If the payout for a Do not Pass Odds wager equals the amt. of the Flat wager, then the Odds bet is bridged. The section of your Odds bet that’s the same as the Flat bet is arranged directly next to the Flat wager. Then, the rest of the Odds bet is put on top "bridging" them. As an example, let’s say you put a $5 Do not Pass wager and the player rolls a point of eight. Knowing the true odds for the 8 are six to five (i.e., six ways to roll a seven, and 5 ways to make an 8), you then lay $6 in Odds with the expectation of acquiring five dollars. In this instance, if you actually win the $6 Odds bet, you win five dollars, which absolutely equals the amount you earn with your five dollar Flat wager. Therefore, since your Flat wager and Odds wager aquire the same amt. (five dollars each), you bridge your six dollars Odds wager by putting a $5 chip exactly next to your 5 dollar Flat wager, and then putting the one dollar chip so it bridges the two $5 chips.
If the payoff for a Don’t Pass Odds bet doesn’t equal the amount of the Flat wager, then the Odds bet is heeled. This alludes to the fact that you position the bottom chip of your Odds bet chip stack right next to your Flat wager. Then, put all remaining Odds bet chips over and above that individual chip but offset and leaning on that first chip (your Odds bet chip stack is crooked as a result that it’s leaning on the bottom chip).
Flustered? That is ok, don’t get agitated. The croupier is always willing to assist if you forget. After a couple of times, it all makes perfect sense. It will not take too much time before you’re a pro. If you’re not certain what to do the initial instance you attempt it, basically tell the croupier, "I would like to lay some Odds but I do not comprehend if it really should be bridged or heeled." The croupier asks, "How much do you wish to put?" Let’s say you say, "15 dollars to win ten." The dealer will request that you place your chips on the craps table (dealers aren’t allowed to collect anything, especially chips, right from a competitor), and then he properly heels or bridges them based on the amount of your Flat bet. You’ll quickly get the feel of it. Just don’t be hesitant to ask the croupier inquiries. Their job is not only to deal, but also to be friendly and assist the gamblers.
