Default Flop is all red

To pass the time a funny guy in the game started running a "casino" where you give him $1 before the cards were dealt and declare a color. If the flop was all that color he gave you $8 back. Just curious who had the +EV here..

thx... BB

Is the funny guy's first name "Party" and his last name "Poker"?

He does. (26/52) * (25/51) * (24/50) = 11.77%

Really, that depends on who's playing, and what the game is.
