What does 12:4 odds mean?

I saw an article that was listing the odds of SEC coaches being fired after this weekend. Coach O was listed at 7:1 while Sumlin was listed at 12:4.
I would think that Sumlin was on a much hotter seat than O but I don't know what 12:4 odds would mean. Is that 3:1?
If so, why not just state it as such?
Can one of you big brains help me understand/ interpret this?

You sure it wasn't 12:5? They normally reduce it to lowest denominator

Read same article. It's 12:4.
Maybe they used common core

If O doesn't beat Syracuse this weekend those odds drop to 2:1 by Monday.

By the logic of the second one the first one should be 25%

not it's 25% and it's 25% he gets fired first

Yeah its not 75%, its 25%
And O is 14.3%, not 1/8

Two things.
1) It would be a REALLY quick trigger to fire the guy that early in his tenure
2) I took LSU in my survivor pool this week

Fuzzy math is fuzzy.

Sounds like you've been to a cockfight, they call out bets sorta like that.
