In the Wikipedia article, take a look at the table below the words "These are worked out for some simple odds". The odds that TobyBartels is talking about, which one gets by dividing the numbers in an "n to m" expression, and which go from zero to infinity, are shown in the second and third columns of that table (o_f and o_a). Probabilities, which go from 0 to 1 or 0% to 100%, are shown in the fourth and fifth columns (p and q).
