odds-on

Could the (thus far) timid trembling give way to a full-on, grand mal seizure?

I drew back from the rim of Writing-On-the-Stone, that set of whispered phrases echoing in my ears.

The cupidity of a man had evidently led him to collect together these odds and ends, and try to turn them to profitable account.

Meadows began to play inner planet combinations that occasionally paid, though at short odds.

We made a good fight I know, the odds were in our favour and success seemed assured.

A stronger man would have fought against odds like those and won for himself a place that would suffer no denial.
