    Math Question
    If team A wins 80% of they're games and team B wins 25% of they're games how often will team A beat team B?

    I used the log 5 formula I think its called log 5 anyway (c-(c*d))/c+d-((2*c)*d))

    I thought this was the formula to use for a problem like this but I get 60% and well that just dont seem right.

    Ive just used a log5 calculator and got Team A to win 92.3% of the time, Team B wins 7.7%.

      That looks more reasonable thanks man. My equation or calculator must be wrong then.

          Ya thats the site I found after aswell the equation he uses and the one I used first are basicly the same apart from the use of some brackets but the brackets make the difference between equaling 92 or 60 thanks for the help man
