    Converting % to a Money Line?
    In baseball if a team has a 59% chance of winning what is the formula for turning that into a money line? Thanks

    To lazy to write it up so I'm cutting and pasting.

    If the percentage is greater than 50%, then divide it by 100% minus itself, and multiply by -100.
    For example, 55% is conveted to -122
    = PERC / (100% – PERC) x (-100)
    = 55% / (100% – 55%) x (-100)
    = 55% / 45% x -100
    = 1.22 x -100
    = -122

    If the percentage is less than 50%, then take 100% minus itself divided by itself, then multiply by +100, then put a plus sign in front of it.
    For example, 45% is converted to +122
    = (100% – PERC) / PERC x 100
    = (100% – 45%) / 45% x 100
    = 55% / 45% x 100
    = 1.22 x 100= +122
