Learning the Ropes "outs' "odds"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Everyone,
I've recently played my first table game (last month) and I have been hooked ever since. But I want to be smart about my bankroll so I have decided to learn a heck of a lot more strategy. I have grasped the majority of the strategy but I'm still a little fuzzy about "outs" and "calculating odds." I am not mathematically inclined and was wondering if anyone had any easier methods to calculate outs and odds and when is it necessary to do so. Thanks!!
