    As I understand, in this position 80 should be replaced by some other number? I hope someone will explain how to count in a match using this method.

    i read this book. and i hope so i do all the things right (im a right or im a right?))

    80 - 17/3 + 2*1 = 72%
    i do this right?

    I don't think you will get an explicit answer
    that may lead to a discussion because you
    are a new-comer, not a member of the pack
    yet. :( Besides, they may suspect you already
    know the answer and you are baiting them. ;)

    Ignore MK and wait for Isight creator Axel, who is a regular poster
    here. Isight count is 17/16 (from 11/16). Figuring out the recube
    is beyond my meagre knowledge.

    No.

    80 - L/3 + 2 Delta L

    always gives you an estimate for your game winning chances, be it money
    session or match.

    How to double in money sessions with this GWC is explained in my
    article.

    In matches you calculate the doubling point and the cash point using
    METs, Neil's numbers, the Turner formula or what else. These points
    depend on score. The longer the race is, the closer you should double to
    the cash point. The shorter the race is, the closer you should double to
    the doubling point.

    And what is the claimed accuracy of your "Icing"
    on the "cow cake"...?? (approximate, of course ;)

    Ah so, you are here to farm potential
    whores for your personal bordello... :(

    BTW, while responding to him, it would
    have been polite of you to comply with
    his wish to "especially say hello to MK:)"
