Quads Question

[perch1]

Hi - new to the forum
quick silly question - just hit 4 quads twice in 38 hands - marvellous...however I beleive the odds of obtaining four of a kind is in the region of 1 / 423
because we have two quads in succession do the overall odds change ? is it still 1 / 423 or is it now 700 + hands ?
maths and probability wasn't my forte .......
 
thanks

What game and what pay table were u playing?

In video poker, what's happened in the past does not affect the future.  It doesn't matter that you've just hit one or two quads;  the probability of getting one in the next hand remains at 1/423.

thank you onemoretry - wish I could apply those principles to my whole life !!

Just means someone else hit all the dud hands before you came along and hit the quads!
