Usage of "of"

It is highly appreciated if any teachers / buddies can help to interpret the meaning of the following phrase:
"the betting preferences of the owner of the probability judgement".

Thanks:)

It is highly appreciated if any teachers / buddies can help to interpret the meaning of the following phrase: "the betting preferences of the owner of the probability judgement". It's very unnatural to say that someone is 'the owner of the probability judgement'. I don't really know clearly what it means.

  • Or why not just talk about his betting preferences, since surely the idea of 'betting' obviously involves the judgement of probabilities?

Thanks Cilve:)
This statement is quoted from a textbook (about Beyesian Decesion Analysis) which used a lot of "long sentence", which is quite verbose

It's probably 'the [probability judgement] owner's preferences [with regard to betting]'.

It still doesn't mean much.
