What are the odds of...

getting 4 aces of the same colour in a single hand of black jack? (8 deck shoe)

getting 5 aces of any colour in a single hand of black jack? (8 deck shoe)

I know this is wrong but I started off by doing this:

32/416 x 15/415 x 14/414 x 13/413

and 32/416 x 31/415 x 30/414 x 29/413 x 28/412

but this doesn't take into account other cards that you can get incidentally within the hand

Re: What are the odds of...

8*52=416 8 Aces of the same color

1. 4* 8/416*7/415*6/414*5/413

2. Your Calc should be correct
