How to Convert Moneylines
Here's a neat little rig that helps you
with your handicapping by helping you, at
a glance, figure out whether or not you've
got an edge. See the instructions below.
NOTE: This gizmo does not take into effect
the 10 cent juice, but instead handles it
as if this were a perfect world. Also, it
can only handle actual percentages, so don't
try to stick ".645" in there. Instead, type in "64.5".
Have fun!
