BJinfo is right.
This is a common mistake when we try to figure out the odds. In fact I made the same mistakes from time to time.
To better understand why the odds cannot be add up, consider you flip 2 coins once. What's the chance of getting at least one face?
The outcome can be
face,face (25%)
no face, face (25%)
face, no face (25%)
no face, no face (25%)
As you can see, you have 25% chance not getting a face so the chance of getting at least one face is 1-25%=75%, not 50%+50%=100%.
