Convert 72 to 1 Odds to Probability

72 to 1 Odds means that there are 72 chances of one outcome and 1 chances of a different outcome.

We will call these different outcomes A and B. Thus, there are 72 A's and 1 B's in 72 to 1 Odds.

72 to 1 Odds can be written as a ratio of 72/1. 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 72 to 1 Odds numbers into the formulas, we get:

(72/(72+1))*100 = 98.63%
(1/(72+1))*100 = 1.37%

Therefore, 72 to 1 Odds converts to the following Probabilities:

98.63% Probability of A

1.37% Probability of B

So instead of saying 72 to 1 Odds, you could say that there is a 98.63% Probability.
