When playing a game of blackjack, what are the odds that you will be dealt BlackJack on the first deal? Assume you are playing with one opponent and your opponent is the dealer.
Note: 10, jack, queen and king all are worth 10. Aces are worth 11.
You have blackjack when the values of both your cards add up to 21. There is only one deck of cards being dealt out.

Cory: thanks for confirming my assumption that the number of players is irrelevant.
Charlie: the question asks "what are the odds that you will be dealt blackjack on the first deal?". It doesn't state that this must also be a winning hand. In which case I believe my answer is correct. Your's is also correct, but for a slightly different question!
