Default Basic implied odds checkup

Just need to make sure that the following implied odds calculation is correct if somebody would care to help.

150 in the pot on the flop. I have a flush draw villain has a set. 500 remain in our stacks. Villain bets 100. My implied odds of calling this bet assuming I can get it in 100% of the time on any turn are:

(if I hit my 8 outer on the turn I will win 77% of the time)

.77(150 + 500) - .23(500) = 385.5
making my implied odds 385.5 to 100 or 3.85 to 1.

Odds of hitting the 8 outer are 4.87 to 1

So this would be a losing call.

Is the above correct? Thanks in advance to anybody who is willing to do this one.
