  1. Against the odds? I like a good challenge. Yes, that one seems fittng. Yet im somehow at odds with it.
    Ratios and algorithms… Mathematical blah blah jargon.
    Hmmmm. Evens? Yes! Thats it! That one will do just fine.
    What are the odds?
    I am so odd.

  2. What are the odds that of all the gin joints in the world, I’d end up walking into the one where you worked? Pretty good, you say, you think I googled you and came here on purpose. Maybe but I don’t think so. I prefer to think that fate and the odds brought us together again after all this time. So there!

  3. Odds dods sods wads.
    I mutter as I can’t really think of anything to write about odds.
    Just some silly words that rhyme.
    One of them isn’t even real.
    Mods pods bods gods.

  4. The odds weren’t good. The black and red dices rolled, and tumbled over into single digits. Everything was stacked against us. But that didn’t stop us. We rushed against Fate, like a wild wind, unstoppable at the outset. But then the board lurched, the game changed. Things got harder. Losing became second nature. Too many bad hands led to a battering of hearts. We let go. Took our winnings and left. Now I still think of you with a rolled-up Ace of Hearts up my sleeve, grinning mischievously from its hiding place.

  5. The odds were against them, not doubt about it. It wasn’t often that four men could go up against 15 and win. Well, technically 14 men and a woman, but forget technicalities. This was dangerous business here and now, but the odds weren’t going to stop them. They never had before.

  6. I’m at odds with my odds
    too many variables
    the shape of a snowflake
    and where it will fall
    the fine detail of a finger print
    the iris, the permutations of life

  7. Cleaning her room she throw odds and ends into a basket. Finally when she was at end upon exhaustion she picked up a bunch of magazines, there it was, hidden amongst little things of no value was the one book which held more value than anything- her Bible.

  8. disagreement.
    the chance to
    win everything
    as far as the eye can see.
    the numbers
    that aren’t even.
    and perhaps a plural
    look at things that defy
    normal.

  9. It may be one against a thousand or a knife against a pistol… but never, ever tell me the odds.

  10. He knew the odds were 40/60 against him, but he had a feeling. As the dealer turned up the first 3 cards the odds got worse. Still, the feeling persisted, so he bet. The 4th card was flipped. Nothing. And he now had only 2 cards out of 48 that could help him. Not good, but the feeling was there, stronger than ever. More money flowed into the pot, and his nemesis just stared at him with nothing showing in her eyes. Others had now gathered round the table to watch. This kind of excitement in a card room is the fuel for stories told later over cheap beer and peanuts. The dealer casually glanced at the camera in the ceiling, then at the tournament director. The dust hung in the room, and all other sound had stopped. The dealer nodded almost imperceptibly, glanced at the two players, and reached for the 5th and final card …

  11. Odds is a unknown word for me. I´ve tried to look up it in the dictionary but its meaning is really uncertain

  16. at odd times
    we find out
    locked-out self-esteem

    even as we rhyme
    with great rhythm and reason
    we commit treason
    to the self,
    the building pressure of steam

  31. The cat jumped out at me when I open the garage. It was greatly shocking in the rarely lit backyard. When I went it to retrieve the rake and reclosed the door, it occurred to me that we probably hadn’t opened the garage since the previous winter to get the shovel. Also, we don’t even have a cat.

  32. Well, there are odd numbers and even numbers. Odds are also used to explain the probability of something or the chances there are of something happening.

  33. Your everyday existence in life is solely dependent upon your odds on various tasks. You are here because you were born and survive until today, either following or going against your odds. You complete tasks and the result either makes sense with your odds, or goes against it. If you have beat your odds, consider yourself lucky. Everyday people go with their odds and do something that’d sheathed not have happen to them. Be happy, for the odds are against you.

  36. Im not really a fan of odd numbers and I’m not really sure why. Maybe it’s because my birthday falls on an even day, the 2nd or maybe is because odd numbers just can’t be divided into two whole numbers. I’m almost superstitious about odd numbers; they carry some kind of omen.

  37. What are the odds of that? Something append that seems far fetched. Someone can also be odd to you because they are dissimilar.

  40. The odds that Jessica will ever act her age are slimmer than if a baby started to act like Benjamin Button. Jessica is ODD. She acts ODD. I don’t understand her. But whatever, I guess everyone has something ODD about them.
