The odds of any simple event occurring is expressed by a RATIO. The numerator is the number of ways the event in question can occur. The denominator is to total possible outcomes.
For example, the odds of rolling a 3 on a six sided die would be 1/6 th. There is only 1 way a 3 can occur, so the numerator is 1. But, there are six possible outcomes total, so the denominator is 6.
Does this help?

Simple? Likelihood.
Technical? Probability.
