Craps Strategies

Wager Big and Gain Little in Craps

If you commit to using this system you want to have a sizable amount of cash and incredible discipline to march away when you realize a small win. For the purposes of this story, a sample buy in of $2,000 is used.

The Horn Bet numbers are not always judged the "successful way to wager" and the horn bet itself has a house edge of over 12 %.

All you are playing is $5 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 constantly. The Yo is more popular with players using this approach for apparent reasons.

Buy in for two thousand dollars when you join the table however only put $5.00 on the passline and $1 on either the 2, 3, 11, or twelve. If it wins, great, if it does not win press to $2. If it does not win again, press to four dollars and continue on to $8, then to $16 and after that add a $1.00 each time. Every time you do not win, bet the last wager plus another dollar.

Adopting this system, if for instance after fifteen rolls, the number you wagered on (11) hasn’t been thrown, you without doubt should march away. Although, this is what possibly could develop.

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 win three hundred and fifteen dollars with a gain of $189. Now is a great time to go away as it’s a lot more than what you joined the table with.

If the YO does not hit until the twentieth toss, you will have a complete investment of $391 and seeing as current action is at $31, you gain $465 with your gain being $74.

As you can see, adopting this approach with only a $1.00 "press," your gain becomes smaller the longer you gamble on without hitting. This is why you must march away once you have won or you must wager a "full press" once more and then carry on with the one dollar mark up with each toss.

Carefully go over the numbers before you attempt this so you are very accomplished at when this system becomes a non-winning proposition instead of a winning one.
