So if we're calling 1 to win 3, we solve for x such that the function x/1-x = 1/3. In this case, x would be 25%. So our chance to win must be at least 25:75 = 1:3, which is the same as the call of 1: pot of 3 odds we were given.

To go further, we just set up a different EV equation and solve that one the same way.
I can chase gutshots gettin 3-1? That doesn't sound right. Perhaps i am misunderstanding you?
