Re: Having trouble coming to terms with Pokermods.com\'s odds tables.
Thinking about it, they are reporting the correct number, though I think in truth the percentage is confusing.
Odds are defined as the P/1-P where P is the probability of the event happening.
So, for example, if you have 18 outs, you have 18/46 chance of success, and 28/46 chance of failure. The odds are 18/28, which can be expressed as a percentage, but that is confusing because it turns out that the number can be greater than 1.
