My best rolling streak included one roll where I "accidentally" (I swear) bounced the dice off the table right down the front of just such a person's blouse. Needless to say, it was quite a scrum between the dealers to retrieve and inspect the dice before resuming the game.

As others have noted, most of the larger casinos have craps instruction. Another option is to pick a time when casino traffic is light and just ask the stickman to explain the game. I did this the first few times I played. They not only were patient and helpful, they provided some good tips and hints, e.g. "Are you sure you want to place that bet?"

^ this, Gambler's Fallacy. Fair dice do not have memory!
^ this too. The miniscule advantage of the don't just isn't worth the lack of fun for a new player. I've won more money, but I've never had more FUN than playing pass line at a busy craps table that had a big hot streak.
