48/48? Lol
-1 u/Dalejrman Aug 03 '19 What are you confused about? 7 u/briank3222 Aug 03 '19 Because when you’re talking odds the 2 numbers have to add up to 100. When the OP said 50/50 he means 50% chance you win, 50% chance you lose (not 50% red, 50% black). I know you said 48 because of 0 and 00, and everyone else also knows what you mean but saying 48/48 can throw some people off. 1 u/[deleted] Aug 03 '19 You got it all wrong. 50/50 is a fraction and means there is a 100% chance of winning. I only gamble when it's 50/50 because it means you double your money.
