If the pay off for a Do not Pass Odds wager equals the amt. of the Flat bet, then the Odds wager is bridged. The section of your Odds wager that’s the same as the Flat wager is put literally beside to the Flat wager. Then, the rest of the Odds wager is put on top "bridging" them. As an example, consider you put a $5 Don’t Pass wager and the player tosses a point of 8. Being aware of the true odds for the 8 are six:five (i.e., 6 ways to make a 7, and five ways to roll an eight), you then lay 6 dollars in Odds with the hope of winning $5. In this instance, if you win the six dollars Odds wager, you win 5 dollars, which exactly equals the amount you win with your $5 Flat bet. Therefore, since your Flat wager and Odds wager capture the same amt. (5 dollars each), you bridge your $6 Odds bet by making a five dollar chip immediately next to your $5 Flat bet, and then laying the $1 chip so it bridges the two 5 dollar chips.
If the pay out for a Don’t Pass Odds wager does not equal the amt. of the Flat wager, then the Odds wager is heeled. This basically means you place the bottom chip of your Odds wager chip stack right next to your Flat wager. Then, put all remaining Odds wager chips on top of that first chip but offset and leaning on that bottom chip (your Odds bet chip stack is crooked due to the fact that it’s angled on the first chip).
Perturbed? That’s alright, don’t get agitated. The croupier is always ready to assist if you forget. After a few instances, it all makes sense. It won’t take too long before you’re a pro. If you’re not sure what to do the initial instance you try it, basically say to the croupier, "I would like to lay some Odds but I do not know if it really should be bridged or heeled." The dealer asks, "How much do you want to place?" Let’s assume you say, "Fifteen dollars to win ten." The dealer asks you to drop your chips on the table (croupiers aren’t allowed to collect anything, notably chips, right from a player), 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 hesitant to ask the croupier inquiries. His/Her job is not only to deal, but also to be friendly and assist the gamblers.
