"4 to 1 odds on a bluff" means that he must be successful in his bluffing attempt at least 4 out of 5 attempts to break even.
Don't you mean unsuccessful? I don't usually bluff at pots with 4x pot bets.

4:1 is the ratio between his bet and the pot he will win if it is successful. So it only needs to work 2 out of 5 times to be profitable and 1 out of 5 times to break even.
