There are 6 red face cards in a 52-card deck (so 46 other cards).
PROBABILITIES compare the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes:
The PROBABILITY of getting a red face card is 6/52 = 3/26.
The PROBABILITY of NOT getting a red face card is 46/52 = 23/26.
ODDS compare the number of favorable outcomes to the non-favorable outcomes:
The odds IN FAVOR OF getting a red face card are 6:46 = 3:23.
The odds AGAINST getting a red face card are 46:6 = 23:3.
