Professor H's Don't Pass Strategy

Best Strategy For Playing Craps
Professor H's method of play on the don't is intended to accomplish two things:
(1) playing time, and (2) occasional comparatively large wins.
Lay odds progressively, increasing the don't pass line bet only after reaching the maximum table odds.
To lay odds progressively, use an odds table similar to the one below. This odds table is for use with an initial don't pass line bet of $5 beginning with 1x odds.
The far left column contains the number of consecutive 7-outs, the line bet, and the odds won in multiples of the line bet.
The columns under the point numbers contain the dollar amount of the odds laid, and, in bold, the payoff on the odds.
This table begins with 1x odds, increasing to 2x after three consecutive 7-outs.
Naturals and craps are ignored when counting consecutive 7-outs.
After the third 7-out in a row, the total amount won increases by one initial line bet ($5 in this case) with each successive win. In other words, row 3 wins a total of $10, row 4 $15, row 5 $20, row 6 $25, row 7 $30, and so on. This progression is conservative, and results from some odds wagers winning fractional multiples of the line bet when the line bet is $10.
Do not make any don't come bets. (If you have a bankroll large enough to make don't come bets, begin with 2x or 3x odds, rather than 1x odds.)
After any point is made (won), start over at line 1.
To minimize losses to a run of winning points, either (1) switch to the pass line, playing your favorite pass line method, (2) do not lay odds on the don't pass line bet, or (3) stop betting on the shooter until he/she sevens-out.
