If the payoff for a Do not Pass Odds wager equals the amount of the Flat bet, then the Odds bet is bridged. The section of your Odds wager that’s equal to the Flat bet is put directly next to the Flat bet. Then, the rest of the Odds wager is positioned on top "bridging" them. As an example, consider you place a 5 dollar Do not Pass bet and the player throws a point of eight. Understanding the true odds for the 8 are 6:5 (for example., 6 ways to roll a seven, and 5 ways to make an 8), you then lay $6 in Odds with the expectation of acquiring 5 dollars. In this instance, if you actually win the $6 Odds wager, you earn $5, which absolutely equals the amt. you earn with your $5 Flat bet. Therefore, since your Flat bet and Odds wager win the same amt. (five dollars each), you bridge your 6 dollars Odds wager by putting a $5 chip exactly beside to your $5 Flat bet, and then putting the one dollar chip so it bridges the two $5 chips.

If the pay out for a Don’t Pass Odds bet doesn’t equal the amt. of the Flat wager, then the Odds wager is heeled. This means you position the bottom chip of your Odds bet chip stack exactly next to your Flat bet. Then, position all remaining Odds wager chips over and above that first chip but offset and angled on that bottom chip (your Odds wager chip stack is crooked because it’s angled on the first chip).

Flustered? That’s ok, do not get alarmed. The croupier is always willing to assist if you forget. After a couple of instances, it all makes sense. It will not take long before you’re an expert. If you’re not certain what to do the initial time you attempt it, basically tell the dealer, "I would like to put some Odds but I don’t comprehend if it should be bridged or heeled." The dealer asks, "How much do you wish to place?" Let us say you say, "$15 to win 10." The dealer will request that you place your chips on the table (dealers aren’t allowed to take anything, above all chips, right from a player), and then he correctly heels or bridges them based on the amount of your Flat wager. You’ll quickly get the feel of it. Just do not be afraid to ask the dealer questions. His or Her job is not only to deal, but also to be friendly and help the competitors.
