[QUOTE="ZeFrenchy, post: 534867, member: 47244"] Dammit! You're right. In any case, it's a good enough approximation. The maximum number of rating points any side can win is 3 (for instance if Italy or Scotland beat the All Blacks by more than 15 points), so that will mean 0.3 points more (or less) on the line for the next games, and that effect in the following game would be 0.03 points. Most of the games have a lot less on stake, so unless there is a huge upset, I think it can be useful. You're right though, so the disclaimer should be made: if the results after a particular calculation are too close (I'd say less than 0.3 points or so), they should be taken carefully. [/QUOTE]
