In Response To: TOTAL COST (in XG) (Mislav Kovacic)

I agree, player A should be 57.5% favorite.
To verify check the extreme case that player A gives away 0% and B gives away 100% by resigning in a situation where he would have effectively won.
Applying your formulae gives that Player A was 50% + (100% - 0%)/2 = 100% favorite, which is the correct answer.
