a gain of $189. Now is a good time to march away as it’s higher than what you entered the game with.
If the YO does not hit until the 20th roll, you will have a total bet of $391 and seeing as current bet is at $31, you come away with $465 with your gain being $74.
As you can see, using this approach with only a one dollar "press," your profit margin becomes smaller the longer you play on without succeeding. That is why you must march away after a win or you should bet a "full press" once more and then carry on with the one dollar boost with each hand.
Crunch some numbers at home before you attempt this so you are very adept at when this approach becomes a losing adventure instead of a winning one.
