What Do You Think of This Craps Strategy?

Dear Frank,
I just thought of this but haven't tried it at a casino.
What if you
bet
$100 on the Don't Pass line and $25 on the Pass Line? Then you roll.
Assume
that you hit a number (not a 2,3,7, or 12); let's say 10. Then you back up
your
pass line bet with $75. If you hit the 9 you get 1 to 1 on your $25 and 2
to 1
on your $75, and you lose the $100 Don't Pass bet. The overall is +$50.
The
worst case scenario is a 7 or 11 hits coming out and you lose the $100
Don't
Pass and get $50 for the Pass Line bet. If you hit a 2 or 3 coming out
you win
$100 on the Don't Pass and you lose the $25 Pass Line Bet.
Anyway, think
about
it. I ran a simulation and was up $500 after 30 min at these bets.
Basically I
want to know if casinos will let you do this. Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Phil
Yes, Phil, the casinos will let you do this because it is a losing strategy.
