How do you calculate the odds of something?

If there were 10 sock in a basket and 2 were red and 8 were blue then the odds of getting a red sock is 2/10 which can be simplified to 1/5. This means that if you picked a sock from the basket 5 times (each time throwing it back) you would most likely get 1 red sock and 4 blue socks. The odds of getting a blue sock is 8/10. This can be simplified to 4/5. Basically you take the total and put it as the denominator. Then you take the total number of the object (in this case the socks) and put it as the numerator. Got it? Hope this helped!! :)


What are the odds of hitting 2 straits in a row at 5 card stud?

The odds of hitting 2 straights in a row at 5 card stud is about 5%. Since the deck is reshuffled between deals, the two hands are sequentially unrelated, so the odds of two deals with two straights is simply th odds of one times the odds of another. In order to draw a straight, you need to draw an ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, or a 10, jack, queen, king, ace, assuming that ace can be high or low. The odds of drawing one of these cards is 10 in 13, but you have 5 chances to do so, so the odds of drawing the first card is 50 in 13. The odds of drawing the second card is 39 in 51, but you have 4 chances to do so, so the odds of drawing the second card is 156 in 51. Similarly, the odds of drawing the third, fourth, and fifith card is 38 in 50, 37 in 49, and 36 in 48. Multiply these odds and you get 19,740,240 in 77,968,800. Reducing that to lowest terms, you get 246,753 in 1,112,110, which is the odds of drawing a straight. The numeric value of the odds is 0.22187823146990855221156180593646, or about 22% Square that and you get 60,887,043,009 in 1,236,788,652,100. That is aready in lowest terms, so that is the odds of drawing two sequential straights. The numeric value of the odds is 0.049229949600214317813758989938262, or about 5%.
