احتمال/فرصة تكرارها لا تزال قائمة بنسبة 10 إلى1
Explanation:
With some little meditation and a deeper look into context , you will understand the play on words

The sentence has more than one idiomatic part which is expressed with some modification in its structure

"odds" is an idiomatic expression which means "what is expected"
"beyond coincidence" means that it can most likely happen and it is not a rare thing ..
so the translation can be
احتمال/فرصة تكرارها لا تزال قائمة بنسبة 10 إلى1
