If you decide to use this system you need to have a sizeable bankroll and incredible discipline to walk away when you realise a small win. For the purposes of this article and example buy in of $2,000 is used.

The Horn Bet numbers are not always considered the “winning way to play” and the horn bet itself carries a house edge of over 12%. However, the numbers in the horn are the all you should consider when using this system.

All you are playing is $5 on the pass line and ONE number from the horn. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a “craps” or “yo” as long as you play it consistently. The Yo is more popular with people using this system for obvious reasons.

Buy in for $2000 when you join the table but put only $5.00 on the passline and $1 on either the 2, 3, 11, or 12. If it wins, great, if it loses press to $2. If it loses again, press to $4 and then to $8, then to $16 and after that add a $1.00 each time. Every time you lose, bet the previous amount plus another dollar.

Using this system, if for instance after 15 rolls, the number you chose (11) hasn’t been thrown, you probably should walk away. However, this is what could happen.

On the tenth roll, you have a total of $126 in the game and the YO finally hits, you win $315 with a profit of $189. Now is a good time to walk away as it is a lot more than what you entered the table with.

If the YO doesn’t hit until the twentieth roll, you will have a total investment of $391 and because your current bet is at $31, you win $465 with your profit at $74.

As you can see, using this system with only a $1.00 “press,” your profit margin becomes smaller the longer you play on without winning. That is why you must walk away after a win or you must bet a “full press” again and then continue on with the $1.00 increase with each hand.

Crunch some numbers at home before you try this so you are very familiar at when this system becomes a losing proposition instead of a profitable one.
