Default Re: ODDs math question

No, this is wrong. Consider flipping a fair coin twice. The probability of getting heads the first flip is .5. The probability of getting heads the second flip is .5. Let's say you "win" if you get heads either time. According to your way of looking at this you win every time since .5+.5=1.
