Default Re: Is this a good prop bet ?

He loses if the flop contains no j,7, or 2. This will happen:

40/52 * 39/51 * 38/50= 44.7%

So he wins the other 55.3% of the time.

You win 40^3/(52*51*50) = 48.3% of the time.

He wins 51.7% of the time.

That gives him about a 3.4% edge. For every $100 you bet you can expect to lose $3.40.
