I understand this... but,

if the pot is 7 BB after the turn coming to me with a bet already in and they are drawing to 4 outs, I can do one of the following assuming my hand is strong:

1. call, which gives them 8:1 to call (incorrect for them to call)
2. raise, which gives them 9:2 to call (very, very, icorrect for them to call)

If I know they will call either way, why wouldn't I raise? Seems like lost money to me.

I understand that by giving them incorrect odds on their draws is what is making me money, but recently I have been raising more often in places where I would typically be looking for overcallers and have still been getting them... and at a better price as well.
