Estimated probability the first entrant gets more votes than the second in a hypothetical head-to-head poll, from the two ratings' implied odds within Best. Game. Ever. (2009)’s own fit (sA / (sA + sB), where s = rating / (100 − rating)). This is a win probability, not a predicted share of the vote, and it is only meaningful because both ratings came from this same contest's fit.
