Betting by Point Number

I just came back from Vegas in which I won about $2,200.  I brought $300 to the table.

  • I began by using a $15 (I used $15 all the time) place bet.
  • Then, if the point is a 4, 9, or 10 I put $30 on 6 and $30 on 8, $25 on 5, and $10 on the field. I specifically don't play the odds so that I may use that money on the 6 and 8 which are more likely to hit.  
  • I wait for three hits (since 4 is about the average time before a 7 appears) and then take all money down.  
  • If the point is 6 or 8, I moved the $30 from one number and pressed it on the other. I would also take full odds.  
  • If the 5 is point, I put $30 on both 6 and 8, $10 on the field and match my $15 place bet with $15 odds.  

Using this method I was able to make about $500 in about 30 minutes. Now using about $500 of the houses money, I would use the same  method, but increase my 6 and 8 bets (given a 4, 9, or 10 is the point) to $90 or $120 each.  I also then placed $50 on 5 and $25 on the field and still using a $15 place bet. Two or three hits and I take down. A few times I got a little greedy and lost about $400 after already hitting 3 times. If I wasn't so greedy I could have easily had about $3000 more to my winning, but we live and learn. The numbers may not add up as far as the odds are concerned, but the bottom line is that once I started using the house's money I increased my bets to the point that at any one time if I didn't hit I would be right back where I started from and not in the negative.

Just to add, I don't do odds bets on 4, 9, and 10. I play the field which concentrates more money on more numbers to include the 4, 9, 10.  Also, the field bet should be more than the place bet if the point is 5.  This way I still make money if the point is made.
