Odds, are given as (chances for success) : (chances against success) or vice versa. If odds are stated as an A to B chance of winning then the probability of winning is given as PWin = A / (A + B) while the probability of losing is given as PLose = B / (A + B).
=
Number of Unfavourable Choices : Number of Favorable Choices Or Number of Failures : Number of Successes
