Odds

Is anyone else fascinated by how odds work? I sort of am even though odds and probability and all that stuff, but that sort of adds to the mystique.

I think the weird thing is that it isn't very intuitive, at least not to me. Like how saying something has a one in ten chance of happening doesn't mean it'll happen one every ten times.

Or how flipping a coin 5 times and getting HHHHH as the result is just as likely as flipping the same coin 5 times and getting HTHTH.

I don't really get this stuff. This is probably why I wouldn't be a very good gambler.
