Maths people, help!
In "Scarne on Cards", John Scarne discusses the odds for a game. He says this:
"The chances are 12220 to 9880 in their favour. [These numbers are definitely correct -- sil] That is, the percentage in their favour is 10-1/123."
Where's he getting that percentage from? How's he doing the calculation? I can't end up at that number, so I must be doing something wrong...
