If the payoff for a Don’t Pass Odds bet equals the amt. of the Flat wager, then the Odds bet is bridged. The section of your Odds wager that is equal to the Flat bet is positioned exactly beside to the Flat bet. Then, the rest of the Odds bet is put on top "bridging" them. For example, consider you place a $5 Don’t Pass wager and the shooter tosses a point of 8. Understanding the true odds for the eight are six to five (for example., 6 ways to make a 7, and 5 ways to make an eight), you then lay six dollars in Odds with the expectation of winning 5 dollars. In this instance, if you win the six dollars Odds wager, you earn $5, which clearly equals the amt. you earn with your 5 dollar Flat wager. Therefore, since your Flat bet and Odds bet win the same amount ($5 each), you bridge your $6 Odds wager by making a five dollar chip immediately beside to your 5 dollar Flat wager, and then laying the $1 chip so it bridges the 2 five dollar chips.

If the payoff for a Do not Pass Odds bet doesn’t equal the amount of the Flat wager, then the Odds wager is heeled. This alludes to the fact that you lay the first chip of your Odds wager chip stack right next to your Flat bet. Then, position all remaining Odds wager chips over and above that single chip but to the side 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 ok, don’t get alarmed. The dealer is always ready to assist if you don’t remember. After a few instances, it all makes sense. It won’t take too long before you’re an expert. If you are not certain what to do the initial time you try it, basically inform the dealer, "I would like to put some Odds but I don’t know if it really should be bridged or heeled." The croupier asks, "How much do you wish to place?" Suppose you indicate, "15 dollars to win ten." The dealer will request that you place your chips on the table (croupiers are not allowed to collect anything, above all chips, right from a patron), and then the dealer correctly heels or bridges them based on the amt. of your Flat bet. You’ll quickly get the feel of it. Just do not be afraid to ask the dealer queries. His job is not only to deal, but also to be friendly and assist the gamblers.
