I said, well the odds are about one in 225 to get aces.

You said "no, its about one in 245-250". Ok heres where you let yourslef down, because this is just plain wrong.

chances of getting aces are 1/13 x 3/52, which = 3/676 or 1 in 225.3 hands.

Its actually 220-1, but you were way closer!

Ok, i've stuffed up the quote thingy.

wow todd your game, telling macca he's got his maths wrong.

something tells me he wont agree with you.

and if he has the maths right there showing the calculation how could it be wrong.

but i will let you 2 boys sort this one out.

all i will say is that becareful not to stir a hornets nest.

Macca takes his maths verry serioulsy

[maccatak11]

yeah i did get my maths wrong. its 1/13 x 3/51 = 3/663 or 1/221

So not quite right todd, but way closer lol

[krunchie]

HAHAHAHAH


MACKAS MATHS WAS WRONG


LOL

It is 1 in 221 hands, making the odds 220 - 1. Get it?

[Nathan Butler]

That makes no sense Todd.

If it is 1 in 221 being dealt Aces, then for arguments sake you would be dealt aces on the 221st hand.

Making it 1/221 not 1/220. 1/220 = Aces on the 220th hand.

Num nuts

Wow i remember the start of this topic.

When did it get so derailed????

Ok, since the sand-weiner has weighed into the debate, let me dumb it down a bit.

In 221 possible hand combinations:

1 combination is AA
220 combinations are not.

The odds are 220-1 of getting dealt Aces.

And, in a completely unrelated topic again this thread, Emily plays WAAAY better poker than Nathan.

And, in a completely unrelated topic again this thread, EVERYBODY plays WAAAY better poker than Nathan.
