Default Re: Basic (stupid) question about pot odds

I understand your confusion.

You take pot odds into consideration before you put money into the pot. You are getting 4-1 if you call.

Once that money is in the pot, it belongs to the pot.

You aren't getting 5:1 because the pot doesn't contain $50 when you call a $10 bet.
