what are odds that you get dealt a 1-color flop?

i thought that it would be 25/51 * 24/50 because 25 of the 51 cards after the first one are the same color as the first and then 24 of the remaining 50 are the same color as the 1st...

but that's 23%, which is 3.34-1 and the bet pays 8-1

so i did something wrong...

You have to guess the correct color too. So you can't just calculate the odds of the 2nd and 3rd card being the same as the first. Other than that, I'm not sure if the rest of your calculation is correct.
