Good Odds

What exactly are good odds? I've been thinking about that a lot today. Are 50/50 good odds? What about 49/51? Or does it have to get to 51/49 before they become truly good? And who gets to decide?

I think that odds ~ like beauty, art, and pornography ~ are in the eye of the beholder. Each of us has to weigh them, measure them, and, finally, decide for ourselves. Personally, I don't know what good odds are. I do know I'll know 'em when I see 'em.

Those are Pobble Thoughts. That and a buck fifty will get you coffee.

If you broke the secret of good odds, Vegas would have you bumped off. And I like you. So shhhhh with the odds.

It's absolutely just a perception thing. If I had cancer and a doctor told me he had a 90% chance of curing me, I'd jump for joy. If I were preganant and the doc said I had 10% chance of having a child with birth defects, I'd bawl my eyes out. Depends on the person and the situation.

Hope all is well.

Good things are anything that pull in my favor, even if I have less that one percent of doing something...I still have something going to me...it's little but it's better than nothing.
