If the pay off for a Don’t Pass Odds bet is the same as the amt. of the Flat bet, then the Odds bet is bridged. The part of your Odds wager that is equal to the Flat bet is set exactly beside to the Flat bet. Then, the remainder of the Odds bet is placed on top "bridging" them. e.g., let’s say you lay a $5 Do not Pass bet and the player rolls a point of eight. Understanding the true odds for the 8 are six:five (for example., 6 ways to make a seven, and 5 ways to roll an eight), you then lay $6 in Odds with the hope of acquiring $5. In this instance, if you actually win the $6 Odds wager, you earn 5 dollars, which absolutely equals the amount you win with your $5 Flat wager. Therefore, since your Flat wager and Odds bet win the same amt. (5 dollars each), you bridge your 6 dollars Odds wager by placing a $5 chip exactly beside to your 5 dollar Flat wager, and then placing the one dollar chip so it bridges the two 5 dollar chips.

If the pay out for a Don’t Pass Odds bet does not equal the amount of the Flat bet, then the Odds bet is heeled. This means you lay the first chip of your Odds bet chip stack directly beside to your Flat bet. Then, put all remaining Odds bet chips over and above that single chip but to the side and leaning on that first chip (your Odds bet chip stack is tilted because it is angled on the bottom chip).

Perturbed? That is okay, don’t get agitated. The croupier is always ready to help if you don’t remember. After a couple of times, it all makes sense. It will not take too long before you’re a master. If you are not sure what to do the initial time you try it, simply tell the croupier, "I would like to place some Odds but I don’t know if it needs to be bridged or heeled." The croupier asks, "How much do you want to lay?" Let’s say you say, "$15 to win ten." The croupier will request that you place your chips on the craps table (croupiers are not allowed to take anything, in particular chips, directly from a competitor), and then he properly heels or bridges them based on the amt. of your Flat wager. You will quickly get the hang of it. Just do not be hesitant to ask the croupier questions. His or Her job is just to deal, but also to be friendly and help the competitors.
