The Odds of Bidding New Minor Forcing

 The deal number 7851 seen above is the number of deals BidBase had to randomly generate and test to find 100 deals which matched one of the following opening auctions of New Minor Forcing:

      1 - P - 1 - P - 1N - P - 2 - P 
      1 - P - 1 - P - 1N - P - 2 - P 
      1 - P - 1 - P - 1N - P - 2 - P 
      1 - P - 1 - P - 1N - P - 2 - P

(There are some other, far less common cases where NMF can be used, but they were ignored for this quiz. See the New Minor Forcing document for details.)

But BB doesn't just check each deal once. If it doesn't match with South as dealer, then it tries again with West, then North, and East.

This makes the odds of any one of the four players at the table making a NMF bid 100 : 7851, or 1 : 78.5 deals.

The odds that just your pair would make a NMF bid would be 0.5 in 78.5 deals, or 1 in 157..

For just you, the odds double again to just 1 in 314 deals on average. For a 26- or 27-board tournament, you would have a chance to bid NMF once every 12 tournaments.

That's a long time to have to remember the NMF responses, so be sure to do some practice quizzes regularly.
