What are the chances that the Player and Dealer have an Ace-High Pai Gow hand. I'm guessing about 1 in 125 (0.008)
Some people need to reimagine their thinking.

In my experience, it happens much more often than that, especially with the Joker in the game, though "Player" in my guess is a huge variable, as I'm thinking about how often I see it, whether it's my particular hand or not. I'm guessing 1 in 30 or so. But don't have the math skills to tell you exactly.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

I do know from the appendicies at WoO for the side-bets that the Player chance of an Ace-High Pai Gow hand is
14430780/154143080 or about 0.09362

The Dealer Probability would be based on 46 cards.

The chance of any Player Pai Gow (9-hi to A-hi) is about 1 in 6.22
