If the pay out for a Don’t Pass Odds bet is the same as the amt. of the Flat bet, then the Odds wager is bridged. The section of your Odds wager that’s the same as the Flat wager is set right next to the Flat wager. Then, the remainder of the Odds wager is laid on top "bridging" them. For example, let’s say you put a $5 Don’t Pass wager and the hurler rolls a point of eight. Knowing the true odds for the eight are six to five (i.e., six ways to roll a seven, and 5 ways to roll an eight), you then place $6 in Odds with the hope of winning five dollars. In this instance, if you win the 6 dollars Odds wager, you win 5 dollars, which clearly equals the amt. you earn with your 5 dollar Flat wager. Therefore, since your Flat wager and Odds wager earn the same amt. (five dollars each), you bridge your 6 dollars Odds bet by laying a 5 dollar chip directly next to your five dollar Flat bet, and then putting the $1 chip so it bridges the two five dollar chips.
If the payoff for a Do not Pass Odds bet doesn’t equal the amt. of the Flat bet, then the Odds wager is heeled. This basically means you lay the first chip of your Odds bet chip stack directly beside to your Flat bet. Then, place all remaining Odds bet chips over and above that first chip but offset and leaning on that first chip (your Odds bet chip stack is tilted as a result that it is leaning on the bottom chip).
Perturbed? That is alright, do not get alarmed. The dealer is always ready to assist if you forget. After a couple of instances, it all makes perfect sense. It will not take too long before you’re a master. If you’re not sure what to do the initial instance you try it, simply tell the dealer, "I want to lay some Odds but I do not know if it should be bridged or heeled." The croupier asks, "How much do you want to lay?" Let us say you indicate, "15 dollars to win 10." The croupier asks you to place your chips on the craps table (dealers are not allowed to take anything, especially chips, directly from a player), and then the dealer correctly heels or bridges them based on the amount of your Flat wager. You’ll quickly get the feel of it. Just do not be hesitant to ask the dealer queries. His or Her job is just to deal, but also to be courteous and assist the gamblers.
