Frequently asked questions
Why is 11 called yo?
To avoid confusion with 'seven' on a noisy table, dealers say 'yo' or 'yo-leven' instead of eleven. The two sound too much alike when called quickly.
How much does the Yo pay?
It pays 15:1. An 11 rolls two ways out of 36, so the true odds are 17:1. The gap between 15:1 and 17:1 is the house's 11.11% edge.
Is the Yo a good bet?
No. It is a fun one-roll toss, often bet on the come-out, but at 11.11% it costs far more than the line bets. Treat it as entertainment, not strategy.
