8 outs with 1 card to come, About 6 to 1.

8 outs with 2 cards to come, About 3 to 1.

No, 8 outs with 1 card to come is about 1 IN 6 or 5 TO 1.

With 2 cards to come it's 8/47 + 39/47 * 8/46 = 1 in 3.2 or 2.2 TO 1.

Does that mean 1 in 2, is 1 to 1? Sounds fishy to me.

"Does that mean 1 in 2, is 1 to 1? Sounds fishy to me."

"1 in 2" means succeeding one time out of two total tries (times) --- which is a 50% chance of success. Your odds of success are 1 to 1 against, you're a 1:1 "dog" to succeed. In other words, even money.
