Wager Large and Earn Little in Craps
If you choose to use this approach you want to have a sizable bankroll and incredible discipline to leave when you earn a small success. For the purposes of this story, a sample buy in of two thousand dollars is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are certainly not judged the "winning way to compete" and the horn bet itself carries a casino edge of over 12 %.
All you are betting 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 bet it consistently. The Yo is more popular with people using this scheme for obvious reasons.
Buy in for two thousand dollars when you join the table however only put $5.00 on the passline and one dollar on either the two, 3, eleven, or 12. If it wins, beautiful, if it does not win press to two dollars. If it loses again, press to $4 and then to eight dollars, then to $16 and after that add a $1.00 every subsequent bet. Each time you do not win, bet the last bet plus another dollar.
Using this system, if for instance after fifteen rolls, the number you bet on (11) has not been tosses, you likely should go away. However, this is what might happen.
On the 10th toss, you have a total of $126 in the game and the YO finally hits, you amass three hundred and fifteen dollars with a gain of one hundred and eighty nine dollars. Now is a good time to walk away as it’s a lot more 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 action is at $31, you gain $465 with your profit of $74.
As you can see, adopting this scheme with just a one dollar "press," your profit margin becomes smaller the longer you wager on without attaining a win. That is why you must walk away after a win or you have to wager a "full press" once more and then advance on with the one dollar increase with each toss.
Carefully go over the numbers before you try this so you are very adept at when this approach becomes a losing proposition instead of a winning one.
