Probability of being dealt Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] = 1/C(104,2) = 1/5356 = .000186706

Probability of dealer blackjack = 8*30/C(102,2) = 8*30/5151 = 0.0465929

P(Both) = 0.000186706 * 0.0465929 = 0.000008699197

Odds against = (1 - 0.000008699197):0.000008699197 = 114,952:1
