I can't imagine how you would get odds here.  Gutshot is a bad example here I think.

OESD could happen often, and might be easier to think about.  Most all the readers here will have experienced the OESD conundrum, and the closly associated FD (very similar hand odds).

Assuming for a moment that whatever you do will not cripple you if things go bad, then in a 5 way pot, the odds you say exist almost demand a call.

If you are comfortable chasing a gutshot, the odds could also demand a call here.

In this case (the gutshot) though your other outs (pairing) may be useless.

Perhaps the lower the hand odds, the higher your comfort level and the realistic the pure math part of the problem can be relied on.  At some point though the pot odds vs hand odds break down from a human understanding perspective because of so many still in the pot.

My reply here should also contain a caution to err on the side of survivability, and ask why the hell are you chasing gutshots?
