That's about what I figured.

As for how it works: Let's say your Agility is 3. For all Agility-related Tricks of the Trade other than those you've improved by one point through experience, you will roll 3d6 and declare "odds" or "evens." So, if the difficulty number is 4 and you roll 5, 3, 5, you'd have two successes if you had declared "odds" and no successes if you'd declared "evens."

Yeah -- that's what it sounded like, but I rejected that possibility as being too illogical. If the difficulty number is even, then you'll have a better chance of success if you declare evens. So there's no reason why anyone would benefit from declaring odds. It's a meaningless choice that only serves to screw up the probability curve.
(What I mean: suppose you're only rolling a single die. Normally, increasing or decreasing the difficulty by 1 would have a consistent effect on the chance of success. However, when you add in this gimmick, the effect of a +/-1 change in difficulty seesaws back and forth between large and small jumps in probability of success.)
