It depends on the context. If someone says "I raised $200" the person raised to a total bet of (Original Bet)+$200.

If a dealer calls out "raised $200" he usually means raised to $200.

I think this is because the dealer is saying "raised, 200."

When a poster says he raised 200 dollars, in my experience he or she typically means raised BY $200. You're right though, people should always be clear, and you should press them if you're not sure.
