Odds, Outs and all that Math

Hi all, I know I am a newbie around here, but would like to stay on this forum, I need help, is there a "basic" means of working out odds and outs, I have searched the web and found only hi-tech bla bla, that makes no sense 2 me. I have been playing for 10 years and cant keep up with these poker calculators people r using, I rather not purchase such thing if there r any simple methods, pls let me know.

tx all
