The dealers (I think you still call them dealers, even though there aren't any cards) were instructing me on how to play, and what's what -- and there is one time when they said (after the come-out roll) where you should ALWAYS double down.
So, my question -- what is the situation when you should always double down? I can't remember what it is, and I'm going to a gambling locale next month and would like to play craps for REAL!

I think that the situation to which you're referring is placing an "odds" bet behind your pass line bet. It's the one bet in the casino in which you can get true accurate odds for your wager. Therefore, it is advised that you max out this bet (some downtown places advertise up to 100x odds, but the usual is 3x(on 4 or 10) / 4x (on 5 or 9) / 5x (on 6 or 8).
