Also I went to the casino last weekend and noticed on the outer-edge of the green felt craps table were circles with numbers inside of them....they were a little bigger than than the diameter of a poker chip...What are these bets and I think your bet stays the whole time the "shooter" is rolling the dice...? Thanks

Here is an article about the rules of craps and a basic strategy for playing:
http://theonlinecasinogamblingdirectory.com/rules/craps.htm
The odds bet in craps is the best bet in the casino because it pays off at "true odds" -- meaning that there is no house percentage on this bet. You can make an odds bet after a point is established.
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 prop bets for 2 or 12 on the very next roll have the best payout of 30 to 1 or 31 for 1 depending on the layout,as for the small circles on the outside ,the only group of small circles runs between the BOX and STICK and they are the C&E bets that seperate the hardways and other prop bets from the FIELD and the COME bets and are also only one roll action.-hope this helps

Everything Ranger4402 said was true, and that was exactly what you were asking. "Best Answer" to him. What he didn't tell you is that the Any 7 bet is absolutely the very worst bet on the entire craps table. It has a House Edge of about 16.67%!!! Worth knowing.
