If you feel you have possible count to bid - but are not strong, you 'bid or bunch' giving your partner an opportunity to bid, and thus see how strong you really are. If one of your opponents bids, then a person who 'bid or bunch' can then bid. It is an opportunity for all four players to get a re-deal
No. By making a bid-or-bunch opening, you are declaring that you can and may bid if somebody else opens, but if all others bid-or-bunch or pass, that you are agreeing to "bunch" the deck, meaning everybody tosses in their hands and the cards are shuffled and re-dealt.

Thriller - 1960 A Third for Pinochle 2-9 was released on: USA: 20 November 1961
A pinochle deck consists of 48 cards. Eight of these cards are aces (2 aces per suit * 4 suits = 8 aces). So, for a random drawing from a complete pinochle deck, the probability of drawing an ace is 8/48 = 1/6.

resembles whist
Pinochle is NOT played with dice. It is played with a special deck of playing cards consisting of two regular decks - ace high and 9 low (48 cards in total).
