HOW TO CALCULATE THE ODDS

WHAT DOES 2 TO 1 MEAN:  for openers it is the same as 4 to 2;  note the minimum bet is $2

if you bet $2 and win, you get $4 plus your $2 bet back for a total of $6.

which means your chances of winning are 1 in 3 or 1/3

for example: 

bet 2 and lose, accumulated cost = $2

bet 2 again and lose, accumulated cost = $4

bet 2 a third time and and win, accumulated cost = $0;  one of three chances

SUMMARY:  IF ODDS ARE X TO Y, THEN THE CHANCE OF WINNING IS Y/(X+Y)

SUMMARY:  IF ODDS ARE A TO B, THEN THE CHANCE OF WINNING IS B/(A+B)

THE LOUIS FREEH REPORT on PENN STATE

two of my close fiiends, Tom and Jean,  did not like the Freeh Report on Penn State & Sandusky


I read the report for the third time.  I settled on the words "humane treatment."  That's all I had to read:  Paterno and Penn State are guilty.  


Humane Treatment is the typical academic rallying cry. Worry about the prisoner and not the victim.  Worry about the mother during normal delivery when they crush the skull of the newborn seconds before delivery. and I am prolife. The more humane way, according to Paterno, to treat Sandusky is to get him counseling and keep the story under wraps.

BTW, my friend Tom was our best man, and he won the religion medal in grammar school. He was a successful patent attorney but not as i had hoped a clear thinking libertarian

My friend Jean and I go back to Travelers' data processing.  He was one of those genius planners. When he retired 15 years ago he took up painting as a hobby.  He turned about to be a world class painter and his work is hanging in museums, libraries, cathedrals, etc. 

read the article below or go to the Freeh Report link.  I could not copy the Freeh Report, it is locked for fear that rabid Penn Staters will alter the text, but it is an easy read, all 270 pages, including emails and hand written notes.


Sandusky was a phys ed teacher but was given full professorship status.  he raped moire than 40 boys at least 100s of times.


Yet the culture at Penn State denies this.  the Three School officials will go to jail, for sure

GOD PARTICLE - HIGGS PARTICLE

God particle' discovery beats fireworks for scientists 4 hrs ago related links Scientists uncover 'God particle' The Higgs Boson made simple How the Higgs particle gives things mass It may be the Fourth of July, but science enthusiasts around the world now have another reason to celebrate. As widely expected, those super brainy scientists over at CERN, in Switzerland, announced today that after more than 40 years of searching they had "discovered a particle consistent with" that elusive "God particle" (aka Higgs boson). As we all remember from science class, it's rather complicated, but amazingly, that one little particle could explain how matter attains mass and help explain the workings of our entire universe. The team is calling the results "very preliminary," but it's enough to have the science community breaking out the champagne.

HOW THE HIGGS PARTICLE GIVES MASS

By Natalie Wolchover
updated 7/3/2012 2:18:56 PM ET

The infamous Higgs particle has a weighty task: It grants all the other elementary particles their mass. Without it, they — we — would zip around frantically at the speed of light, too foot-loose to form atoms. But how does the Higgs do it?
