Rammer, the formula of 4-2 is to calculate "PERCENTAGE ODDS", not "RATIO ODDS". In your first example, if you have 2 outs after the flop, then you have 8% of hitting your hand (and 92% you will lose), you aren´t 8 to 1 underdog. If you want to calculate the ratio odds (if you know the percentage odds), then use this formula: (100/percentage) - 1.
   
 For example: If you have 6 outs after the flop, then your percentage odds is 24% (6 x 4 = 24). So your ratio odds is 3:1 (100/24 = 4 approximately. 4 - 1 = 3).
   
 ps: rammer, it was my imagination or your last post on this thread said that you compared the 4-2 formula with a hand odds chart and the results were completely different?...that´s the reason of why i replied you with this post, but it seems that you edited your post...(i don´t know why it doesn´t says that you edited it....maybe i´m really crazy).
 Well, anyway i hope that the rule of 4-2 will help you to calculate the hand odds, and the formula of the ratio odds is very helpfull to know your pot odds.
