If what you want to happen, happens 9 times out of 10 times. Then that is almost all the time. Which is pretty great!

It depends on what you are talking about also. Say a pill guaranteed you wouldn't die from a cough 9 out of 10 times then you wouldn't be too happy.

If you mean the chance of winning in a casino then they are great odds.

if you could bet on a horse race and there were 10 races that day, and you won 9 of those races, wouldn't you thik that you were doing well?

and if you played 10 poker hands and you would win 9 of them, wouldn't you think you would become a millionaire real quickly?

yes, 9 out of 10 is usually great odds.

Nine times out of ten is 90%, so yes it is great odds.

It depends upon the stakes: would you bet your life on it? I would not. On the other hand, a hundred dollars at 10 to one odds, I might risk.

If you're buying lottery tickets - yes.

If you're playing Russian Roulette - not so good.
