Close Sony, but if the player has 2 queens, that leaves only 126 tens and 414 cards for a dealer blackjack.
dealer bj =(126/414)*(32/413)*2= 0.047162859
Yes, I get exacly 4 times those numbers because I used A,9 as a differant hand than 9,A for both the dealer and player hands. Here is what I get for all the payouts. I already divided them by 4.

Thanks Mip. I knew you were using permutations and that we agreed on the first two numbers.
I'm surprised I got that far actually!
Maybe I'll try the rest, somewhat easier for me now (maybe!) that I know what the right answer is lol.
Such is my faith
I like your spreadsheet method - I hate all this "combin" stuff lol.
Tlop - pay the man!

oops
I made some errors. I was overlapping Matched 20 and Suited 20, and who knows what else. I am now getting a player EV of -0.08193495 (House advantage 8.19%)

But I think I'm still double-counting some stuff (I'm having trouble pulling your sheet up tonite for some reason).
So, basically, as usual, I believe your numbers alot more than mine lol.
All I can remember now is I agreed with every number but one lol. And I'm surprised i got that far lol.
If I get back to it, I'll let u know.

There are 96 cards (10,j,k) posible for the first card. If it was a jack of clubs, that would leave all the 10,j,q,k that are not clubs for the second card. That also happend to be 96. 96*96 = 9216
The first card could also be a queen (32 cards). If it was a queen of diamonds, that would leave all the 10,j,k that are not diamonds for the second card. That number is 72. 32*72 = 2304.
9216+2304 = 11520. There are 172640 posible 2 card hands(416*415). 11520/172640 = 0.066728452. That matches what's in my spreadsheet.
I get a house edge of 8.193495% . I hope it is accurate, but it wouldn't be the first time I messed up. I'll pm you my paypal address as soon as I figure out what it is. Haven't used it in years.
