Pot Odds Equation

Hi there!

I saw one comment that appeared as:

x = his bet
x/(pot + x) = your % of winning
x/(100 + x) = your % of winning
x/(100 + x) = .48
x = 48 + .48x
.52x = 48
x = 92

With utmost respect, if I may just say, I think this one may be better:

2X/(pot+2X)=your%winning …

Your thoughts? By the way, I don’t mean to offend you. I’m just suggesting.

Thanks!

Best regards,
Frank
Frank,

I personally prefer the 4/2 method of calculating pot odds. It’s the simplest and quickest method to calculate odds. However, if this equation works for you, then by all means use it. Good luck to you.
