So you have a 1:47 chance to hit, and it only cost you 1:40 on your money to see the next card. So for every dollar put in you are earning 15 cents because 40 is ~85% of 47. So without implied odds this call is +ev.
I think my math is sound.. correct me if Im wrong.
Boost, I always use chardians method to figure out pot odds but I think, and Im probably wrong, that something is wrong with you math here. Youre being offered 1:5 odds on the call and need 8:39 to call (8:39 = 8/47) so then if you simplify like you did and multiply 1*8:5*8 to get 8:40, youll end up with a 8:39 chance to hit andyou'll have 8:40 odds to call. 8:40 = 16.7% (percentage put in pot) and 8:39=17% (chance to hit) and b/c 17% is greater than 16.7% you should call(chance of hitting is greater than the % your putting into the pot). Since the percentages are so close this is simply an even play

again im probably wrong since i never use ratios to calculate pot odds
