When rolling a dice, you have an 1:5 odd of getting a specific face up.
When taking a card randomly from a 52 cards deck, you have a 1:51 odd of getting a specific card
Exeption: When getting all-in in texas Hold'em with two overcards suited against a low pocket, you are in a 1:1 situation. And the outcome of this situation, is ALWAYS you loosing, independently of you having one or the other hand.
