Understand How to Gamble on Craps – Hints and Tactics
If the payoff for a Do not Pass Odds bet equals the amt. of the Flat bet, then the Odds bet is bridged. The section of your Odds bet that’s the same as the Flat wager is placed exactly beside to the Flat wager. Then, the remainder of the Odds bet is laid on top "bridging" them. e.g., let’s say you lay a five dollar Don’t Pass wager and the hurler tosses a point of 8. Being aware of the true odds for the eight are 6:5 (i.e., six ways to make a seven, and five ways to make an 8), you then place six dollars in Odds with the expectation of acquiring five dollars. In this instance, if you win the $6 Odds wager, you win 5 dollars, which clearly equals the amt. you win with your 5 dollar Flat wager. Therefore, since your Flat bet and Odds wager capture the same amount (5 dollars each), you bridge your 6 dollars Odds wager by laying a five dollar chip exactly beside to your 5 dollar Flat wager, and then placing the one dollar chip so it bridges the two 5 dollar chips.
If the pay out for a Do not Pass Odds wager does not equal the amount of the Flat wager, then the Odds bet is heeled. This basically means you lay the bottom chip of your Odds bet chip stack right next to your Flat wager. Then, place all remaining Odds bet chips on top of that single chip but to the side and leaning on that first chip (your Odds bet chip stack is crooked because it’s leaning on the first chip).
Confused? That is fine, do not get nervous. The dealer is always willing to help if you forget. After a couple of instances, it all makes perfect sense. It won’t take too long before you’re a master. If you’re not certain what to do the first instance you attempt it, basically inform the dealer, "I want to lay some Odds but I do not know if it really should be bridged or heeled." The dealer asks, "How much do you wish to place?" Let’s say you say, "$15 to win ten." The croupier asks you to drop your chips on the craps table (croupiers are not allowed to accept anything, above all chips, directly from a gambler), and then he correctly heels or bridges them based on the amount of your Flat bet. You’ll quickly get the feel of it. Just don’t be hesitant to ask the dealer questions. Her job is not only to deal, but also to be friendly and assist the players.
