Default Re: simple EV calculation, but I don\'t know how to set it up?

Fastest way is to calculate odds of not getting any K at all, i.e., do it "backwards." That's
52 cards, 4 are Kings, 48 aren't, so it's
48/52*47/51*46/50*45/49*44/48 or .66 or you will not get one 66% of the time. That means you will get one 34% of the time. In other words, it's awfully close to lose twice, then win once.

I think I'm right, but if not I'll find out soon enough and learn something along with you.

You want to take it from there, based on what you said?
