About everyone knows the term "ballpark" as used with estimates etc. For those that don't, it's just a colorful substitute for the term "approximate" which sounds like an excuse for a lack of accuracy.
The purpose for this page is to present an easy to remember guide that can be used in the heat of battle at the tables. The ballpark chances shown are rounded whole numbers used to make the "odds against". This approach assumes that a "ballpark" 7 to 1 is easier to remember than 6.73* to 1 or 12.94% percent to make. . . . . . . *(Note): 6.50 is rounded up to 7 and 6.49 is rounded down to 6.

Note:
The ballpark odds against drawing two cards to an open end straight flop,
and drawing two cards to a four card flush are shown to be the same when
they are rounded out at 2 to 1. Actually the flush draw is just a little
easier to make than the straight because it has 9 outs in the 47 unseen
and the open end straight
draw only has 8. The true flush draw odds are 1.9 to 1 vs. 2.2 to 1 for
the straight. . The other odds in these two catagories also slightly favor
the flush draws in a similar way.
