What Are The Odds
What are
the odds? This expression is as American as corn dogs and Coca-Cola. It
is usually used in a rhetorical sense though, when somebody asks it aloud but
they don't expect an answer.
For example, you may be late for an important meeting one day. You're doing your
best Michael Andretti impersonation as you screech your way towards the highway
onramp. Trying not to spill your 'lava hot' Starbucks coffee on your lap, you
switch on the radio just as you hit the ramp.
You're just in time to hear the traffic reporter announce that the very same highway
you have just raced your way onto is backed up for ten miles because of an
overturned truck. You look at your reflection in the mirror and ask, 'What
are the odds?'
You don't need an answer. It's a question that just needs to be asked...out
loud.
If you can relate to this story, don't worry you're not alone. Millions of
people have similar experiences every day all over the world. The point of the
story however is how nobody actually seems to say 'what are the odds' before
something good happens with or without knowing it.
Except, perhaps, for a guy called 'Tony'. Tony is an avid online gambler. He was
recently playing
Major Millions progressive
online slots when he thought to himself, 'I'll play another $100. If I lose this, I think
I'll quit for good'.
Tony deposited the money and resumed play. Looking at the online progressive jackpot
meter, he said out loud, 'what are the odds?'
Literally less than a minute after he said it, according to his wife who
witnessed the whole thing, the screen of his PC showed the followed message,
'Congratulations! You've Won the Major Millions $1.6 Million Jackpot!' and he
had.
