Re: Basic pot odds question
No, your own bet is not included. In sports betting, if you make a bet paying 2:1, that means you will get back your original bet plus twice your bet in profit. If pot odds are 2:1, it means if you call and win you will receive your bet back plus twice your bet in profit.
Edit: Note that in you example the pot odds are 11:1 though, because A's bet IS included, so the pot is its starting 500 plus the bet of 50, for 550 in total. 550:50 = 11:1. If your call were also (incorrectly) included, it would be 12:1.
