AB You  might  be  most  familiar  with  odds  in  the  context  of  sporting  events,  when  bookmakers  or  newspaper  commentators  quote  the  odds  for  and  against  a  horse,  a  boxer,  or  a  tennis  player  winning  a  particular  event.  In  the  context  of  games,  suppose  you  have  a  typical  die  that  has  6  faces.  What  is  the  probability  (likelihood  or  chance)  of  rolling  a  4  on  a  single  throw?  The  answer  is  1/6.  What  is  the  probability  of  rolling  a  number  other  than  4?  The  answer  is  5/6.
