help me win a bet
Can anyone think of an extremely simple and irrefutable discussion of pot odds I can link a friend to? He's wrong and won't listen to me, and unfortunately so much of the discussion on the net is faulty as well...I don't have a copy of TOP or SSH handy, so i can't just point to page X....

Re: help me win a bet
pot odds is a fairly vast world - what specifically is the bet?

[/ QUOTE ] You guys just might be confusing yourself with the way you are saying this. Is it a 40 dollar pot, plus a 4 dollar bet from your opponent(thus making the pot 44 bucks, and not 40) or is it a 36 dollar pot with a 4 dollar bet from your opponent? One is 11 to 1, the other is 10 to 1 |

Re: help me win a bet
Exactly. The situation is that there's $40 in the pot. Action on me. Its 2-4 limit so i have to put in $4 to call. THe pot is laying me 10-1..
he was saying, with the bet i'd be putting in, i'm getting 11-1, which is wrong... Thanks for the link |

This is going to be one of those "I meant 1 IN 11, not 1 TO 11" discussions. Nobody's going to pay anybody off in this bet. -Sam |
