Bet Large and Win Little playing Craps

If you choose to use this system you really want to have a very large amount of cash and incredible fortitude to step away when you achieve a small win. For the purposes of this article, a figurative buy in of $2,000 is used.

The Horn Bet numbers are surely not seen as the "successful way to compete" and the horn bet itself carries a house edge well over twelve percent.

All you are betting is 5 dollars on the pass line and a single number from the horn. It does not matter whether it’s a "craps" or "yo" as long as you gamble it consistently. The Yo is more prominent with players using this scheme for clear reasons.

Buy in for $2,000 when you join the table but only put $5.00 on the passline and one dollar on either the 2, three, 11, or twelve. If it wins, awesome, if it loses press to two dollars. If it loses again, press to four dollars and then to $8, then to $16 and after that add a one dollar every subsequent wager. Every instance you do not win, bet the previous value plus another dollar.

Adopting this scheme, if for instance after fifteen rolls, the number you chose (11) hasn’t been tosses, you surely should step away. However, this is what might happen.

On the 10th toss, you have a sum of one hundred and twenty six dollars on the table and the YO at long last hits, you amass $315 with a profit of $189. Now is a perfect time to march away as it’s higher than what you entered the game with.

If the YO does not hit until the 20th toss, you will have a complete investment of $391 and because your current wager is at $31, you win $465 with your gain being $74.

As you can see, adopting this system with just a one dollar "press," your gain becomes tinier the longer you wager on without winning. This is why you have to leave away after a win or you must wager a "full press" again and then carry on with the one dollar boost with each hand.

Crunch the data at home before you attempt this so you are very adept at when this scheme becomes a non-winning proposition rather than a winning one.
