I'm creating this thread for oberon who is new and unable to make threads. He has created a GreaseMonkey (FireFox plugin) script that adds odds information to TL posts. It's not perfect (doesn't find every matchup), but it's not bad (gives odds both including and excluding players' races, only shows up on mouse-over of a matchup). Here are a couple screenshots (including Stork/Effort from the last proleague thread):

Discuss/show your love/appreciation here. oberon will also be happy to answer any questions.

I've been doing something similar for proleague matches, but using Excel. Check the recent liquibet threads.

Is it weighted considering ELO? Also, is it weighted based on historic data (recent games have more weight than older ones)? If so, how is it weighted? (moving average, exponential smoothing, etc.)

EDIT: doh! you just scroll over it..... what a doofus i am!

I really like this, and i'm going to use it, but i wonder if you could add a "map" function that found the win percentages on the map.

Actually, this would somewhat address the problem of weighting by time.

I've thought about including map information for race win %...but I'm not sure how yet. The log5 formula doesn't really allow for it. I'll take a look at how people combine HFA with log5 for other sports and see if that provides any interesting information.

All odds are calculated based on lifetime record. ELO is not considered. Opponent strength is not considered. How recent games are is not considered. Player record on individual maps is not considered. None of these are bad ideas -- it's just that I'm getting all the data by parsing TLPD HTML, which is a pain. ELO should be relatively easy to pick out. If I have the time/energy to parse the full game log, instead of just the front page win %s, I could do recentness. Opponent strength is trickier. Player record on individual maps is (probably) worthless -- the sample size is tiny. Going 4-1 on a map is a lot less informative than going 70-30 vs. Zergs over a career.

The next version will have a menu option that allows you to choose between BO1/3/5/7. I'll replace the "Win Chance" text with what the current mode is (e.g. "Best of 3"). The method for calculating the odds is already in the plugin -- just need to hook it up to the UI.

Other feature requests welcome.

Imho you should consider the overall racial stats on a map and not just the player stats on a map (like you mentioned: 4-1 on a map).

Totally agree. As I mentioned, I wanna see how other people combine home field advantage info with log5 predictions, since HFA is a known percentage advantage (just like map racial advantage). That's what I was getting at in my first paragraph -- sorry if it was unclear.

Unfortunately, I had my wisdom teeth out a few hours ago. It's really hard to code (or focus on anything, really) when leaning forward causes blood to dribble out of one side of your mouth. I'm hoping to shake that off and get the next version of this up this weekend.

Installing it now
Though I'm curious as to what formula it uses. Is it the one that was posted a while ago using the player's last 10 and historical stats?

And what's the difference between generic and racial?

I've updated the plugin to include map stats (per my discussion with MasterReY, above). I've further updated the plugin's page to hopefully be more informative about both what is being displayed, and how it is being calculated.

If anyone knows (and is willing to share) which ELO formula is used in TLPD, I'd greatly appreciate it. My guess is that it's 1/(1+10^((Rating - OppRating)/400)), but I can't find confirmation anywhere. Knowing that would let me include ELO-based percentages in the table.

Updated to fix the map bias calculation, which is now (correctly) non-linear. I've started looking into ELO, but getting it out of TLPD is a huge pain, so it may take some time.

Programming this with blood dripping from your mouth? Damn, you are hardcore. Useful, but in a slightly crazy way.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

Actually, things just healed a lot faster than expected...but I like your version better.
