Default Re: Making outs to odds conversion

I don't calculate fast either. Cannot count to 21 unless my pants are down. But I digress...

One of us misunderstood. Are you saying that if you have "6 outs" you'll figure that's 12%, and 100-12=88, and 88:12 is "7+:1"? And that's "faster" than "6 outs", 42 bads, 42:6 is "7:1"?

I don't think its faster, and its less accurate.

If I have six outs and turn and river to go then I multiply 6 outs X 4 which gives me 24% or approx 3:1 . If I only have the river to go then I would multiply 6 outs X 2 which gives me 12% or approx 7:1

Hope that makes more sense, not perfect but close and easy

P.S. I'm not sure where I learned it from so don't know who to give credit...
