I'm not much of a gambler, so I'm just playing around with generating odds on a tournament based on ratings. Playing around with a few algorithms.

So far this is the one I think is the closest:

Are these somewhere close to what you would expect?
Thanks!

Don't go into business as a bookie. You'd be skint within days.
At those odds I could probably back every player in the tournament and make a profit whoever won it.

I'm watching the Elliot Sanderson/Deuel match now because I missed it live. Do all the non-table1 tables have a physical shot clock and a referee calling 10/5 secs to the shooting players?

I think only table 2 has the ref with a shot clock (plus the arena table). Maybe 3 and 4 have clocks, but I'll have to check. The rest of the tables only have one ref per 4 tables.

It's frustrating to no longer be the dominant player you once were.

These tournaments see balls and tables- new ones- cleaned after each match. The cumulative effect of chalk buildup isn't there.

Obviously, You missed the country mentioned in the article is the USA!

The 'World Org. (UMB)' held on the avg. Only (5) tournaments per year for 40 years!

For 'Millions' of 3C players around the world!

Fundraising is a function of nationality?

40 years of tournaments indicates a stable source of funding exists.

The simplest way to do this is run simulations of the tournament using your rating system, or Fargo, or whatever other process you like. Then you can round the outcomes to a set of reasonable values.

playing the optimal way is the safer way to give yourself the best chances.

the betting odds are not the real odds. but as the odds change with the bets it naturally creeps towards the real odds as the smart gamblers attack any mistakes with huge bets.

That would have been HILARIOUS hope he does next time he beats Earl

He might just!

Just his answers to the questions and his demeanor... not sure many could have pulled that off. I'm sure he will poke fun somehow when he gets a chance. Such a good sport/sportsman
