Probability of an event A is P(A) is the (chance of A)divided by (the total chances) and odd is (Chances for: Chances against) For example the probability of picking a 6 in a deck of cards is 4/52 and the odds are 4:52-4=4:48 or 1:12

If the odds against an event are 9.8 find the probability that the event will occur?
Odds against A = Probabillity against A / Probability for A Odds against A = (1 - Probabillity for A) / Probability for A 9.8 = (1 - Probabillity for A) / Probability for A 9.8 * Probability for A = 1 - Probability for A 10.8 * Probability for A = 1 Probability for A = 1 / 10.8 Probability for A = 0.0926
What is probability if odds are 5 to 3?
For 5 to 3 odds of winning; the probability of winning is 0.375 or 37.5%
How do you convert probabilities to odds?
Just take the probability, which is a decimal number between 0 and 1, and convert it into a fraction. For instance, a probability of 0.75 corresponds to odds of 3 in 4.

What does the odds mean in gambling?

Are odds the same quantity as probability?
No, but they are related. Suppose an experiment is repeated N times, and X outcomes are favourable to the event A. Then the probability of A is X/N The odds for A are X/(N - X) Note that (N-X) are the number of outcomes that are favourable to "not-A".
