If the pay off for a Don’t Pass Odds bet is the same as the amount of the Flat wager, then the Odds bet is bridged. The section of your Odds wager that’s equal to the Flat wager is set literally beside to the Flat wager. Then, the remainder of the Odds wager is placed on top "bridging" them. For example, let’s say you place a 5 dollar Don’t Pass bet and the hurler tosses a point of 8. Being aware of the true odds for the eight are six:five (i.e., six ways to make a seven, and 5 ways to make an 8), you then place six dollars in Odds with the expectation of acquiring 5 dollars. In this instance, if you actually win the six dollars Odds wager, you earn $5, which exactly equals the amount you win with your 5 dollar Flat bet. Therefore, since your Flat bet and Odds wager aquire the same amount ($5 each), you bridge your six dollars Odds wager by putting a 5 dollar chip directly next to your 5 dollar Flat wager, and then laying the one dollar chip so it bridges the two 5 dollar chips.
If the payout for a Do not Pass Odds wager doesn’t equal the amt. of the Flat bet, then the Odds wager is heeled. This means you position the bottom chip of your Odds bet chip stack right beside to your Flat wager. Then, place all remaining Odds wager chips on top of that individual chip but offset and leaning on that first chip (your Odds bet chip stack is crooked as a result that it’s angled on the first chip).
Perturbed? That’s alright, don’t get alarmed. The croupier is always ready to assist if you don’t remember. After a couple of times, it all makes sense. It will not take long before you’re a pro. If you are not certain what to do the initial instance you try it, basically inform the croupier, "I want to put some Odds but I do not know if it needs to be bridged or heeled." The dealer asks, "How much do you want to put?" Let us say you say, "$15 to win 10." The croupier asks you to drop your chips on the table (dealers are not allowed to take anything, notably chips, right from a patron), and then the dealer 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 hesitant to ask the dealer queries. Her job is just to deal, but also to be courteous and help the competitors.
