If the payoff for a Don’t Pass Odds wager equals the amt. of the Flat wager, then the Odds bet is bridged. The section of your Odds bet that is equal to the Flat bet is put exactly next to the Flat bet. Then, the rest of the Odds wager is placed on top "bridging" them. As an example, suppose you lay a five dollar Don’t Pass wager and the player throws a point of eight. Being aware of the true odds for the eight are six:five (i.e., 6 ways to roll a seven, and 5 ways to make an eight), you then lay 6 dollars in Odds with the expectation of acquiring 5 dollars. In this instance, if you win the 6 dollars Odds bet, you earn $5, which exactly equals the amt. you win with your $5 Flat wager. Therefore, since your Flat wager and Odds wager earn the same amt. (five dollars each), you bridge your six dollars Odds wager by putting a five dollar chip literally next to your five dollar Flat wager, and then laying the one dollar chip so it bridges the 2 five dollar chips.
If the payout for a Do not Pass Odds bet does not equal the amount of the Flat wager, then the Odds bet is heeled. This alludes to the fact that you place the first chip of your Odds bet chip stack right beside to your Flat bet. Then, position all remaining Odds bet chips on top of that first chip but offset and angled on that first chip (your Odds wager chip stack is tilted as a result that it’s leaning on the bottom chip).
Flustered? That’s alright, do not get agitated. The dealer is always ready to help if you don’t remember. After a few instances, it all makes perfect sense. It will not take too much time before you are a master. If you’re not certain what to do the initial instance you attempt it, simply say to the dealer, "I want to lay some Odds but I do not comprehend if it needs to be bridged or heeled." The dealer asks, "How much do you wish to lay?" Let’s assume you say, "15 dollars to win 10." The croupier will request that you place your chips on the craps table (dealers are not allowed to accept anything, above all chips, directly from a patron), and then he properly heels or bridges them based on the amount of your Flat wager. You’ll quickly get the feel of it. Just don’t be afraid to ask the croupier questions. His job is not only to deal, but also to be friendly and assist the gamblers.
