Be smart, play smart, learn how to play casino craps the right way!
The C&E (”Craps and Eleven”) bet is a one-roll bet combining Any Craps with the number 11. On the table layout, each little “C” circle (for an Any Craps bet) has a little “E” circle adjacent to it (”E” stands for Eleven). Since the dealer controls the C&E bet (keep your hands off), he puts half your chips in the Any Craps circle (the “C” circle) and half in the Eleven circle (the “E” circle).
If a 2, 3, or 12 shows on the next roll, the payoff is 7:1; and your 11 loses. If an 11 shows, the payoff is 15:1; and your Any Craps loses.
If you make a C&E bet that can’t be divided into two whole numbers, the dealer straddles the two “C” and “E” circles with your chips. Be careful making C&E bets that don’t result in whole numbers after being split. If you win and the resulting payoff includes a fraction of a dollar, the casino can’t pay you that fraction, so they keep it for themselves.
An example of where a fractional bet results in a whole number payoff is the $5 C&E. The dealer can’t split your $5 chip into whole-dollar halves ($5 divided by 2 = $2.50; the casino doesn’t have 50-cent chips), so he straddles the “C” and “E” circles with your $5 chip. If an 11 shows on the next roll, the payoff is 15:1 so you win $37.50 (i.e., 15 x $2.50 = $37.50), and you lose $2.50 for the Any Craps portion of your C&E bet; therefore, your net win is $35, which is a whole number that the dealer can pay in full. If a 2, 3, or 12 shows (i.e., Any Craps), the payoff is 7:1 so you win $17.50 (i.e., 7 x $2.50 = $17.50), and you lose $2.50 for the Eleven portion of your C&E bet; therefore, your net win is $15, which is a whole number.
C&E bets that don’t result in whole numbers after being split can be confusing, so it’s best to simply toss the dealer an even-numbered amount of chips to avoid dealing with fractions of dollars.
Now you know! Remember, learn how to play casino craps the right way.

out of all the videos i have watched, this is by far the most important. Its clear,to the point and addresses the exact thing you should do.
Buying numbers is dumb, field bets are dumb… pass line max odds with 1 to 2 come bets with max odds, Even if everyone on the table looses everything. You will nearly break even. If everyone wins.. then so do you.

You minimize (reduce to zero) the casino’s advantage by making no bets.
The more you bet, the more you stand to lose, in an unfavorable game.
And the more you bet, the more you can win, if the dice bless you.
The best way to win at craps? Own the table.

this guy is smarter than most. his advice is accurate and u wont have the advantage but u will be more likely to win than if u play any other way. most of the teachers of craps on youtube try to sell u on sure wins. they are full of shit. like he says play the passline with full odds and 2 come bets u will not have the advantage but u will lose less over the long run. if someone promises a win they are liars or cheaters.

I never had problems using the Bodog software. Maybe it's your connection speed?
Try to contact customer service and see what they have to say about it before you start playing for money.
You can read other Bodog user experiences at Hypercasinos.com

I personally play craps at Casino Del Rio and Piggs Casino. They have some of the most realistic craps games online, although I think that it is hard to replicate the thrill of playing craps in a real casino. They are still good games, there's just not quite the camraderie.
Here is a link that lists some good craps casinos, including the ones I mentioned above: http://www.ranked-online-casinos.com/craps-online-casinos.html

Betting the pass line with odds is pretty much the same too.Technically the don't pass line has slightly better odds (1.38% vs 1.41%), but once you add the odds bet, the difference is pretty negligible.
Also, try to play at Casino Royale. They have a 100x table, with $1 minimum bet. Making a $1 pass (or don't pass) bet then adding the $100 odds bet is the best bet in Vegas. But if you don't have the bankroll for that, a $10 odds bet is still darn good odds (the house edge is somewhere in the neighborhood of .001%).
There are a lot of other betting strategies that are fun to play, but have significantly worse odds. For example, if you make a $10 place bet on 5, and $12 place bet on 6 and 8, then a $5 field bet, you win if any number but 7 hits. If a 7 hits, you lose $39, so just leave it up for 2 rolls per shooter. This will lose in the long run, but it's a fun way to play, and if not too many people are sevening out too quickly, you can build up a profit rather quickly.
Good luck and have fun.

As already stated, the probability of a seven coming up on any given roll is 1 in 6 (16.67% of the time). Similary, the probability of a seven not coming up on any given roll is 5 in 6 (83.33% of the time). Since each roll of the dice is an independent random event unrelated to any previous roll(s), there is no way to predict how long a shooter will be able to throw the dice before sevening-out, no matter who's rolling. By way of example, if a shooter has rolled the dice 100 times without rolling a seven, what are the chances that the next roll will now be a seven? A: Still 1 in 6.
To try and alter the random nature of the dice toss through "dice control" is a Class B Felony under Nevada statute. Don't waste your time or money. Any "pros" that feign that ability and try to sell it to you are just felons in waiting.
All that having been said, craps is still the best game in the house; the only game with a true 50/50 bet on the table (the Odds bet). Your ability to prevail at the table is largely a function of good betting and money management skills. And a little luck doesn't hurt.

AC is the only one I know of for craps, unless you want to troop all the way up to Connecticut.
To my knowledge only dogs and horses are legal gambling in Maryland, although I've heard that Baltimore is considering to allow slot machines in OTB places.
There are no indian casinos in MD unfortunately.
Sorry… I feel ya man, craps is my game too.

Cherokee is your best bet.

You can place bets anytime you want, except when the dice are being thrown. Ask the dealers for help, they will help you, but make sure you tip them for their help and service!!

Craps or cramps?I am going to presume you mean cramps and it is not unusual to get cramps when exercising.There are many things that can cause them,maybe a chat to your family Doctor to be on the safe side,but I doubt there is anything to be concerned about.
