The question behind the result

Use this page when the task is to convert a user-entered rating difference into a fair win probability and price. For the selected event, no live price, participant feed, or result is loaded automatically.

Both participants must use one rating scale and the same event conditions.

Selected side rating records power rating for the selected side. For estimated win probability, Opponent rating represents power rating on the same scale.

In this model, check the timestamp and unit for Venue or surface adjustment because it supplies positive values favor the selected side. Rating points per logistic step records controls how strongly rating differences affect probability.

For this comparison, inputs collected on different dates may describe states that never existed together.

What can move the baseline

Fair price expresses model probability. It does not independently validate the rating.

As a practical check, starting goalie, rest, travel, special teams, expected shot volume, and score effects should describe one game state.

For the saved case, a goalie confirmation or scratch can change both the central projection and its uncertainty.

Testing result sensitivity

At this stage, create a neutral case before applying the full change to Rating points per logistic step.

Under the entered assumptions, shrink a small-sample rating gap toward the broader baseline.

For this market, a large fair-price swing signals sensitivity to scale or confidence.

Within this calculation, the calculation uses win probability = logistic((selected rating − opponent rating + adjustment) ÷ scale).

Both participants must be measured on one consistent rating system.

Fair-price conversion does not validate the ratings.

On this page, a new market definition requires a new input set.

Worked example with different inputs

In this model, the example is a formula check rather than a recommended wager.

For the Hockey Moneyline Model Calculator, a second set of inputs demonstrates how the formula behaves. Current event information belongs in the form above.

Selected side rating is 4.32 rating points. Opponent rating is 1.88 rating points. Venue or surface adjustment is 0.784 rating points. Rating points per logistic step is 5.46 points.

Applying the Hockey Moneyline Model rule: win probability = logistic((selected rating − opponent rating + adjustment) ÷ scale). Using the changed inputs, the result is 64.35%.

For this estimated win probability example, the example should be reproducible from what is printed. Hidden corrections or unstated inputs should never be needed.

For the selected event, preserve unrounded values until final display.

Reasons to calculate again

The rating scale must be calibrated to the sport and competition.

As a practical check, determine whether grading stops after regulation or includes overtime and a shootout, and review empty-net treatment.

For this comparison, the formula cannot confirm that a matching market remains open for the intended stake.

Reading the headline and supporting rows

The probability is conditional on ratings and adjustments.

Compare fair price with an executable quote for the same outcome.

On this page, a market move changes the comparison while model inputs may stay fixed.

Documenting a market snapshot

Within this calculation, preserve the first answer when Rating points per logistic step changes.

Store estimated win probability with event, selection, compared line, time, and source for Selected side rating.

In the current scenario, retaining both cases makes the size and direction of revision visible.
