(You're betting 5 to win 15 and 5 is 33% of 15)

aren't you betting 5 to win 10 here? your opponent is calling 5 to win 15.
lol, I suck at pot odds - I don't actually know.

I can never remember whether or not the money you put in becomes part of the counted pot.

After your money is in the pot it is part of the pot. Not before.
