hi lads, i price up 4  divisions of local football every weekend and i was wondering was there somewhere i could find  quick access to a percentage calculator ,,
i know to a tee what price i want to install the favs ,so if say i wanted to bet all matches to 120% , that the draw and away would slot into an automatic price, to save me time looking it up every week...

I don't think it is possible to do this accurately using only this information.

Two teams in two separate matches could both be evens to win. However, if one match has a goal expectancy of 1.5, and the other a goal expectancy of 3, the odds for the opossing team (and the draw will differ) across matches.

^
I just randomly picked odds and goal expectancy, but the idea should be clear.

120% bookies should not be helped or encouraged (unless it's a charity)
Cool

What division, out of interest?
Report dunter1 • October 23, 2010 4:33 PM BST
Rule of thumb:
Fav 4/6 =60%
60% of remaining 40% = 24 =the draw
16% remaining = the away

60=24=16=100

Cool
