Is it stupid? I expect anyone who hasn't touched probability in over a decade to give an incorrect answer like this one. The person (who is probably banned from this site for making such stupid accusations as this one) is incorrect. If your chance of making quads in a hand of video poker is 1/420, what are the odds of making at least one quad in the next 10 hands? The chance of getting 00 on a roulette wheel is 1/38Īnd that previous rolls, spins, deals have no influence on future rolls, spins, deals
The chance of getting quads is always 1/420 on every hand The chance of rolling a 7 with two dice is always 1/6 The chance of getting a royal flush is always 1/40,000 on each and every hand This question came up on my forum where someone (who I understand is banned from this site) says that while the odds of getting quads in video poker is 1/420 on one hand, the chance of getting quads for the next ten hands is reduced to 1/42.
My question is this: do the odds change with an increased number of hands played? I know that the odds of getting a royal flush are approximately 1/40,000. I know that the odds of getting quads in a hand of video poker are approximately 1/420.
