Default Re: Did I win this bet?

An acquaintance bet me that I don't know how to calculate how flop outs correspond to odds.

Billy,

While your technique might not have been perfect, it provides an accurate solution every time.

Therefore:

A) If your bet was that you knew how to calculate, every time, the correct drawing odds with two cards to come given x number of outs, you win.

B) If your bet was that you could provide a mathematical proof of your method that would survive the technical scrutiny of mathematicians, you appear, based on the opinions of the two obviously mathematically knowledgable persons above, to have lost.

And I hope no one considers this either silly or assinine.
