Okay...
After studying Yaks calculation and going to past Pickmonitor accounts, (Where, of course, I can't find a single bet on a favorite, so again, of course, I never won a bet that started with a negative number and now I'm lost in total confusion!
)
So using the Beast method of calculation, I won 11 bets and lost nine, so I must be winning, at least that seems logical to me.
Here's my thinking - A bet where I win a -105 means that I get 5, plus I don't need to subtract 100, leaving me with 105, but that means when I win a +105, I get 105 and I don't subtract the 100 (or -1 with the recalculation) meaning I would be up 205 on just that bet. I'm thinking I'm somewhere up around 200 units, but I could be a little off.
If someone could tell me the answers to these things I will get out my old paper tape calculator and get a little closer. (I'm looking at you jmakin!)
If you win a -500 bet =
If you win a -800 bet =
If you win a -120 bet = (I guessed 80 on this, but that does not agree with Yak's calculating.)
If you win a bet -115 = (This one is like higher math!)
If you win a -210 bet =
And -130 =
And -105 =
There must be some sort of mathy thing to figure this out, but well...
Edit - I'm looking at Offtopic's numbers for -115 and -130, no wonder I'm confused! We didn't even have numbers that looked like that when I was in school!
