If the odds on a bet are 13:1 against, then the probability of winning can be found using the formula:

probability of winning = 1 / (odds against + 1)

Substituting the given values, we get:

probability of winning = 1 / (13 + 1) = 1/14

Therefore, the probability of winning is 1/14 as a fraction.
