This is one of those really weird English sayings. I'm going to go out on a limb and claim that no one, ever, under any circumstances, "beats" the odds.
Whatever we do, or whatever happens to us, the event is associated with some probability on some level. We may do many things to affect or change the probabilities, ranging from out-and-out cheating to all kinds of legitimate steps to improve the odds, but whatever happens next can be analyzed in terms of the actual remaining probabilities. If I have manipulated a situation in such a way that an outcome is certain, then I haven't "beaten" the odds, I have taken action to see that the odds are "one in one".
If a rare event occurs, (winning a lottery), I haven't "beaten the odds", it's simply a matter of events unfolding as they did.
Or.. It could mean:

Odd numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. The meaning is that they are numbers that are not even. Take the number 3 for example. It has enough ones in it that can make a pair, but it has one left over. That's the thing with odd numbers. They always have one left over. - Answer Girl
