200GH/s in 24 hours will earn you 0.01643559BTC, or $5.73 at current exchange rate.
Does that sound like a good deal to you?
Also, exchange rate should fall a bit more.

Nope, not at all.  $10 dollars and you still lose out on roughly $3 dollars.

None of those 24 hour mining contracts are worth it at all.  Better to just buy BTC at the moment.

use this calculator when making decisions about mining https://cex.io/calc.  Mining is generally not profitable.  Profit, in mining, is about getting more coins than what you started with; it is not about making more money(fiat) than you started with.  When you understand this, then you understand mining.
