Re-read again maybe? With 5 outs with one card to come (aka on the turn waiting for the river), the odds of you hitting is 8:1 against.
Cole, definately re-read. If you have 5 outs on the turn, then you have 5 cards out of 46 that can improve your hand. 5/46 is about 1/9, which can be expressed as 8:1 against. You would need to make sure you have at least 8:1 pot odds to make a call here. In a heads up pot, this usually means the villans bet is so weak, a bluff raise is normally +EV.
Multiway, you need to be very dilegent to make sure your outs will not just improve your hand, but will improve you to the nuts, or at least a very likely winning hand. For instance, you have
 
on a
    board.
Technically, you have 2 outs to improve (either remaining Ace), but neither one will give you a winning hand in a multiway pot for the simple reason that someone else has the flush.
Make sense?
