Bet Big and Gain A Bit in Craps
If you decide to use this approach you want to have a very large amount of cash and amazing discipline to walk away when you realize a tiny win. For the benefit of this story, a sample buy in of $2,000 is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are certainly not deemed the "successful way to compete" and the horn bet itself has a casino edge well over 12 %.
All you are betting is 5 dollars on the pass line and ONE number from the horn. It does not matter if it is a "craps" or "yo" as long as you play it at all times. The Yo is more prominent with players using this approach for obvious reasons.
Buy in for $2,000 when you approach the table however only put five dollars on the passline and $1 on either the two, three, eleven, or 12. If it wins, awesome, if it does not win press to two dollars. If it does not win again, press to $4 and then to $8, then to sixteen dollars and after that add a $1.00 every subsequent bet. Every time you lose, bet the previous amount plus a further dollar.
Using this approach, if for example after fifteen tosses, the number you chose (11) hasn’t been tosses, you without doubt should step away. Although, this is what could happen.
On the 10th toss, you have a total of one hundred and twenty six dollars in the game and the YO at long last hits, you amass $315 with a take of one hundred and eighty nine dollars. Now is a good time to walk away as it is higher than what you joined the table with.
If the YO doesn’t hit until the twentieth toss, you will have a total investment of $391 and seeing as current action is at $31, you come away with $465 with your profit being $74.
As you can see, using this system with only a $1.00 "press," your take becomes smaller the more you gamble on without succeeding. This is why you should go away once you have won or you should bet a "full press" once more and then carry on with the $1.00 increase with each roll.
Crunch some numbers at home before you attempt this so you are very familiar at when this scheme becomes a non-winning proposition instead of a profitable one.
