| How do you convert percentages to Odds? Example: Four to a flush after the flop: Odds of making it? (38/47*37/46) = .65 or 65% chance of not making it. Or do you calulate the odds of making it? 47/9 * 46/9 | ||

So the probabiltiy of making the flush is given by 1-(38/47*37/46). If you have a 65% probability of failure in anything then the odds are 65 to 35 against you, which reduces to 13 to 7 against. If you have x% probability of failure,the odds are then given as x to (100-x) against. | ||

So on average, for every 3 goes you miss twice and hit once, giving odds of approx 2 to 1 against. The odds are more accurately given as 1.86 to 1. | ||

| Yes, if you have four to the flush after the flop. Some people prefer to see it reduced all the way down, in which case it would be about 1.86 to 1. | ||
