Short of tracking it everyday, is there a simple formula for calculating how games a team is behind first place?
Thanks…
If you can find such a formula, that does not require you to know the teams’ wins/losses, you can get rich by gambling.
Lets say Team 1 is in first place and has W1 wins and L1 losses.
Team 2 is not in first place and has W2 wins and L2 losses.
Team 2 is ((W1 - W2)/2) + ((L2 - L1)/2) games back.
I always just took the average of the difference between the numbers. Which is a short was of saying, “See Lance’s equation.”
