Hi all,
I am a bit confused about "what are the odds?". To the best of my knowledge, it basically means "what is the probability (or the chance?)".
But I've found that it has some different meanings.
What I am wondering is...
1. Is there any diffence between what ARE the odds and what IS the odds?
(One of my coworker from the U.K said she uses both of them in the same way)
2. Is there any other meanings that either of them has except the one I mentioned above?
I've found below on the net.
what's the odds?
it's not important; it doesn't matter
Example: We didn't win the competition but what's the odds?
Someone told me that it sometimes means "a situation or something is a bit weird".
Anyone who helps make this clear for me would be much appreciated.
Chris
