Odds for drawing any match, Aisthesis, 2. Nov 2003 10:29

I know this is a fairly standard odds question, but since it can be so critical in practice and since my calculation comes out so close, I'm putting it out there just to make sure:
Given a pocket XY (any two distinct cards), what are the odds of drawing X or Y by the river? I come up with just shy of 49%:
There are 6 outs for each card on the board, so the odds of MISSING all should be: (44)(43)(42)(41)(40)/(50)(49)(48)(47)46) or a little over 51%. Right?
I've had to call or fold some pre-flop all-ins based on the odds here (and no doubt will have to make such decisions again), so I'd REALLY like to know that I'm right on this... :)

Those are the correct odds for drawing at least one X or Y.
