Progressive Don't Bet

First time posting a betting angle here. Appreciate input. Like many small bankrollers I like to be engaged, but not to have exposure to my $300 - 350 bankroll. After many failures betting the pass line and come or place bet combinations, I have spent some time looking at different ways of going to the dark side. I tried it today at Casino Rama in Orillia Ontario, about an hour and a half north of my home near Toronto. They are down to one $10 table from three originally. Hope I describe my play well enough. I go 25-35-50 DON'T. No hedge on the 25 bet, if 6 or 8, I go $2 Hardway, and go Three rolls. If not hit, Place for$12, leave up the Hardway, and hope for a 7. 5/9 I go Three rolls, as with all the box numbers. If no 5/9,place the 6 and 8, for 12 each and two hits. Press if you like. Then place bets off, and place for $10. Same formula. 4/10, three rolls, 6/8 for $12 each, ONE hit press to $18, Two hits, $44 inside, and then down. The DON'T and wins cover the press, so no place. Why Three rolls? Time after time you get past the come out, place the 6/8,and 7 out. You get nothing. If the shooter is going to make the number, they are going to anyway, and you haven't moved money around for nothing. If $25 wins go 35,and $2 YO. If a win go $50 and back down to $25. Proportion the HW and place bets as you go up. Ok, come outs. If a 7, I go back down and Hop the 7. Two losses to one shooter, sit it out. Painful to watch, but DON'T needs discipline. If first bet wins whether on craps or 7 out, move up. How did I do? A table of 6 to 8 players, only saw one hot roll in two hours. Surprisingly, I rarely even got to make place bets, most rolls decided on come out or in a few rolls. I did go off of this play a bit, especially when I was shooting. But I know that I would have been better off sticking to the plan. I bought in for $300 and lost 50. Not bad, and looking forward to some tweeks.
