I think I'm already a little confused between posts here. can you help me how to calculate this based on isight for match?

btw ima big fan of this place. and now im at my challenge (the fastest way to gain 3pr in the world). just want to say thanks for yall who's write here. this is marvelous place and... especially say hello to MK:)

i am familiar with
p = 80 −l3+ 2∆l but i think so at this point ima confused.
thanks for your answers.

As I understand, in this position 80 should be replaced by some other number? I hope someone will explain how to count in a match using this method.

i read this book. and i hope so i do all the things right (im a right or im a right?))

80 - 17/3 + 2*1 = 72%
i do this right?

I don't think you will get an explicit answer
that may lead to a discussion because you
are a new-comer, not a member of the pack
yet. :( Besides, they may suspect you already
know the answer and you are baiting them. ;)

Ignore MK and wait for Isight creator Axel, who is a regular poster
here. Isight count is 17/16 (from 11/16). Figuring out the recube
is beyond my meagre knowledge.

No.

80 - L/3 + 2 Delta L

always gives you an estimate for your game winning chances, be it money
session or match.

How to double in money sessions with this GWC is explained in my
article.

In matches you calculate the doubling point and the cash point using
METs, Neil's numbers, the Turner formula or what else. These points
depend on score. The longer the race is, the closer you should double to
the cash point. The shorter the race is, the closer you should double to
the doubling point.

And what is the claimed accuracy of your "Icing"
on the "cow cake"...?? (approximate, of course ;)

Ah so, you are here to farm potential
whores for your personal bordello... :(

BTW, while responding to him, it would
have been polite of you to comply with
his wish to "especially say hello to MK:)"
