Ends embargo around island business - what's the chances of that? (4)
I believe the answer is:
odds
'the chances of that?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'ends embargo around island business' is the wordplay.
'ends' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letters of 'embargo around island business' are 'ODDS'.
'what's' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for odds that I've seen before include "Partial darkness" , "(In betting) chances" , "prices" , "Betting ratio" , "Chances of occurrence" .)
