The following is lifted from Bob Bordier's BOXING REGISTRY RATINGS GUIDE.

~

You can compute odds for any two Rated fighters as follows.

1. Take Rates from "LATEST RATE" fields in the ALPHABETIC LIST.

2. Subtract the lower from the higher rating. Result is the RATING DIFF.

3. Look up the "DIFFERENCE IN RATES" in BETTING ODDS to find the winning percentage (HI-RATED WIN %) for the higher rated fighter.

4. Convert to standard odds as follows:

Percentage: 50. Odds: even

Percentage: 55. Odds: 6-5

Percentage: 58. Odds: 7-5

Percentage: 60. Odds: 3-2

Percentage: 66. Odds: 2-1

Percentage: 75. Odds: 3-1

Percentage: 80. Odds: 4-1

Percentage: 91. Odds: 10-1

5. Look out! Odds are not as reliable for fighters with less than 4 fights in the "RATED FITES" field of the ALPHABETIC LIST.
