Pot odds are literally the ratio of how much is in the pot compared to how much you need to contribute for your chance to win it. It's a reward:risk ratio, just like with a racehorse with 4:1 odds, or a lottery that pays 14 million to one or whatever. It doesn't matter who (else) put the money in the pot. You just need to weigh up the risk and reward at the specific decision point to see if you'll get a bigger slice of the pot than you're contributing.
