¿Qué significa odds are even?
  • Odds es otra manera de decir probability (probabilidad). Si los odds are even, eso significa que todas las posibilidades de una situación tienen la misma oportunidad de ocurrir. Esto también puede significar que un equipo/lado tiene una limitación - o que el otro tiene una ventaja - para igualar las posibilidades de victoria de los grupos opuestos. Por ejemplo: The slower runner has been given head start, so now the odds are even in the race.
