hit rate for quads with trips dealt

#1

No! it is one in 23-1/2 times (2 in 47). The problem is terminology. 23-1/2
"for" one is the same as 22-1/2 "to" one. If you play craps (I do not!) you
will find some craps layouts using "for" odds on their side bets and some
using "to" odds. For example: The hard six and hard eight bets may be shown
at 9 for 1 or 8 to 1. Either way it means the same 9.09%+ house edge. "In"
when showing odds is the same as "for" on craps layouts.

The math is off there - the odds of hitting quads with 3 of a kind dealt

is more like 1 in 22 1/2 times.

1081/46=23.5
1081 possible two card draws (47x46/2=1081) (divide by 2 because AK is
the same as KA, order not important)
46 possible types of quads (the quad card and one of 46 kickers)
