How would the last player know whether to guess or not?

Because he's last. I'm assuming that it goes around the table and each player decides in turn to fold or guess. With 4 players, they should have a strategy where they are better than 15-1 favorites to beat the house, if the deck isn't stacked and the deck is smaller than infinity. Each player passes unless one or more of the remaining players has a red card, if none of them do, they "guess" red. If they all pass the last player "guesses" red.
