If the pay off for a Do not Pass Odds wager is the same as the amount of the Flat wager, then the Odds wager is bridged. The section of your Odds wager that’s equal to the Flat bet is laid exactly beside to the Flat wager. Then, the rest of the Odds bet is placed on top "bridging" them. As an example, suppose you lay a five dollar Do not Pass bet and the hurler throws a point of eight. Knowing the true odds for the 8 are six:five (i.e., 6 ways to make a seven, and 5 ways to roll an eight), you then put six dollars in Odds with the expectation of winning 5 dollars. In this example, if you actually win the six dollars Odds bet, you earn $5, which exactly equals the amount you earn with your 5 dollar Flat bet. Therefore, since your Flat bet and Odds wager earn the same amt. ($5 each), you bridge your six dollars Odds bet by placing a five dollar chip literally beside to your 5 dollar Flat bet, and then placing the $1 chip so it bridges the 2 five dollar chips.
If the payout for a Do not Pass Odds bet does not equal the amount of the Flat wager, then the Odds bet is heeled. This basically means you position the first chip of your Odds wager chip stack directly beside to your Flat wager. Then, place all remaining Odds wager chips on that individual chip but offset and angled on that bottom chip (your Odds wager chip stack is tilted because it is leaning on the bottom chip).
Perturbed? That is alright, do not get nervous. The croupier is always willing to help if you forget. After a few instances, it all makes sense. It won’t take long before you’re a master. If you’re not sure what to do the initial time you try it, simply tell the dealer, "I would like to lay some Odds but I don’t comprehend if it really should be bridged or heeled." The dealer asks, "How much do you want to put?" Suppose you indicate, "$15 to win 10." The croupier will request that you drop your chips on the craps table (dealers aren’t allowed to take anything, notably chips, right from a competitor), and then he correctly heels or bridges them based on the amt. of your Flat wager. You will quickly get the feel of it. Just do not be afraid to ask the dealer inquiries. Her job is just to deal, but also to be friendly and assist the players.
