You guys..... you are both right. Really you are.
The problem is the "WORDS"
When you turn your play ticket over and read the ODDS ....... those odds will never change. They will stay the same every day you turn over the ticket. LOL
If you ask the "God of Luck" each day ...."What are the ODDS on Pick 3 today" You will get the same answer every day...... No matter what the Game is doing. Basic 1 in a 1000 answer....OK?
Now......ask the "God of Luck" after 3 days in a row ....of the same number "123" hitting ..... "What are the Odds today" ? and the answer will be the same as always..... 1 in a 1000. But .....But...now ask the God of Luck another completely different question!
What is the "Probability" of 123 hitting for the 4th day in a row? "Well .....now"... he will say... that's different.
"The Odds remain the same .....but.... the probability is very... very remote." "Remote and exstream"... he will say.
The problem is the "Words"
People interchange the words without knowing or understanding the different meanings.
The "ODDS" on a coin toss will always be the same ...no matter what. The "probability" will change with each result.
Now here is another fine point which also goes un=noticed a lot.
A Coin contest can contain more than just one "Result"
We can have a Coin contest .....that is one flip ...and that would be one result.
or....or... We can have a Coin Contest that is 10 or 20 fiips or events in a row..... and still have only ONE result. We won or lost the one game .....of 20 flip events ...and had one result.
" Probability is when Math...... meets common sense."

Perhaps I need to change it to include ....
" Probability is when ODDS and Math meet common sense"
One of these words is ....esoteric and the other is exoteric .....but.... both words are more than just "Nuances" gang. LOL
There is a big difference between "Lightning" and "Lightning Bug"
