    Question It says odds of busting with 14 is 56% but 6/13 = 46%, why?

    Why does every photo I search for says the probability of player to bust drawing another card while having 14 is 56% if the only cards you can bust with are 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K (6 cards)? 6/13 ~ 46%.


    There's a total of 13 cards in the deck (A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K) and you won't be busted with A 2 3 4 5 6 7 (7 cards), so 7/13 ~ 53%.


    Here's one photo showing the odds of 46% (you can find a lot of them if u search 'player busting odds blackjack' on google):



    And here's another one, showing the odds of 56% with the same hand:
