what are the odds of catching a flush on the river?
There is some1 really good at math on this forum... I wonder where he is.

On the second card, 47 out of 49 cards are bad for you
On the third card 46 out of 48 are bad for you.
The formula you then get is: 1 - (48/50)*(47/49)*(46/48) = 11.75 %, which translated into odds is about 7.5 to 1.
'joefine' is really good, as well.
