HOW THE RATINGS WORK
I hold a database of all players, against each player is a series of entries, name, score, wins, losses then there are two further columns, stake and remainder.... The stake is 10% of the Current Score, the remainder is the current score less the stake of 10% (or 90%) all stakes are added together for all rated players in the game then a percentage of this is added to the scores according to the position they finish in - for instance with 5 rated players the first player gets 41% of the total, second, 27%, third, 17% 4th, 10% and 5th 5%...
SO in a 5 player result, if all stakes are added together, and the total comes to 10.000 and all players had 20.000 points the results would be as follows..
Player one starts on 20.00 and stakes 2 points (10%) he is left with 18 points.... but wins 41% of the pot (of 10.00 points) so he ends up with 18.00 plus 4.1 or 22.1 points
Player 2 ends up with 18 plus 2.7 or 20.7
Player 3 ends up with 18 plus 1.7 or 19.7
Player 4 ends up with 18 plus 1.0 or 19.0
Player 5 ends up with 18 plus 0.5 or 18.5
As you can see the lower your score goes the less you stake... and the higher your score goes the more you stake.
