Not really enough information there to know.
 
If, in a single motion, you put out a stack / pile / whatever of chips then that stands as your bet / raise*.
 
It's only a string bet if you put out a bunch of chips in one motion, then go back to your stack and put out a second bunch of chips.
 
Just to make things fun, BTW, in some casinos the "betting line" is non-binding (ie: chips aren't necessarily construed as a bet and cards aren't assumed to be folded just because they're over the line) and different casinos have different ideas about what constitutes a betting motion (some say it's just forward motion, some say it's not a bet until you release the chips - see the hilarious Russian player's angle shoot during the 2008 Main Event).
 
In any case, if you verbally declare what you're going to do ([I]"Bet $50" [/I]or [I]"Raise $150 more"[/I]) then your verbal action is binding and you're allowed to go back to your stack as many times as you like to get the right number of chips out in front of you.
 
Always declare your bets verbally and you can't go wrong.
 
 
[SIZE=1]* Assuming that there's enough chips in your stack / pile / whatever to constitute at least the minimum bet or raise in the first place - some other fun stuff happens if you somehow manage to get that wrong.[/SIZE]
