Book of Odds

The Book of Odds contains hundreds of thousands of Odds Statements, from the odds of being the only one to survive a plane crash, to the odds of having a heart attack, to the odds of having ever eaten cold pizza for breakfast. The company's mission is to increase knowledge of and intuition about probabilities.

  • Search for odds of concern or interest.
  • Compare the odds of events both unfamiliar and mundane.
  • Explore calibration pairs, comparison pairs, topical lists, time series, geographic distributions, and more.
  • View odds in probability order.
  • Create the "Odds of Me," a list of Odds Statements that apply directly to you. ("I am that 1 in 287!")
... and much more.



Complete your collection of Ask Dr. Math books--the fourth book is now available, covering a typical high school geometry class. Dr. Math Gets You Ready for Algebra, Dr. Math Explains Algebra, Dr. Math Introduces Geometry, and our latest, Dr. Math Presents More Geometry, are all in stores now.
