Bet Big and Win Little in Craps


[ English | Deutsch | Español | Français | Italiano ]

If you consider using this scheme you need to have a sizable bankroll and amazing discipline to step away when you accrue a tiny win. For the purposes of this material, an example buy in of $2,000 is used.

The Horn Bet numbers are certainly not seen as the "successful way to compete" and the horn bet itself has a casino edge of over twelve percent.

All you are betting is $5 on the pass line and a single number from the horn. It doesn’t matter whether it is a "craps" or "yo" as long as you play it at all times. The Yo is more prominent with people using this scheme for obvious reasons.

Buy in for $2,000 when you join the table but only put five dollars on the passline and $1 on either the 2, three, eleven, or 12. If it wins, fantastic, if it does not win press to two dollars. If it loses again, press to four dollars and continue on to eight dollars, then to $16 and following that add a one dollar each subsequent bet. Each instance you don’t win, bet the last bet plus a further dollar.

Employing this approach, if for instance after fifteen tosses, the number you bet on (11) has not been thrown, you likely should step away. Although, this is what might happen.

On the tenth roll, you have a total of $126 on the table and the YO finally hits, you amass $315 with a gain of $189. Now is an excellent time to walk away as it’s more than what you joined the table with.

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

As you can see, using this scheme with just a $1.00 "press," your gain becomes tinier the longer you gamble on without succeeding. This is why you should walk away after a win or you have to bet a "full press" once more and then continue on with the $1.00 mark up with each toss.

Crunch some numbers at home before you attempt this so you are very accomplished at when this approach becomes a losing adventure instead of a winning one.
