Craps- Pressing Bets

[bosoxx05]

Hey guys, I only know the very basics to craps (only played a few times) and don't have any pressing strategies that I'm comfortable with. I've read a little bit about the slow press system and level press system.

The other night at a casino, I was watching a $10 craps table, during which some kid was having an outstanding roll. He had to have rolled about seven eights along with a few points. At this point I was watching a guy at the end of the table. He kept pressing whenever an eight hit, however the more he pressed, the more money he received as well as additional money going onto the place bet.

I'm sorry for the vague description, I was wondering how this was possible for him to be receiving a lot of money as well as substantially increasing his place bet. I assumed he was just pressing 1 unit, but I never heard him say it and am not sharp enough yet to understand the terminology between him and the dealers that was being discussed when pressing his bets.

Again sorry for the vague description, but I was wondering if anyone could help me with what was going on in the situation described above. Also, what pressing system do you use?
