(1)400 means that, on average, post 8 wins 4.00 times per game
when post 8
wins. 55 means that, on average, post 8 loses 0.55 times per game
when post 8 loses.
(2) For example, if the sample size for fours games where post
8 wins all four
times were as follows : 4-0 , 4-0, 4-1 4-1, this would indicate
that post 8 wins 4.0 times per game and loses 0.50
times per game, on average.
(3)I then input into a Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet into column A the number
4.0 and into column B the number 0.55
(4) I then tally all the times that team "X" has scored
over a number of
performances and all the times that team "X" has lost
over a number of performances
(5) The reason I do not use a single rating in the spreadsheet
is that a single rating does not indicate the
NUMBER OF TIMES THAT A POINT WAS PLAYED BY THAT TEAM
(6) I am sure that a single result for that post could be inputted
either manually or automatically into a database and then that
database would
would break down the result into two constituent parts for later
summation
(7) For example, "WP8", indicating
win by post 8 is inputted into the database and then the database
automatically breaks down the "WP8"
into its two constituent parts such as 4.00 and 0.55 for later
summation.
(8) This cannot be done by a spreadsheet alone as far as I know.
(9) It will probably have to be done by a combination database/
spreadsheet
(10) Does anyone know the best way to do this?
