Implied Odds and Reverse Implied Odds

by MiiWiin

People often ask questions about implied odds or reverse implied odds, but these are rarely answered directly.

You give yourself implied odds if you assume you will make a profit on future streets. Reverse implied odds on the other hand, indicate that you'll probably lose more on coming streets than you'll win. 

A couple of spots should shed some light on the subject.

Good luck!
