If the payout for a Do not Pass Odds bet equals the amt. of the Flat bet, then the Odds bet is bridged. The part of your Odds bet that is equal to the Flat wager is arranged right next to the Flat wager. Then, the remainder of the Odds wager is put on top "bridging" them. e.g., suppose you place a five dollar Don’t Pass wager and the shooter tosses a point of eight. Understanding the true odds for the eight are 6:5 (for example., 6 ways to roll a seven, and five ways to roll an eight), you then lay six dollars in Odds with the hope of acquiring $5. In this instance, if you actually win the $6 Odds wager, you win five dollars, which clearly equals the amt. you win with your $5 Flat wager. Therefore, since your Flat bet and Odds bet earn the same amount (5 dollars each), you bridge your 6 dollars Odds wager by placing a 5 dollar chip directly beside to your $5 Flat wager, and then laying the $1 chip so it bridges the two $5 chips.
If the payoff for a Do not Pass Odds wager does not equal the amt. of the Flat wager, then the Odds wager is heeled. This means you place the bottom chip of your Odds wager chip stack exactly beside to your Flat wager. Then, place all remaining Odds wager chips on top of that first chip but to the side and leaning on that first chip (your Odds bet chip stack is tilted as a result that it is angled on the first chip).
Confused? That’s fine, do not get agitated. The dealer is always ready to assist if you forget. After a couple of instances, it all makes perfect sense. It won’t take long before you are a master. If you are not certain what to do the initial instance you attempt it, simply tell the dealer, "I want to place some Odds but I don’t comprehend if it really should be bridged or heeled." The croupier asks, "How much do you want to put?" Let us say you indicate, "15 dollars to win 10." The croupier will request that you place your chips on the craps table (dealers are not allowed to collect anything, above all chips, right from a player), and then the dealer properly heels or bridges them based on the amt. of your Flat wager. You’ll quickly get the feel of it. Just don’t be afraid to ask the dealer queries. Their job is just to deal, but also to be accommodating and help the gamblers.
