Probabilities and downside to releasing wine (4)
I believe the answer is:
odds
'probabilities' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for odds that I've seen before include "at this is in dispute" , "Variance" , "Bookies give them" , "inequality" , "Ratios set by bookies" .)
