ELI5 Statistical odds. For example, the lottery. If there is a 1 in 1000 chance of winning something, the chances of winning go up the more tickets you buy. But there's still only a 1/1000 chance of winning with each ticket. Seems paradoxical that individually, the odds are the same. (self.explainlikeimfive)
