Please help me, what does this question mean, "What were the odds?" ? Thank you!
"What were the odds?" can mean three things:
1. What was the probability of (something) happening? ("What were the odds of guessing six questions correctly?")
2. Something you say when you can't believe that something happened—because it was almost impossible to achieve. ("James won the national writing competition? What were the odds?!")
3. In betting (gambling), it's the ratio by which one better's wager is greater than that of another. ("What were the odds for yesterday's championship match?" "They offered me odds of three to one.")
