If you decide to use this scheme you need to have a vast amount of money and incredible fortitude to go away when you acquire a small success. For the purposes of this story, a sample buy in of $2,000 is used.

The Horn Bet numbers are not always looked at as the "winning way to compete" and the horn bet itself carries a house edge of over 12 %.

All you are wagering 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 play it routinely. The Yo is more established with gamblers using this scheme for apparent reasons.

Buy in for two thousand dollars when you join the table but put only five dollars on the passline and $1 on either the 2, three, eleven, or 12. If it wins, excellent, if it does not win press to $2. If it does not win again, press to four dollars and continue on to eight dollars, then to sixteen dollars and following that add a one dollar every subsequent bet. Every time you don’t win, bet the last bet plus a further dollar.

Adopting this approach, if for example after 15 rolls, the number you bet on (11) hasn’t been tosses, you probably should walk away. However, this is what could happen.

On the 10th roll, you have a total of $126 in the game and the YO finally hits, you come away with three hundred and fifteen dollars with a take of $189. Now is a great time to walk away as it is more than what you entered the game with.

If the YO does not hit until the 20th roll, you will have a total investment of $391 and because your current action is at $31, you win $465 with your take of $74.

As you can see, adopting this system with just a one dollar "press," your profit margin becomes smaller the longer you play on without succeeding. That is why you have to leave away once you have won or you have to wager a "full press" again and then continue on with the one dollar increase with each roll.

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