If the payoff for a Do not Pass Odds wager equals the amount of the Flat wager, then the Odds bet is bridged. The part of your Odds bet that’s equal to the Flat bet is laid right beside to the Flat bet. Then, the rest of the Odds bet is positioned on top "bridging" them. As an example, let us say you put a $5 Don’t Pass bet and the hurler rolls a point of eight. Knowing the true odds for the eight are six to five (for example., 6 ways to make a seven, and 5 ways to make an eight), you then put six dollars in Odds with the hope of acquiring $5. In this instance, if you win the six dollars Odds wager, you earn five dollars, which exactly equals the amt. you win with your five dollar Flat bet. Therefore, since your Flat bet and Odds bet win the same amt. (five dollars each), you bridge your six dollars Odds bet by laying a $5 chip literally next to your 5 dollar Flat bet, and then laying the $1 chip so it bridges the two 5 dollar chips.
If the payoff for a Don’t Pass Odds wager does not equal the amount of the Flat wager, then the Odds bet is heeled. This means you lay the bottom chip of your Odds bet chip stack exactly next to your Flat wager. Then, put all remaining Odds wager chips on top of that single chip but offset and angled on that first chip (your Odds wager chip stack is crooked due to the fact that it’s leaning on the bottom chip).
Perturbed? That is fine, do not get agitated. The croupier is always willing to help if you don’t remember. After a couple of times, it all makes sense. It will not take too much time before you’re an expert. If you are not sure what to do the initial time you attempt it, basically inform the dealer, "I would like to place some Odds but I do not comprehend if it really should be bridged or heeled." The dealer asks, "How much do you wish to lay?" Let’s say you say, "$15 to win 10." The dealer will request that you drop your chips on the craps table (croupiers are not allowed to take anything, in particular chips, directly from a patron), and then he properly heels or bridges them based on the amt. of your Flat wager. You’ll quickly get the hang of it. Just don’t be hesitant to ask the croupier inquiries. His job is just to deal, but also to be courteous and assist the players.
