If the pay off for a Don’t Pass Odds bet is the same as the amount of the Flat wager, then the Odds wager is bridged. The section of your Odds bet that’s equal to the Flat wager is set literally beside to the Flat bet. Then, the rest of the Odds bet is positioned on top "bridging" them. For instance, suppose you make a five dollar Do not Pass bet and the hurler rolls a point of eight. Knowing the true odds for the eight are 6:5 (for example., 6 ways to make a 7, and five ways to roll an eight), you then put 6 dollars in Odds with the hope of acquiring five dollars. In this instance, if you win the six dollars Odds wager, you win five dollars, which exactly 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 $6 Odds wager by putting a five dollar chip exactly beside to your five dollar Flat bet, and then placing the $1 chip so it bridges the two 5 dollar chips.
If the payout for a Do not Pass Odds wager does not equal the amt. of the Flat wager, then the Odds wager is heeled. This means you lay the bottom chip of your Odds wager chip stack directly next to your Flat bet. Then, place all remaining Odds bet chips on that individual chip but to the side and leaning on that first chip (your Odds bet chip stack is crooked due to the fact that it is leaning on the bottom chip).
Perturbed? That’s alright, do not get agitated. The dealer is always willing to help if you forget. After a couple of times, it all makes perfect sense. It won’t take long before you’re a master. If you’re not sure what to do the initial time you attempt it, basically tell the dealer, "I would like to put some Odds but I don’t comprehend if it needs to be bridged or heeled." The croupier asks, "How much do you want to put?" Suppose you indicate, "15 dollars to win 10." The dealer will request that you place your chips on the craps table (dealers aren’t permitted to take anything, especially chips, directly from a patron), and then the dealer correctly heels or bridges them based on the amount of your Flat bet. You will quickly get the hang of it. Just do not be afraid to ask the dealer questions. His job is not only to deal, but also to be courteous and assist the gamblers.
