Definition of 'a probability'

A probability is something that is more than a mere logical possibility. I also think that it is stronger than a mere physical possibility (I'm a regularity theorist). Here's one definition of it: p is a probability iff Pr(p)=>0. I'm not sure about this definition. It may be that my proposed definition is best taken as a necessary condition of 'a probability' but not a sufficient.
