Chouette with a twist/and a math question

We had a 7-player chouette at my apartment this afternoon (Dec. 24th) and to add some fun for the holidays, we added a twist:

if you dance on a 1-point board you get a point from everyone. In 5.5 hours of play it happened 4 times. It was a lot of fun. (If you are in the box with a partner, you still get a point from everyone, including your partner.) We actually had 8 players today but only 7 at a time were there.

One nice thing is that no one did it twice.

Now here is something we could not figure out, and I doubt that anyone can with any certainty, but it would be interesting to hear what people think. In 100 games, how many times do you think this would happen, assuming of course, people play at a reasonable speed?

Here is one of the more interesting plays that caused some controversy:





White is Player 2

score: 0
pip: 135
Unlimited Game
Jacoby Beaver
pip: 113
score: 0

Blue is Player 1
