[b]the problem with the odds...[/b]

As usual, the math of pott odds vs. hand odds takes you only so far - we're not playing against predicatble machines here!
You've got the image you want for a good C-bet, you've got a flop that makes it unlikely anyone has hit what they would consider a monster hand, and you've got the best drawing odds.
 
To worry about being behind by 4% or 5% to a pair is not really the point - especially when all the calculations assume you're going against one hand (when this is a 3-way game at this stage).  Run this one out 10,000 against a variety of player styles with possible hands, and I'd bet you come out ahead.
 
Your bet is perfectly good, and will draw in exactly the callers you want (pocket pairs and single 8's) because they can see it as a C-bet.  Its a very rare player who's going to raise you on this flop, so if nothing else, you're controlling the betting, and quite possibly getting a free river card if you need it.
 
Well played - I don't think I have the guts to play this hand this way, but I still think it was effective and you bet correctly.
