Answer:

The probability of winning the bet is 2/3

Explanation:

there is 2 to 3 in favor for you winning the bet, to work out the probability you need to enter the chances, (the '2' for this example) for the numerator; and the 'out of' (the '3' for this example) for the denominator. That results in getting 2/3.
