Fifty-fifty odds on getting good service (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evensong

'service' is the definition.
(type of church service)

'fifty-fifty odds on getting good' is the wordplay.
'fifty-fifty odds' becomes 'evens' (betting term).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'evens'+'on'+'g'='EVENSONG'

(Other definitions for evensong that I've seen before include "... Prayers" , "Anglican service" , "Service of evening prayer in Church of England" , "Church service late in the day" , "6 [SERVICE] ?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
