The first odd trick counts 30 paints, the second 40 points.

As you bid one no trump, the firat odd trick is scored by you as 30 points below the line or towards game. The second odd trick, in this case, while it would be the Airat overtrick, is scored at 40 points, and is scored'above the ling or na premium points.
