Hmmm. Guaging my colloquialism I would have said:

Twice as likely as probability p (p small) means probability 2p.
Twice as likely as probability p (p not small) is meaningless.
Twice as unlikely as probability 1-p (p small) means probability 1-2p.
Twice as unlikely as probability p (p not near one) is meaningless.

Twice as small means half as big?
