do better than the odds
If you play a 3 person game, you have a 33% chance of winning
if you play 3 of those games, the oldds say you should win 1 of them.
Could you tell me if this is a correct and natural way to say this?
If not how would you say it?
I did better than the odds (say) and one 2 of the 3.
I did as the odds say and one 1 of the 3.
I didn't do as well as the odds say and won none.
Thank you
