Default Re: Did I win this bet?

How much was the bet?

$100

I'm still waiting to see if more people agree with mortalwombat, because as of now there isn't a concensus between posters. I'll admit that my background in mathematics is lacking, and I tried to figure out the problem on the fly (which is why the form was less than stellar)

Yours actually gave a result of 34.96%, where the correct math gives 35.0% - a trivial difference in this case, but I suspect larger numbers will give a more pronounced discrepancy.

To test this I worked out the math for a 15 out straight flush draw.

Using my method I get 54.1% or .85: 1
Using yours I get the same answer.
