It is 1/26 x 1/51 = 1/1326 because it doesn't matter which card you get first. So actually pretty common. It is the same whether you mean "I just got Q8, what are the odds I'll get that hand again" or "what are the odds I'll get the same hand twice in the next two hands".

Gamer4life, 25:1 is 1/26. 25:1 notation is not useful for working out, it's just for gamblers at bookies.
