HOW TO CALCULATE THE ODDS

WHAT DOES 2 TO 1 MEAN:  for openers it is the same as 4 to 2;  note the minimum bet is $2

if you bet $2 and win, you get $4 plus your $2 bet back for a total of $6.

which means your chances of winning are 1 in 3 or 1/3

for example: 

bet 2 and lose, accumulated cost = $2

bet 2 again and lose, accumulated cost = $4

bet 2 a third time and and win, accumulated cost = $0;  one of three chances

SUMMARY:  IF ODDS ARE X TO Y, THEN THE CHANCE OF WINNING IS Y/(X+Y)

SUMMARY:  IF ODDS ARE A TO B, THEN THE CHANCE OF WINNING IS B/(A+B)
