Let'ssay My guess for Link's % was 55. By what you have written that wouldbe 50 - (55-60) which would be equal to 55points. So basically what I'msaying is, should it be an absolute value? Or did I miss somethingsomewhere about underpredictions?
"Correctly choosing the winner earns you 50-x points.
Incorrectly choosing the winner earns you 45-2x points.
(Where x is the difference between your guess and the character's actual percentage.)"
So yeah it's [50 - difference], not [50 - (prediction - result)]
