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.

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.

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.

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

Thats proof that the Sevens are coming, you might as well get paid. Sometimes no shooter will make a point for 30-40 minutes. Counting only on Pass Line can cost ya.
