flopped a set

6:1 to make boat/quad on turn (7 outs)
4:1 to make boat/quad on river (10 outs)

if i went all in on flop, what are the odds to make a boat/quad by showdown?

=1-(prob of not making boat/quads)

= 1-(40/47)(36/46)

= 33.4%

If you have no information about what anyone else has, you will fill up 7/47 + (40/47)(10/46) = 33.4%.

If you know your opponent has a flush, you will fill up 7/45 + (6/45)(9/44)+(32/45)(10/44) = 341/990 = 34.4%. The middle term comes from when the turn would pair your opponent, giving you only 9 outs on the river. It is slightly more likely that you fill up if you know your opponent is not blocking the board from pairing.

If you know your opponent has a straight or a baby flush, you get the same probability to fill up, but you also have outs to tie.

33% = 3:1?

33% = 2:1

You make it 1 out of 3 times and fail 2 out of 3 times. The odds are therefore 2:1 against.

New to board. I have seen various percentages above 33%. Ccould this be due to runner runner? My math shows that runner runner is 6.5%.
2nd question. what are the odds and percentage of the board paring at each stage? thoughts please. MW

Do you mean something like a flop of AKQ, turn 6, river 6? That is included in the calculations. It is why people say that you have 7 outs to fill up on the turn, and if you miss, you have 10 outs to fill up on the river.

I understand. two different internet sites have it listed as 37%. I will stick to the 33%. Thanks for info. MW
