yesterday i was dealt a natural 4 of a kind in 3 consecutive hands.....that has to be some astronomical odds

It’s pretty high. I never had that. I have had two and have had one immediarely followed by a straight flush. Forget the formula

Odds of any dealt quad is 1 in 4165 hands.

Odds of dealt a natural 4 of a kind in 3 consecutive hands is 1 in 72B.

You are pretty much making things up. Are you sure they are all "dealt" but not the quads you actually hit by holding cards? (Remember, the odds of hitting billion $ powerball is 1 in 292M. What you claimed is as hard as hitting 250 powerball jackpots.)

to get a rough number , 4165 x 4165 x 4165 =72,251,192,125 to 1 . possible but a bit unlikely .

at borgata I was Dealt a sequential royal . happened only one time in over 40 years of play. unlikely but not as astronomical as yours ! I was playing quarters and got 1000 dollars for my hit !

I've had 2 in a row. 3 is a stretch.

A lot of people get two in a row. I never have, but I have not played enough. After you get two in a row, the odds of you getting another quad on the next hand is only 4165 to 1. In other words, for every 4165 people who get two in a row, one of them should continue on to get three in a row. Improbroble, but not impossible.

Odds of dealt seq royal is 1 in 38,984,400. Pretty crazy too.
