Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a programmable device having a processor electronically linked to programmable memory, a display and an input; said memory having stored therein an array of data reflecting a set of odds-values used in determining an outcome between a first side having a first strength value and a second side having a second strength value in a game; said memory further having storage for accepting a first inputted number as said first strength value and a second inputted number as a second strength value; said memory further having stored therein a set of instructions callable by said processor, said instructions including determining whether the ratio of the first strength value to the second strength value is between a relatively higher odds-value and a relatively lower odds-value of the set of odds-values, determining a closeness factor reflecting the closeness of the ratio of the first strength value to the second strength value to one of said two odds-values, and outputting to said display one of said two odds-values.
