Does that make sense?

?!?!?!?! you now confused me more.. how 4 to 1 can be one chance in 5 ?!
as i'm trying to understand you wanted to say that 5 to 1 is 20% and with that calculation 4 to 1 is 25%.. uh.. if i'm right

but what is 5-2 then?! really hard for me to adjust to these odds but i must.. (we use decimals here.. like 1.25 i think that is 4-1 or 1-4 .. i mean if you put 10$ on 1.25 odd your winnings will be 2.5$)
