If the payoff for a Don’t Pass Odds bet equals the amt. of the Flat wager, then the Odds wager is bridged. The section of your Odds bet that is equal to the Flat bet is put directly next to the Flat bet. Then, the rest of the Odds bet is put on top "bridging" them. For example, suppose you place a 5 dollar Don’t Pass wager and the hurler throws a point of 8. Being aware of the true odds for the eight are 6:5 (for example., six ways to roll a 7, and 5 ways to make an eight), you then lay $6 in Odds with the hope of winning 5 dollars. In this example, if you actually win the six dollars Odds bet, you earn 5 dollars, which clearly equals the amt. you win with your five dollar Flat bet. Therefore, since your Flat wager and Odds wager capture the same amount (5 dollars each), you bridge your six dollars Odds wager by putting a 5 dollar chip literally beside to your five dollar Flat wager, and then placing the $1 chip so it bridges the 2 five dollar chips.
If the pay out for a Do not Pass Odds wager doesn’t equal the amt. of the Flat wager, then the Odds wager is heeled. This basically means you lay the first chip of your Odds wager chip stack directly beside to your Flat wager. Then, place all remaining Odds bet chips over and above that individual chip but to the side and angled on that first chip (your Odds bet chip stack is crooked due to the fact that it’s leaning on the first chip).
Confused? That’s fine, do not get alarmed. The croupier is always ready to help if you don’t remember. After a couple of instances, it all makes sense. It won’t take too much time before you are a master. If you are not certain what to do the initial time you try it, simply say to the dealer, "I would like to place some Odds but I do not comprehend if it should be bridged or heeled." The croupier asks, "How much do you want to lay?" Let’s assume you say, "Fifteen dollars to win ten." The croupier asks you to drop your chips on the craps table (croupiers are not allowed to collect anything, especially chips, right from a gambler), and then the dealer correctly heels or bridges them based on the amt. of your Flat wager. You’ll quickly get the hang of it. Just do not be afraid to ask the dealer queries. Her job is not only to deal, but also to be accommodating and help the competitors.
