Bet A Lot and Earn Little playing Craps

If you consider using this approach you really want to have a very large pocket book and incredible discipline to leave when you realize a small win. For the purposes of this story, an example buy in of two thousand dollars is used.

The Horn Bet numbers are surely not considered the "winning way to wager" and the horn bet itself carries a house advantage well over twelve percent.

All you are betting is 5 dollars on the pass line and ONE number from the horn. It doesn’t matter if it is a "craps" or "yo" as long as you bet it consistently. The Yo is more established with gamblers using this scheme for clear reasons.

Buy in for two thousand dollars when you join the table however put only $5.00 on the passline and one dollar on one of the 2, 3, 11, or twelve. If it wins, beautiful, 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 sixteen dollars and after that add a $1.00 each subsequent bet. Each instance you don’t win, bet the last value plus another dollar.

Using this system, if for example after 15 rolls, the number you bet on (11) has not been thrown, you likely should step away. However, this is what could happen.

On the 10th roll, you have a sum of one hundred and twenty six dollars in the game and the YO finally hits, you gain $315 with a profit of $189. Now is a great time to march away as it is higher than what you joined the game with.

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

As you can see, using this approach with only a $1.00 "press," your take becomes tinier the more you wager on without hitting. That is why you have to leave away once you have won or you have to bet a "full press" once again and then carry on with the $1.00 mark up with each hand.

Crunch some numbers at home before you attempt this so you are very familiar at when this approach becomes a losing affair rather than a winning one.
