I roll it twice and if both numbers are even/odd it's a match. If I get the same number twice I re-roll. My "Hypothesis" is 1/3 given you can't pick the same sock twice.

4 2 match

At a sample size of 52 pulls that's a telling 52% (those are coincidentally matching numbers I just so happened to stop there). Feel free to keep going. This probably has a blind spot where people don't understand the first sock is in a quantum position.
