Betting

Last night we were with some friends. During normal discussions we talked about one of my friend's birthday who is same as her husband at 1st day of 1st month of the year. Then we talked about the probability of happening such coincident.
Mehrdad said it's (1/365)*(1/364) ,but the others weren't agree. At last they bet on the result, If the answer is anything rather than what Mehrdad said they'll won otherwise Mehrdad is the winner.
Do you have any suggestion about it? What do you think?

All these bettings are great because My friend and I will eat dinner in a good restaurant !!!


P.S. Mehrdad mentioned later that his suggestion was (1/365)*(1/365). So please think about this probability.

hi
correction:
what i exactly said as the correct answer is 1/365*1/365 not as what you've wrote 1/365*1/364:)
