Is the OP sure about the 800 below? Normal for DDB would be 400.

Well, just giving some rough estimates, straights are made about 1% of
the time. There are 10 possible straights, so ace high straights
would be made about 1 in 1000 hands. Of those, starting out with an
ace of any suit, to have the other 4 cards match its color would be
1/2 each, for a total of (1/2)^4, negligibly removing the royal
flushes. So, it sounds like that hand occurs once in about 16,000
hands. Getting 36 extra bets for it would add .225% to the overall
payback, making it something like 98.3%. Strategy and other
adjustments, such as drawing to royal flushes more than each
particular straight flush, might add .1%.

I think that .1% might be low, since by the reasoning I gave above for
the frequency of the Red or Black Royal Flush, a royal flush would be
hit only once in 256,000 hands. I'll guess the overall payback with
perfect play is 98.8%.
