If the pay out for a Don’t Pass Odds wager equals the amount of the Flat wager, then the Odds wager is bridged. The section of your Odds bet that’s the same as the Flat bet is positioned directly beside to the Flat wager. Then, the remainder of the Odds wager is positioned on top "bridging" them. For example, suppose you make a $5 Do not Pass bet and the hurler tosses a point of 8. Understanding the true odds for the 8 are six:five (i.e., 6 ways to roll a 7, and five ways to roll an eight), you then put 6 dollars in Odds with the expectation of acquiring five dollars. In this example, if you win the 6 dollars Odds wager, you earn $5, which absolutely equals the amount you earn with your 5 dollar Flat wager. Therefore, since your Flat bet and Odds wager win the same amount (5 dollars each), you bridge your six dollars Odds wager by making a 5 dollar chip exactly beside to your $5 Flat bet, and then laying the $1 chip so it bridges the two five 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 bet is heeled. This basically means you place the first chip of your Odds wager chip stack right next to your Flat wager. Then, place all remaining Odds wager chips over and above that first chip but to the side and angled on that first chip (your Odds bet chip stack is tilted as a result that it is leaning on the first chip).

Confused? That is ok, don’t get alarmed. The dealer is always ready to help if you don’t remember. After a couple of instances, it all makes sense. It will not take long before you are an expert. If you’re not sure what to do the first time you try it, simply say to the croupier, "I want to lay some Odds but I do not comprehend if it should be bridged or heeled." The dealer asks, "How much do you want to lay?" Let’s assume you say, "15 dollars to win 10." The dealer asks you to place your chips on the table (dealers aren’t permitted to accept anything, in particular chips, right from a player), and then the dealer correctly heels or bridges them based on the amt. of your Flat bet. You’ll quickly get the feel of it. Just do not be scared to ask the dealer queries. His/Her job is not only to deal, but also to be friendly and help the players.
