Heading to vegas and want to play some craps for fun. I have played craps once and felt like a total donkey as i had no idea what was going on. What do i need to know to play? What are the best bets? What are the odds differences that always get talked about? Thanks in advance

Go to Casino Royale or another place that offers $1 tables. Place $1 (or whatever the minimum is if it isn't a $1 table) on the pass line. If the shooter doesn't roll a 7 or 11 (you win immediately) or a 2, 3, or 12 (you lose immediately), place more money behind your original bet up to whatever bet size you're comfortable with. Then, root for the shooter to roll his number again before he rolls a 7. If he does, you win. If he doesn't, you lose. Rinse, repeat until you're sufficiently drunk or go broke.
