Probability is odds. It is the odds of a certain event occuring, often an example being pulling a certain card out of a deck. People use it today in many ways to predict the likelihood of anything from card counting at the tables in Vegas to the odds of a terror attack in your neighborhood. It is also used to make decisions such as military decisions (the premise/beginning of Eagle Eye movie)
