    10/1 fractional odds

    11.0 decimal odds.

    10/1

    this might be stupid, but is it a bet of $100 into a $900 pot,
    or the pot is $1000 and then villian bets $100.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,404 ✭✭✭Goodluck2me


    the pot is 1000, it is 100 MORE to call.

    I thought it was 10/1 but valor argued it was 11/1. please tell him this via pm if possible in no more than 4 words. thanks

    just to clarify.


    is there 1000 in the middle. then the other guy bets 100?

    or is there 900 in the middle. and then he bets 100?

    if it makes it easier we`ll say there is NOW 1000 in the pot, you are last to act and the bet is 100 to you to call.
    Basically 100 for you to win 1000 pot, i make it 10-1. as if you backed a horse at 10-1 staked 100 you would get 1000 winnings and the 100 stake back.

    Yup

    But won't you be winning a pot of 1100 as your final 100 will be included?

    yes, hence 10/1, you win ten bets and get your original bet back too.

    It is really straightforward, I can't see why anyone is confused. The final pot after calling is made up of 10 parts the potential winnings, 1 part your bet, hence 10/1.

    Isn't hence a great word?

    ok gotcha. just was put off when someone said you only win 1000 pot.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,266 ✭✭✭Rnger


    Its easier to think of this in terms of a pot sized bet.

    The pot is $50 and the villian bets $50, thus it is $50 for you to call into a pot of $100.

    Your getting 2/1, not 3/1

    this is where it came up. i was watching HSP with Valor and it was c60K for someoen to call, and there was 140K in the midde, i said he was getting nearly 2.5/1 Valor reckoned it was 3.5/1. he said put it up on boards so i did.... Anyone PM`d him yet??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,004 ✭✭✭pok3rplaya


    It's 3.5-1 and if there is confusion about this it is because of a misunderstanding in the wording of the question

    Flop comes out,
    pot is 140
    player 1 bets 60,
    player 2 his getting odds of 200-60
    which roughly equals 3.5-1


    END OF THREAD LOCK PLZ


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,434 ✭✭✭cardshark202


    I would have been shocked if valor got a simple odds question wrong. 3.5/1
    END OF THREAD LOCK PLZ


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,404 ✭✭✭Goodluck2me


    lol
    here is the action.....
    pot is 50K, there is a bet by player A for 30K - player B greenstein goes all in for around 95K, it is now 65K for Player A to call, the pot is 152k before he puts anymore money in. so its 65K to win a pot of 170K+stake back. who wants to say that is 3.5:1???

    thank you. feel free to lock, but i was correct in this occasion.

    that is wrong it is 80 - 60 (140) and now it is 60 to call to win 140.

    Pot = 140, Bet = 60, Cost to call = 60:

    %BE = 60/(140+60+60) = ~23%
    Convert to odds = ~3.33/1

    Pot = (50K + 30K + 30K), Bet = 65K, Cost to call = 65K

    %BE = 65/(110+65+65) = ~27%
    Convert to odds = ~2.7/1

    I have a feeling that people are just mixing up pot sizes, etc.

    yeah people were just mixing up the pot, counting the bet on top of the pot rather than part of it, its 2.7
