Bet Big and Gain Little playing Craps

If you decide to use this approach you really want to have a very big pocket book and superior discipline to march away when you acquire a small win. For the purposes of this material, a sample buy in of $2,000 is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are certainly not judged the "winning way to play" and the horn bet itself carries a casino edge of over 12 %.
All you are playing is five dollars on the pass line and a single number from the horn. It doesn’t matter if it’s a "craps" or "yo" as long as you play it consistently. The Yo is more established with players using this system for apparent reasons.
Buy in for $2,000 when you approach the table however put only five dollars on the passline and one dollar on either the two, 3, 11, or twelve. If it wins, fantastic, if it loses press to $2. If it does not win again, press to four dollars and continue on to $8, then to sixteen dollars and following that add a one dollar each time. Every time you do not win, bet the last value plus another dollar.
Using this system, if for example after 15 rolls, the number you chose (11) has not been thrown, you really should march away. However, this is what could develop.
On the tenth roll, you have a sum of $126 in the game and the YO at long last hits, you gain three hundred and fifteen dollars with a profit of $189. Now is a great time to march away as it’s higher than what you joined the game 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 gain being $74.
As you can see, adopting this approach with only a one dollar "press," your gain becomes tinier the longer you play on without attaining a win. This is why you have to step away after a win or you should bet a "full press" again and then continue on with the $1.00 increase with each roll.
Crunch the data at home before you try this so you are very familiar at when this approach becomes a non-winning affair instead of a profitable one.
