If the payoff for a Don’t Pass Odds bet equals the amount of the Flat bet, then the Odds wager is bridged. The section of your Odds bet that’s the same as the Flat bet is put right beside to the Flat wager. Then, the remainder of the Odds wager is laid on top "bridging" them. e.g., let us say you place a 5 dollar Do not Pass bet and the player rolls a point of 8. Being aware of the true odds for the eight are 6:5 (i.e., six ways to make a seven, and 5 ways to make an eight), you then place $6 in Odds with the hope of acquiring 5 dollars. In this instance, if you actually win the 6 dollars Odds bet, you win $5, which absolutely equals the amount you win with your five dollar Flat wager. Therefore, since your Flat wager and Odds bet aquire the same amount (five dollars each), you bridge your six dollars Odds bet by making a five dollar chip immediately next to your $5 Flat bet, and then placing the $1 chip so it bridges the two five dollar chips.
If the pay out for a Don’t Pass Odds bet does not equal the amt. of the Flat bet, then the Odds wager is heeled. This basically means you position the bottom chip of your Odds wager chip stack exactly next to your Flat bet. Then, place all remaining Odds bet chips on top of that single chip but to the side and angled on that bottom chip (your Odds wager chip stack is tilted because it’s angled on the first chip).
Flustered? That is fine, do not get agitated. The croupier is always ready to help if you forget. After a couple of times, it all makes perfect sense. It won’t take too long before you’re a master. If you’re not certain what to do the first instance you try it, basically inform the croupier, "I want to put some Odds but I do not comprehend if it needs to be bridged or heeled." The croupier asks, "How much do you wish to put?" Let us say you indicate, "Fifteen dollars to win ten." The dealer asks you to place your chips on the table (croupiers are not permitted to accept anything, above all chips, right from a player), and then the dealer properly heels or bridges them based on the amount of your Flat wager. You’ll quickly get the feel of it. Just don’t be scared to ask the dealer inquiries. His or Her job is just to deal, but also to be friendly and assist the gamblers.
