    47–10 and 6–7–10. These splits are similar to the 7–10 split, but are easier to pick up because of the extra pin. Always aim for the side with the two pins to ensure a possibility of a pick-up. Note that these splits are identical to the 4-10 and 6–7. 4-9 and 6-8. These splits are a little easier to convert as opposed to the 4-10 ...

    The odds in this sample of getting the disease given that someone is exposed is 20/10 and the odds given that someone is not exposed is 6/16. The odds ratio is thus 20 / 10 6 / 16 ≈ 5.3 {\displaystyle {\frac {20/10}{6/16}}\approx 5.3} , quite close to the odds ratio calculated for the entire village.

    At first glance, it may seem that the odds are now even, 1:1, so that South should expect to do equally well with either of the two possible continuations. However, the principle of restricted choice tells us that while both lies of the cards are possible, the probabilities are 2:1 in favour of assuming West holds Q32 and to therefore play the ten.

    Odds of 4/1 would imply that the bettor stands to make a £400 profit on a £100 stake. If the odds are 1/4, the bettor will make £25 on a £100 stake. In either case, having won, the bettor always receives the original stake back; so if the odds are 4/1 the bettor receives a total of £500 (£400 plus the original £100).

    For example, the pot is $30, and the cost of the call is $10. The pot odds in this situation are 30:10, or 3:1 when simplified. To get the percentage, 1 is divided by the sum of 3 and 1, giving 0.25, or 25% or 1/(3+1). To convert any percentage or fraction to the equivalent odds, the numerator is subtracted from the denominator.
