Of course if you are facing a timid opponent a big bet to get him/her to fold is the right move in my opinion.
To find out your odds, just count all unknown cards. That is 52 minus your 2 hole cards, and the 3 board cards, for a total of 47 (52-5=47).

4 cards make your gutshot straight, so it's 47/4 or about 12:1.
