If you commit to using this approach you need to have a very large amount of money and amazing fortitude to march away when you realize a small win. For the purposes of this material, a figurative buy in of $2,000 is used.

The Horn Bet numbers are certainly not considered the "winning way to compete" and the horn bet itself carries a house advantage of over 12 %.

All you are playing is 5 dollars on the pass line and a single number from the horn. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a "craps" or "yo" as long as you bet it always. The Yo is more common with people using this approach for apparent reasons.

Buy in for $2,000 when you join the table however only put five dollars on the passline and one dollar on either the 2, three, 11, or twelve. 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 sixteen dollars and following that add a $1.00 each subsequent wager. Each instance you lose, bet the previous wager plus another dollar.

Using this approach, if for instance after 15 tosses, the number you chose (11) has not been tosses, you likely should march away. Although, this is what might happen.

On the tenth roll, you have a sum of $126 in the game and the YO finally hits, you win three hundred and fifteen dollars with a take of $189. Now is a great time to go away as it’s higher than what you joined the table with.

If the YO does not hit until the 20th roll, you will have a complete bet of $391 and seeing as current bet is at $31, you gain $465 with your gain being $74.

As you can see, employing this scheme with just a $1.00 "press," your gain becomes smaller the longer you gamble on without hitting. This is why you have to go away after a win or you have to bet a "full press" once more and then continue on with the $1.00 mark up with each hand.

Crunch some numbers at home before you attempt this so you are very familiar at when this system becomes a losing adventure rather than a winning one.
