Is there any mathematical equation used to raise an opponents bet just enough to give that opponent say 2:1 or 3:1 etc on a call?

Ex Player bets 25$ into a 60$ pot and I want to raise an amount to give him x:1... say 2:1 or 3:1 or 4:1 wtv? Anyone know of an equationv

Sure.

Bet = Pot/(PotOdds -1)

For your example, the pot after villain bet are 85. If you want to give him pot odds of 3 to 1, we have

Bet = 85/(3-1) = 42.5

Then the pot becomes 85 + 42.5 = 127.5 and he has to invest 42.5 so pot odds to him are

127.5/42.5 = 3

127.5/42.5 = 3

I dont think this is right because if he bets and i raise 42.5 more (42.5+25=67.5) then the pot is now 152.5. Which he’s getting a little more than 3:1 (3.21:1).

If i wanted to give him 2:1 according to the equation would have to be
85/(2-1)=85. So 85$ + $25 villains bet= $110. The pot would now be $195. And villain would have to call $85 more to win $195 (getting a little more than 2:1)

Ahh, you’re right. The equation is okay for hero making the lead bet but it has to be adjusted for hero raising. Here is the revision for hero raising when villain bets V.Bet and your data when desired pot odds = 3:1

Raise = (Init Pot + V.Bet*(1+PO))/(PO-1) = (60 + 25*4)/2 = 80

Pot After Hero Raise = 85 + 80 = 165

Hero Raise = 80

Amount Villain Has to Call = 80 - 25 = 55

Pot Odds to Villain = 165/55 = 3 to 1

Yes this works! Thank you!!
