A Python program that calculates the probability of flipping a card between two others.
Acey Deucey, also known as Yablon, In-Between, Sheets, Between the Sheets or Maverick, is a simple betting card game. Two cards are dealt to a player, who then bets on whether the rank of a third card will fall between those of the first two. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acey_Deucey_(card_game) for the rules of play.
The program can be used strait from the command line or can be moved to a TI-nspire™ CX II calculator with python installed for a more portable version.
As the dealer flips the first two cards, enter the cards respective characters (see below). If the first two cards can not have any values between them (e.i. King/King, 4/5) then the program will move on to the next round. If there is, however, a possibility of flipping a card between the first two cards the program will output the probability in a percentage of that happening. Once the final card is revealed enter the value of that card as well so the program can "Count Cards". You should also enter the cards dealt to other players if there are any.
