Gamer4life, 25:1 is 1/26. 25:1 notation is not useful for working out, it's just for gamblers at bookies. |
Correct. - Unless you predicted the exact 2 hands BEFORE the first hand was dealt. In which case the odds would be 1326 x 1326 = 1,758,276.
I'm quite sure you did not "predict" this event happening before the first hand was dealt so it's 1/1326.
Not sure how to calculate the ANNA K. bit, so I'll give you that one.
