I\'ll take 15:1
I really don't think 15:1's too horrible when you take all factors into consideration.
I have no hard proof but lets say before the river your average pot is 7BB(I just tossed out a number), which might be a bit modest, your bet and his raise gives you 10:1 odds on calling the river c/r.
Take that and add in your own good situational reasoning even without a good read: using hand reading and board texture to determine if he could actually have the hand he's representing, the average player type for the game you're playing in, is he c/ring you or the field, etc. etc. I think good analysis of the situation bumps up your chances of winning.
Now I'm not saying that its clear to call every time or clear to fold everytime. My point is that it's close and shouldn't be an auto-muck.
