English term or phrase: a long-shot
Hah! You sure are a quick one! Tell you what, since you were such ***a long-shot***, and I made such a tidy profit on your run, why don't you take this bracelet. Just a little something I picked up along the way.

Hallo!

Ich hätte gern gewusst, wie long-shot zu üs ist.

Danke.
