this is definatly not a new wave question, but Ive searched everywhere for this answer. What are the odds of making just the 8 ball on a break in a game of 8-ball?

I don't know what the odds are, but I've done it once.

This would be mathematically impossible to determine. Much like a hole-in-one in golf, the likelihood of it occurring is mainly due to the skill level of the player.
