Bet A Lot and Gain Small in Craps

If you decide to use this approach you must have a sizable bankroll and incredible discipline to go 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 not always seen as the "winning way to wager" and the horn bet itself carries a house advantage well over twelve percent.

All you are gambling is five 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 routinely. The Yo is more established with people using this scheme for obvious reasons.

Buy in for $2,000 when you join the table but put only five dollars on the passline and one dollar on either the 2, three, 11, or 12. If it wins, awesome, if it loses press to $2. If it does not win again, press to four dollars and then to $8, then to $16 and after that add a one dollar every time. Each instance you do not win, bet the previous value plus one more dollar.

Using this scheme, if for example after fifteen rolls, the number you selected (11) has not been tosses, you likely should walk away. Although, this is what might happen.

On the 10th roll, you have a sum of $126 in the game and the YO finally hits, you win three hundred and fifteen dollars with a profit of $189. Now is an excellent time to step away as it’s more than what you joined the game with.

If the YO doesn’t hit until the twentieth toss, you will have a total wager of $391 and because your current bet is at $31, you gain $465 with your profit of $74.

As you can see, adopting this approach with only a $1.00 "press," your profit margin becomes smaller the longer you play on without hitting. That is why you must walk away once you have won or you must bet a "full press" again and then advance on with the $1.00 mark up with each roll.

Crunch some numbers at home before you try this so you are very accomplished at when this scheme becomes a non-winning proposition rather than a profitable one.
