Convert 2 to 5 Odds to Probability

2 to 5 Odds means that there are 2 chances of one outcome and 5 chances of a different outcome.

We will call these different outcomes A and B. Thus, there are 2 A's and 5 B's in 2 to 5 Odds.

2 to 5 Odds can be written as a ratio of 2/5. Instead of a ratio, Probability shows the percent chance of the outcomes A and B.

The two formulas to convert Odds to Probabilities are as follows

(A/(A+B))*100 = A%
(B/(A+B))*100 = B%

When we plug the 2 to 5 Odds numbers into the formulas, we get:

(2/(2+5))*100 = 28.57%
(5/(2+5))*100 = 71.43%

Therefore, 2 to 5 Odds converts to the following Probabilities:

28.57% Probability of A

71.43% Probability of B

So instead of saying 2 to 5 Odds, you could say that there is a 28.57% Probability.
