Navigating the Horn

Roger and Gail, some friends of mine, met me one day in Las Vegas at the craps tables. Roger had played before but Gail hadn't. She kept staring at the center spread prop bets, specifically the 12 and the 2.
"Look at that," she said, "thirty to one! Does that mean if I bet $1 I win $30?"
"Pretty much," I said, "In fact you can bet on all of the four bets at once. You can bet $1 on the 2, 12 11 and 3. The 2 and 12 pay 30 to one and the 3 and 11 pay 15 to 1. If you bet all four it's called a horn bet. But, these are all one roll bets, so if the next roll is anything except a horn number, you lose all four bets."
Just then, as if on cue, someone yelled out "Horn High!" and Gail's Bette Davis eyes got even larger.
"What's that?" she exclaimed, "A Horn High?"
"Well, the highest number is a twelve. So, instead of betting $1 on each of the horn numbers, he bet $1 each on 2, 3 and 11, and $2 on the twelve."
"Wow, can I do that?"
"Well, sure, but it's not a particularly good bet. The payoff is high because the chances of hitting are low. Plus, when you win one bet, you lose the other three."
Roger, Gail's husband, already had a $5 bet on the pass line with double odds on the 5 point, and two come bets on the 8 and 9, both with double odds. He looked at us and snickered.
"Horn bets. You should teach her something sensible, like pass and two come bets."
I shrugged at Roger and turned to Gail. "Besides the Horn High, there are two other horn bets. The Horn High Yo, which is $2 on the 11 and $1 on the other numbers. You can also bet Horn Low, which is $2 on the 2 and $1 on the other three numbers. And of course you can also bet the horn, which is $1 on all four numbers. The Horn High Bet pays 30:1 so your $2 bet will win you $60, less the other $3. "
"I want the horn bet," Gail said, and that was that.
"Okay. Well, just give the dealer $5."
"Horn High," she said proudly, tossing the dealer a $5 bill.
Roger snickered again. "They should call it a Horn Ha bet! Ha Ha Ha!"
Gail just glared at him.
The shooter, who was taking his time and setting the dice, finally tossed them. We all watched the slow arch, Gail closing her eyes and crossing her fingers. They settled on two sixes! Gail and the other horn better had each won $60 on one throw!
Gail's eyes got big again and she jumped up and down, screaming "I won I Won!"
The dealer interrupted her and asked if she wanted the bet left up and she said no, so she received a total of $57.
The shooter sevened out right after Roger won one of his come bets. He lost two bets so he didn't congratulate Gail at all on her horn high. He probably won't tell any of her friends either. I guess she'll just have to toot her own horn.

Prove to yourself that the system really works, before you risk your money at the casino. Just stand near a table and record a series of consecutive spins, then see how well you would have done, had you been playing the SUPERIOR system. Better yet, download free roulette software and practice at home.

Here’s what one happy customer wrote:

"I have been playing the Superior Roulette System on the internet and have been winning about $100-$150 per hour. At one time I was down 72 units but it has always recovered. Sometimes, if I am catching a bad run of numbers, I just switch to one of the other outside bets. A key is to watch the posting board in order to see a trend developing ".
