What Is A Horn Bet In Craps

broken image


HORN BET: Although the 2, 3, 12 and 11 may be bet separately, this area is also known as the 'horn.' A player makes a horn bet by handing the bet to the dealer, calling out, for example, '$4 horn bet.' This would give him $1 on each of the four one-roll propositions. Payoff is 30 for 1 on a 2 or 12, A 3 or 11 pay 15-for-1. This is simply the opposite of the pass line bet and is also known as betting against the dice. To make this bet place your chips in the narrower section just beyond the pass line labelled don't pass. If the shooter rolls a 2 or 3 (Craps) than you win straight away (1:1 even money). A truly unique bet type, the Horn allows players to combine four individual wagers into one. The Horn covers all three Craps numbers (2,3 and 12) as well as the number 11. Some seasoned craps players opt for incorporating the Horn bet into their betting pattern to diversify their gameplay and add more excitement to their session. Inexperienced players, however, are recommended to refrain from experimenting with this more exotic bet type as the Horn is a higher-risk bet.

1/6 (1/36+2/36+2/36+1/36) and an average of 150 ((10*30+5*15+5*15+5*30)/4). Note this is average pay, disregarding frequency.
You're aware that 'horn high 12' is equivalent to 5 on 2/3/11 and 10 on 12, right? (And further, identical to hopping them manually.)

Thanks for this post from:
12 pays $285, still up to win. Make sure you are not on a short pay table such as Caesars paying 30 for 1. Aces pay $130. Ace Deuce and yo pay $55

DeMango, do you actually make this bet or is it that you simply are good at math and know this stuff?

A horn hi ace deuce is the only logical bet to make on the comeout, if one wishes to hedge. The don't player might wish to go horn hi yo. Lesser amounts of money to hedge is always better, an 11/12 for the DP, any craps for PL. But in the long run they all suck profit.
I wish someone would explain to me the logic behind 'High, Low, Yo' . What does it do beside sound good coming out of your mouth? Probably something to do with the spirit of stupid!

The hi-low yo is a great bet if you just add three pips to the '2' with a sharpie.
Otherwise awful bets if you play them every roll. Fine for giggles. Odds are still much better than a scratch-n-win. About the same as a terrible slot. Or a completely ineffective Video Poker player.
In otherwords if given $5 and be told, play the horn high (whatever) or take this $5 Crossword/Bingo scratch ticket, I'd take the horn-high every time.
----- You want the truth! You can't handle the truth!

Anyone who has ever joined the craps table for a few dice throws is familiar with the fact that this game has a lot to do with adhering to etiquette. This applies to players and employees alike as both sides are required to follow particular rules while at the table.

Thus, the chips for certain types of wagers can be placed only by members of the personnel like the boxman and the stickman, who actually is in direct control of the entire table.

Players, who wish to place Any Craps or Horn bets, for instance, are required to call out the wagers and simply toss their chips on the layout for the stickman to place in the respective betting box.

Of course, in order to make a wager, one is expected to have enough chips or money to exchange for more chips to play with. The reason for this is simple, most brick and mortar venues do not accept the so-called 'Call' bets at their craps tables so players are not allowed to participate in the game on credit.

The 'No Call Bets' Rule

It would be best to start by explaining in more detail what a call bet is.

When a player places a call bet, they practically have the dealer or another staff member book a bet for them provided that they don't have any chips left on the rack or enough money in hand to convert to more chips. The player simply announces or calls out what their wager should be and the casino extends credit to him or her.

More often than not, playing on credit is not an option as many gambling venues have introduced the 'No Call Bets' rule to their craps tables which prohibit players from calling out any last-moment wagers if they don't have enough chips on the rack to cover them.

Thus, if you only have a solitary $5 chip on the layout, but wish to place a $25 bet on 5 and 9, calling out your wager and fishing in your pocket for the other $20 will fail to produce the desired effect.

The dealer will announce 'No Call Bets' and will not accept your wager, simply because they are not permitted to do so.

You are expected to exchange your money for chips prior to calling out the bet so that the personnel can see your bill in plain view. This is to indicate you have sufficient funds to cover your wager, provided that you lose. If it was the other way around and you had a $100 chip on the layout, the dealer will announce 'It's a bet' to indicate your wager is accepted and then will return the remaining $50 to you.

There are several reasons why many gambling venues have enforced the 'No Call Bets' rule at their craps tables.

First of all, this rule aims to prevent scams from taking place at the casino's expense. Types of online gambling. Back in the day, unscrupulous players would simply join the craps table while the dice were in mid-air and would call out their bets, even if they had no chips on the layout or enough money to cover the wagers if they lost. If the number they've bet on showed up, they would practically collect winnings they are not entitled to and walk out.

Con artists, however, are not the only reason why the 'No Call Bets' rule exists.

Craps is an exceptionally fast-paced game and dealers often do not have sufficient time to properly arrange all chips on the layout as this would slow down the game and spoil it for the players. So the stickman is not required to necessarily place all wagers in their corresponding betting boxes in order for the bets to become valid.

The 'No Call Bet' rule could have been introduced to avoid confusion as originally the minimal stake at the craps table was 25 cents. So if someone called out a 'three fifty' bet in the very last moment, this could be interpreted in two ways, $3.50 and $350.

Today, cents are no longer accepted and chips with such denominations are not used in the game, but the 'No Call Bets' rule probably dates back to the period when they were.

Conclusion

As you can see, complying with certain rules while at the craps table is essential. Make sure you have a sufficient number of chips to cover your bets prior to calling them out when the dice are in mid-air. If you do run out of chips at a certain point, but do wish to continue playing, we recommend you exchange your money for more chips prior to calling out your bet as otherwise it may not be accepted.
