Implied odds are basically the same as pot odds except the size of the pot is what the pot WILL be - not what it currently is.
If you make a $10 bet into a $15 pot and the other guy has a flush draw then he is only getting 2.5 on his money. But if he knows you have a good hand and you wont lay it down if he hits his flush then he knows he can get another $25 from you if he hits it then the pot will be $10+$15+$215=$50 in which case he is getting 5-to-1.
So implied odds = The money in the pot already + any money put into the pot on future rounds by OTHER players. With implied odds you count the money you put into the pot already but not any money you will put into the pot on future rounds - only other players future money.
