Odds are set by Backflip. I don't know that anyone on this wiki knows which odds are "better." I suspect that Backflip tweaks odds, too. We do know that the odds are set lower for rare dragons. It often seems that dragons with longer breeding times have lower odds because we try for DAYS and don't get it, but that may simply be because we have fewer chances to get a dragon if we have a lot of longer fails. For example, I could get Topaz fairly quickly because the fail times were short so I had more opportunities to try in a day. And there's a random component, so some people will get a rare dragon quickly and some won't get it at all, even after trying in multiple places for days/ weeks/ months.
