Default

To get the actual chance add the first number to the second

e.g 7/1 is a 1 in 8 chance, 9/2 is a 2 in 11 chance and 1/7 is a 7 in 8 chance.

Although bookmakers odds reflect how much money has been placed where, rather than the actual chance of the event happening.

If a lot of people bet on a particular housemate the odds for that HM will go down.
