Odds of the first woman getting points (5)
I believe the answer is:
evens
'odds' is the definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)
'first woman getting points' is the wordplay.
'first woman' becomes 'Eve' (first woman in the bible).
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'points' becomes 'Ns' (two compass points).
'eve'+'ns'='EVENS'
'of the' is the link.
(Other definitions for evens that I've seen before include "Exchange, substitute" , "Quits" , "Odds offering equal chance of win or lose" , "decreases" , "Level betting" .)
