Odds are failure over success.
We ned probability.
p(3 numbers) = 10C3/(10*9*8) = 1/6
success = 1
fail = 5
total = 6
So, I would say,
5:1

3 odd, 0 even=odd
2odd, 1 even=even
1odd, 2 even=odd
0 odd, 3 even=even
.
Since 1/2 the balls are even and 1/2 odd, (zero is even) then the probability is 1/2 and the odds are even or 1 to 1.
