Being new to craps, I am looking for the best strategy. Are the odds always against me? Which bets give me the best "odds"?

Betting "behind the line" on your points is the best bet in craps, as the casino will pay you the true odds on those bets.

You will always have to have one bet, though -- your original point -- which is not being paid the true odds, and this is where the casino's edge comes from.

So when you see casino's offering things like "30x odds" it means that for every $1 you are wagering at reduced odds (ie, odds that give the casino a small advantage), you can wager up to $30 at the true odds. If you do this, you will something very close to a fair game.
