Since you don't know about how to play craps... the odds bet is only available for the pass bet, the don't pass, the come bet and the don't come bet after a number or "point" is established. There are no "odds" bets on placing the 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10. There are no "odds" bets on the 7 or the horn numbers of 2, 3, 11, 12. There are no "odds" bets on hardways, or the various proposition bets such as "hop bets," or "any craps" or "world" bets.
The "free odds" bets or "odds bets" are restricted so the casino can make money. Craps is a negative expectation game -- period. There is no such thing as "expert play" unless you are a magician with the dice. Those of us who play craps try to be magicians, but so far no one has the title of "master dice magician."
By the way, craps is not a good game for accumulating comps. When you play craps you are at the mercy of the floorman or pit critters who must accurately record your bets and report them. Unlike slots and video poker where there is a computer to track your coin-in, table games such as craps are subject to wide swings in reporting. My classic example is when I spent a weekend playing craps at one casino in Vegas... at least 12 hours at the tables over the course of a weekend, and I was "recorded" for playing 90 minutes, and at a smaller than my actual average bet.
