You now bet during sit n goes on the flop color being all of the same color. It pays 8:1 if you hit. Im lazy what are the odds of actually hitting this ?

Party poker is like the newest hustler on the block these days.

No. It pays 8 for 1, which is actually 7 to 1. And you can't bet after you see your hole card (well you can but the bet isn't settled until the following hand. It's a sucker bet. Another fish bankroll drainer.

yeah, this is right.. I just tested this out with a $1 bet and when i hit, i got $8 back (7:1).

You guys who are using probabilities have this wrong. The odds are actually 7.5:1.. I was crapping my pants at first, thinking this was an oversight on party's part, until I realized it's 8 FOR 1. BUMMMMER.


odds:

(52 c 3) - (26 c 3) : (26 c 3)

52 x 51 x 50/3 x 2 x 1 = 22100 total flops

26 x 25 x 24/3 x 2 x 1 = 2600 one color (red or black) flops

odds: (22100-2600):2600 or 7.5:1
