In Response To: Simple question (Maik Stiebler)

Thanks for the reply. I have studied about VR but it looks like XG is not precise to calculate the luck not even in a 1p match. I think I got this result because the luck was only +0.98 and I suppose the formula contains the deltaluck, for this I should be favorite. Anyhow it should not be always like this, I have checked some of my matches and in one I lost 7-2 with -3.0 luck but I was favourite, big MWC cost difference.

The surprise for me is that non even in 1p match the luck and so the VR works well enough. I looked to my 4 jokers and 2 XG's, the net differece is more than 1.00 but in the end the total is less. My point is: it would not be better to go back with the formula and use the lost MWC (I know it has flaws as well) to say who is the favorite ? I don't expect to be precise in saying by how much, but at least it doesn't say a human is favourite against the computer ! We base our game on bot analysis to prove is a skill game, this is a big contradiction in my opinion.
