but if I win on the first try, then my odds for that try were 1-1, it's a proven fact, because I won.
There are no odds on a past event,or ,rather, you cannot establish odds on something that has its certainty of occurrence already established.You can look back from the future after an occurrence and decide on the probability of the outcome but only by saying how likely the occurrence of the event
would have been.
If you were to hit a ball down the fairway of a golf course and it lands on whatever given point how can you establish odds for the location of where it finally lands after it comes to rest since you no longer have any other possible outcome?
Now had you said that your odds for that
are instead of
were 1 in 1 then you might have a case however they are obviously no longer odds then are they?
