Probability is given as positive outcomes over total outcomes.
Out of 100 outcomes, 26 will be selling a car.
Out of that same 100 outcomes, 74 will be not selling a car.
Odds are given as outcomes for to outcomes against.
Odds for not selling a car would then be 74 to 26, or in lowest terms 37 to 13.
