  1. All according to plan. The next step will be a proposal that railroads U.S. players into playing at U.S.-owned (and based) sites exclusively. This is and always was a protectionist move on the part of Big U.S. Gambling.

    Eric,
    The number is right, and there is easier way to calculate:
    Since the 5th card is random, it is same as calculate the odd of select 4 aces from 52 cards, which is:
    4*3*2*1/(52*51*50*49)

    I don't believe that is correct, James. You have calculated the odds of selecting four aces with the first four cards. The correct calculation is for the odds of having four aces in the first five cards, which is not the same. That's what I calculated.
