Default odds of a hand winning?

does anyone know how to calculate the odds of XX beating XX with all 5 community cards being delt out? what should be added to the equation when more players are involved?

The link below allows you to choose starting hands, flop cards, and turn card for up to five players. It is pretty good after you learn how to use it. Click on the cards to make them appear in the hands and click to calculate odds at various stages (preflop, flop, and turn)

Yeah I really liked what they had done at cardplayer.com and was building something similar for our forums. Having trouble finding out the equation to produce the odds though.

I think the idea is to find the number of different possible 5 card hands now that you have removed 4 cards. In stat we called this "n choose r" where
C(n,r) = n! / ( r! * (n-r)! )
n = 52-4
r = 5
48 choose 5 = 48! / (5! * 43!) = (48*47*46*45*44) / (5*4*3*2) = 1712304

Out of those hands, you must sort the ones that win for each particular hand which gives you the percentage for each hand when you divide # of wins / total possible hands.
There may be an easier way to do it, but this would produce an answer, of course you need a computer to sort through the winning hands as humans would necessarily make an error and miss which pots split etc.
For more than 2 players you have to remember to subtract the appropriate amount for n to be correct. Sounds like quite a programming project, good luck.
