PR and win ratio

Hi!

Stick mentioned something about playing well and not winning much. I too have the impression that the better I play the less I win. Is there a sweet spot where your PR gives you the most wins?

Has anybody tried to come up with any numbers on this? I put together a script on Backgammon Studio to display win ratio and came up with:

Matches	3832	Year	All years.
PR range	Wins	Losses	Win ratio
0 - 1	14	25	36 %
1 - 2	82	68	55 %
2 - 3	329	280	54 %
3 - 4	622	537	54 %
4 - 5	684	616	53 %
5 - 6	634	570	53 %
6 - 7	447	436	51 %
7 - 8	345	327	51 %
8 - 9	220	270	45 %
9 - 10	132	195	40 %
10 - 11	103	139	43 %
11 - 12	75	93	45 %
12 - 13	38	88	30 %
13 - 14	24	54	31 %
14 - 15	33	28	54 %
15 - 16	14	27	34 %
16 - 17	11	29	28 %
17 - 18	5	16	24 %
18 - 19	6	7	46 %
19 - 20	4	5	44 %
20 - 21	4	5	44 %
21 - 22	1	4	20 %
22 - 23	0	3	0 %
23 - 24	0	2	0 %
24 - 25	0	1	0 %
25 - 26	1	0	100 %
27 - 28	3	2	60 %

There is perhaps not enough data to make any big conclusions on this but stay away from playing below 1 if you want to win! :-) (Not a big problem for most of us though!)

In the player statistics section you can check the win ratio of individual players.
