Default probability of a bad beat hand

Ok here's one I've worked on for about... 5 minutes, and figured this might go faster in parallel with the rest of you.

A poker site's hold'em bad beat jackpot has the following requirements:
1) both the winning hand and losing hand must use both hole cards.
2) quads or better must be beaten.

at a ten-handed table where everyone plays to the river, how often does this come up?
while we're at it, how about a 5-handed table, or a heads-up one?
