You’ve been told wrong.
3 to 1 pot odds means the win amount if you win is 3 and the amount you risk, the call amount, is 1. Therefore, after you call, the total pot is 3+1=4 and you have contributed ¼ of that.
Your “fair” share of the total pot is ¼ and that is the needed win probability to break-even so that EV=0. If your equity is less than that, then EV is negative.
