Re: 3-Way Ties (fwd)



Sorry for my mistake in a recent posting regarding 3-way ties.

The equations for winning probabilities were given as
>> wa = 1/2 + 1/2 wb
>> wb = 1/2 wa
>> wc = 1/2 wb

but should be
wa = 1/2 + 1/2 wc			Win straight or wait one out
               ^^
wb = 1/2 wa				Win one, and then win another
wc = 1/2 wb				Wait, and then win two

The rest of the posting should be correct.
