Sorry, i am having a hard time with the Yahoo format. Some context: I wrote that I got a royal on the redraw after discarding all five cards. Some folks were speculating on the odds of this happening, from the point of view that the cards discarded were all low cards. I just wanted to state that I had been playing FPDW, so some of the cards could have been high ones. The only thing we know for sure about the composition of the remainder in the deck is that there were 5 suited royal cards. Also, I would not have discarded deuces.
When I got a dealt sequential royal a few weeks ago, I asked about the chances of this happening. There are people in this group that are capable of the math (not me!). Dunbar also came up with the chances of this at close to 1 in 77 million.
i agree that this would make a great promo for a casino. They could purchase insurance to protect them in the event someone hit.
