Woolsey's Match Equity Table
By Kit Woolsey
A match equity table tells you your chance of winning the
match at each different score. It is a useful tool in making
doubling decisions. Woolsey's table is derived from a combination
of empirical data and assumptions about gammon probability
and the value of doubling potential. While it may not be totally
accurate, the figures should be correct to within a percent
or two. The table has proven to be of practical value, and
is used by most experts today.
