In Response To: Cube error rates (Gregg Cattanach)

Maybe it is a language problem. To me, that you were a 60-40 favourite means that given the info available, if we played a match of the same length again, you would have a 60% chance to win it. At those odds I would rather bet on me. This way of putting it makes the claim clearly wrong (nobody would bet on someone winning 110% of the games).

If I play 10% better than you am I a 60-40 favorite? Or am I a 10% favorite? Or am I a 55%-45% favorite? You decide.

Probably there is not enough info, as I told in my simultaneous post. Depending of the match length and the average volatility, you could be almost anything between a 50% and a 60% favourite (I think). The Snowie info tells who was the favourite, but not by how much.
