The odds of FLOPPING either a straight or flush should be same, but that's not where the game ends, and that was poker111's original question.

Hi, Ive been playing poker for about 2 years now and have always wondered why flushs were ranked higher than straights

That is what I responded to. However, what do you mean about remaining 47/48 cards. Where do you account fo the other card?
Hold'em: At flop you know 5 of the cards.
5 card Draw: Aftrer first deal, you know 5 of the cards.
Both cases there are 47 unknown cards left after you see the first 5.
