Default Re: Converting Percent to X:1 odds

how about 1 divided by the percent chance. you get a number then deduct one from that and you have your odds to one.
example 1 is divided by .25 =4 so your odds are 3 to 1. get it.that works when you are the dog.

but the best way is to take yor chances say .25 and divide it into the difference from 100. example .75 divided by .25 =3
.60 divided by .40 = 1.5 to one
