You play all four hands. Every card you could choose is priced, and the defenders' cards are yours as well — so "what if the king is offside" is a question you can put to the table rather than a hope.

Working out what every card is worth…

Declarer

Odds are conditional on the cards shown: the share of the layouts still possible on which the line guarantees the target against best defence. A defender's card rules out every layout on which another of their cards would have held you to fewer tricks, and every layout on which another card, worth exactly the same to them, would have beaten this line — an indifferent defender is credited with the card that beats you, which is restricted choice. An entry is counted each time the lead has to change hands, in either direction. Nothing here is recorded — for a combination that counts, take a rated one.
