What's the meaning of " the odds"?
It's May, the season when millions of college students are scrambling to find a way to pay next year's tuition. Most will borrow, and the odds are good those loans will come from (a company called) Sallie Mae.
In the above passage, I think the meaning of " the odds" is some people.
I checked the dictionaries, but I can't find the the same explanation as I thought.
So could you tell me the correct meaning or the "the odds are good"
Thanks
