Edit 4/1/2024: I no longer use this deck. Since publishing this, I think I've gotten better at learning how to use Anki effectively — I endorse some better version of this deck, whereby you memorize translations between odds and percentages, but I don't endorse this deck.

Quickly translating between odds and percentages can be pretty helpful for intuitive forecasting. I made a flashcard deck to improve my translation skills; you can download the CSV file below, then import it to Anki, Quizlet, or whatever you use for flashcards.

Thanks for reading. You can reach out to share your thoughts with me here — I’m particularly interested in hearing from you if you found this unusually valuable and/or wrong.
