Just to clarify, this only works IF they will stack off. I think a better way to think of it is IF this exact hand was played out 8 times with random board cards, would I make up or exceed in hitting my set ONCE, the money I would lose the 7 times I don't? So, you need to make (3bb times 7) or (21bb). Not everyone will be willing to give you that and some will give you much more.
Yeah thats why sailing close to 7.5-1 is probably going to be -EV, the more implied odds you have the better. In the example we have 32-1, so we only need to stack them 1 in 32 times to make it break even if we are just goign to set or forget the hand.
