While the majority of craps players are "right" bettors, from a strategic point of view, betting "wrong" is just as capable of winning as betting "right". The odds are basically the same (in fact, there is an extremely minute advantage in favor of wrong betting). Still players feel uncomfortable about having to "lay" odds (putting down more money on free-odds then will be won).
Start by making a two unit bet (in this case $10 or two $5 chips) on the Don't Pass Bar. If you win with a craps, pick up your winnings but leave your original $10 bet. If a natural (7 or 11) comes up and you lose, make another $10 bet on the Pass Line. Once a point is established, you would lay full double odds on your bet. By "laying" odds you are putting down more than what you will win. If the point is 4 or 10, the lay odds would be $40 for a potential payoff of $20 (2-1). If the point is 5 or 9, the lay odds would be $30 for a potential payoff of $20 (3-2). If the point is 6 or 8, the lay odds would be $24 for a potential payoff of $20 (6-5).
Now make a $10 bet on the Don't Come. Follow the same rules as above being sure to lay the full double odds once your Don't Come point is established. Follow this bet with yet another $10 Don't Come bet with full double odds. You now have three numbers working "against" you (one on the Don't Pass Line and two Don't Come bets).
If you find yourself in the middle of a "Cold Roll" you should take advantage of this by making yet another Don't Come bet. Eventually, you should double your original two unit bet by making a $20 bet on the Don't Come rather than $10. But you should only do this after you are ahead by at least 20 units (in this case $100).
IMPORTANT: You should only increase your bet during a "Cold Roll" (remember the house always has an advantage).
