If the pay off for a Do not Pass Odds wager equals the amt. of the Flat wager, then the Odds wager is bridged. The part of your Odds wager that’s equal to the Flat wager is put directly beside to the Flat bet. Then, the rest of the Odds bet is placed on top "bridging" them. For instance, let us say you lay a five dollar Do not Pass wager and the shooter throws a point of eight. Being aware of the true odds for the 8 are six:five (i.e., six ways to make a 7, and 5 ways to roll an 8), you then put 6 dollars in Odds with the hope of acquiring $5. In this instance, if you actually win the 6 dollars Odds bet, you earn 5 dollars, which exactly equals the amt. you earn with your 5 dollar Flat bet. Therefore, since your Flat wager and Odds bet earn the same amount (five dollars each), you bridge your $6 Odds bet by putting a 5 dollar chip exactly beside to your five dollar Flat bet, and then placing the $1 chip so it bridges the 2 5 dollar chips.

If the payoff for a Do not Pass Odds wager does not equal the amount of the Flat bet, then the Odds bet is heeled. This alludes to the fact that you place the first chip of your Odds bet chip stack right next to your Flat bet. Then, position all remaining Odds bet chips on top of that individual chip but to the side and angled on that first chip (your Odds wager chip stack is tilted because it is leaning on the first chip).

Confused? That’s ok, do not get agitated. The dealer is always ready to assist if you don’t remember. After a couple of instances, it all makes perfect sense. It will not take long before you’re a pro. If you are not certain what to do the initial time you attempt it, simply say to the croupier, "I would like to put some Odds but I don’t comprehend if it really should be bridged or heeled." The croupier asks, "How much do you want to lay?" Suppose you indicate, "$15 to win ten." The dealer asks you to drop your chips on the table (croupiers are not allowed to accept anything, in particular chips, directly from a competitor), and then the croupier properly heels or bridges them based on the amount of your Flat bet. You will quickly get the feel of it. Just don’t be scared to ask the croupier inquiries. Her job is not only to deal, but also to be accommodating and help the players.
