Winning percentage In sports , a winning percentage is the fraction of games or matches a team or individual has won . It is defined as wins divided by wins plus losses ( i . e . — the total number of matches ) . Ties count as a ½ loss and a ½ win . Winning percentage is one way to compare the record of two teams ; however , another standard method most frequently used in baseball and professional basketball standings is games behind . For example , if a team ' s season record is 28 – 16 – 5 , the team has participated in 49 matches . The five ties represent 2½ wins and 2½ losses , and so the team has an adjusted record of 30½ wins and 18½ losses , resulting in a winning percentage . In baseball , pitcher s are assessed wins and losses as an individual statistic and thus have their own winning percentage , based on their win – loss record . A pitcher ' s winning percentage is commonly expressed to three digits . The name " winning " percentage " " is actually a misnomer , since a winning percentage , such as . 536 , is commonly not expressed as a percentage . The same value expressed as a percentage would be 53 . 6 % . In leagues in which points are awarded for ties and overtime losses , it ' s possible for a team to have a winning percentage above 0 . 500 ( 50 % ) despite losing more than half of the games it has played . Statistics . National Hockey League . In ice hockey , standings are determined by points , not wins , changing the nature of this statistic . In the National Hockey League , teams are awarded two points for a win , and one point for either a tie ( a discontinued statistic ) or an overtime loss . Since this calculation is not based solely on wins , the statistic is called points percentage . It can be calculated as follows :
