"For example, in a game of Texas hold'em, a player has 8♣ 6♠ with a flop of 9♥ 7♦ 2♣, The player has an open-ended straight draw and so has 8 outs (four 10s and four 5s). With 47 unknown cards, the player will make the straight approximately 1 time for every 5 times he doesn't, thus a bet is profitable if 6 or more of his opponents will call the bet (he will win once (+6 bets) and lose 5 times (-5 bets), out of every 6 hands like this, resulting in an expectation of +1 bet). If he thinks that less than 6 opponents will call the bet, he would lose money and must simply call."
