In regards to the odds bet in craps, when do you do it and how does it work? Can you only bet odds on the point? If the point is 4, can you do an odds bet on 6? Thanks!

1) The odds bet is the best bet in craps becasue it pays off at the true odds of rolling the point before rolling a seven; this means there is no "house percentage" for odds bets.
2) The odds bet can only be made on the the Pass Line and Come bets that you have been made that have established as a point by the shooter. Thus, if you are a new shooter, make a Pass Line bet, establish 4 as your point for the Pass Line bet, then you can make an odds bets on the 4. If you then make a Come bet, establish a 6 as the point for the Come bet, then you can make an odds bet on the 6.
Here is a link to the rules for craps, as well as a basic strategy for playing. http://robertmedl.com/rules/craps.htm
If you'd like to practice, some online casinos allow you to play in practice mode rather than for real money. I recommend Casino Grand Bay. http://www.referspot.com/showadtext.asp?g=0&b=1456&w=1649&s=b
If Casino Grand Bay is not to your liking, you can search hundreds of sites at GaminGoogle. http://robertmedl.com/gamingoogle.php
Best of luck!

Craps gives you one of the best shots at making good on your money, provided you know which bets are the ones worth making and which ones to reconsider.
Craps is best played with patience. The Pass Line bet and the Place bet for 6 or 8 will stand you in good stead over the long haul. Because of the low house advantage, these are two of the best bets you're likely to make.
Pass Line Bets: you win if the shooter rolls a 7 or an 11 on the first roll, or if the shooter establishes a point by rolling 4,5,6,8,9 or 10 and then rolls that same number again before rolling a 7.
Place bet on 6 or 8: you win if either a 6 or an 8 (depending on what number you're betting on) is rolled before a 7.
Betting Any 7
You'll often find craps players betting on 'Any 7'. The odds of Any 7 bets pay out at 4 to 1. The chances of you actually landing that bet are 5 to 1. Do the math and you'll see that it's just not worth it.
Betting The Field
As tempting as it is to bet the field, because it gives you lots of numbers to win and the payouts can be fairly attractive, there are a few cautions. For starters, you lose money much faster on this bet, and for every 16 winning bets there will be 20 losing results. Numbers 6,7 and 8 come up most often and they won't win you any money on this bet. Nor do 5 and 9 (the fourth most frequent results).
Betting On The Centre - Table Propositions
They can carry a casino advantage as high as 16%.
Big 6 And Big 8
These bets pay only even money, despite the fact that they work much the same way as Place Win bets on 6 and 8. Go for the Place Bets instead - they pay 7/6 odds. To put it another way: the house edge on Place Bets for 6 and 8 is only 1.52%, while on Big 6 and Big 8 it's 9.1%.
Hardways
Beware the Hardways bet - they don't call it hard for nothing. A Hardways bet on 4 or 10 has odds of 7 to 1 and a house edge of 11.11%. Hardways bets on 6 or 8 are 9 to 1 with a house edge of 9.09%. There are easier bets to make.

The odds bets on the pass line are THE bets in the whole casino with the lowest house advantage. I believe they're actually quite close to true odds.
