Pot Odds Calculator
Think of pot odds in this manner: Suppose you are at a raffle. The raffle is giving away $100 in cash to a lucky winner. You have a 20% chance of winning. How much would you spend to have a 20% chance to win $100? The correct answer is up to $20. Your ‘expected’ win is $20 (.20 * $100 = $20)… more
A poker pot is very similar to this raffle. However, your ‘ticket’ is a bet, and it also becomes part of the prize. If the pot is $100 and you must call $20, you will in fact be winning $120 if you win (the pot plus your bet). Thus, you need at least a 20/120 chance to win (16.7%)
