For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.can't odds it - can't understand or predict something - the expression's origins are from the gambling world (possibly cards, dice, or horse-racing or all of these) where the word 'odds' has been converted from a noun into a verb to represent the complete term implied in the use, ie, (I can't) calculate the odds (relating to reasons for or likelihood of a particular occurrence). Odds meaning the different chances of contenders, as used in gambling, was first recorded in English in 1574 according to Chambers (etymology dictionary), so the use of the 'can't odds it' expression could conceivably be very old indeed.
