Poker is largely mathematics. In order to win the race, You need to make decisions with a positive Mat. expectation, that is such, that you are beneficial and will win. Newcomers often do not realize how important mathematical aspect of the game, trying to take the Bank at any cost, and at a distance are the cons.
When You put chips in the pot, You need to understand is it good to You. Whether the cost of chips that You intend to invest in comparison with chip that is already there, and, in General, no matter what You put earlier, if the chips on the table, they're not Your right to have all those who remain in the game.
And I had a desire to reduce the time to count the odds. Dedicating this certain amount of time, and making small calculations I noticed that the chances of the Bank directly depend on what percentage of the Bank made a bet. Then my data I put in the table.
% of the pot Odds Minimum number of outs
Two cards to one card
5% 4.7 6 3
10% 9 4 3
15% 13 6 3
20% 16.6 8 4
25% 20 10 5
30% 23 11 6
35% 25.9 12 7
40% 28.57 14 8
45% 31 15 8
50% 33.3 16 9
55% 35 17 9
60% 37.5 18 10
65% 39 11 19
70% 41 11 20
75% 42.8 21 12
80% 44 12 22
85% 45.5 22 13
90% 47. 4 23 13
95% 48.7 24 14
100% 50 24 14

For example, if the Bank had 100 chips, and the rate of 50 chips(50%) then the chances of the Bank, according to the table, will be equal to 33.3%, and the minimum number of outs for the adjustment of this bet will be for one card 16 outs, and two 9.
Leave your comments, I really appreciate opinions of each of you on the work done.

Here is my suggestion:
it may be more convenient to have the bet size as percentage of the pot before the bet. Say, you bet 40 into a 60 pot, then this is 2/3. And you odds are (2/3)/(1+2/3) = (2/3)/(5/3) = 2/5 = 40% equity. You see how the 3's disappear and you are left with a clean fraction. Now you can make a table similar to yours, but just with the 1/3, 1/2 etc on the left.
