Simple BJ Question - 6 decks - Perfect Pairs
First time poster, long time fan.
Simple question for all the Math guru's out there.
What are the odds of being dealt a specific Perfect Pair in Black Jack, 6 decks?
For example, what are the odds of being dealt 2x Ace of spades, or 2x King of Diamonds?
I am aware of the Perfect Pairs Side bet and the relevant odds, (Pays 25-1 I believe).
However, what are the odds on specific perfect pairs?
I appreciate the help.
So you have a 6/312 chance of getting your card for the first card. If you do, now there are 311 cards left and 5 of the ones that you want.
So the answer is 6/312 * 5/311 = 30/97032 = about 0.03%

REINSTATED as 1 in 3234 chance.
This is exactly what I need.
Quote: SonuvabishApproximately 0.03%. 1 in 3234 chance. Obviously, if it paid 1000 to 1, it is still a terrible bet. 25-1, don't play.
Not quite right if OP is asking about *any* perfect pair. For a specific pre-defined pair (ie, Ace of Spades), then yes, it's 6/312 * 5/312. Otherwise, the probability of getting *any* pair is
312/312 * 5/311 = 0.0161 = 1.6% or about 1 in 62.

Oh you're right. I calculated it like the royal match, results felt off. Thanks for pointing it out. Hope OP reads it. I PMed him, all I can do!
Appreciate the feedback.
I was referring to specific Perfect Pairs, such as Ace of Spades and Ace of Spades as the first two cards for a player.
Appreciate the follow up however, and thanks to Son for the PM.
