1. In a symmetric model, team 1 and team 2 would invest money until they reach Nash equilibrium and their profits are maximized. Since this model is a symmetric model, both teams have the same incentive to win and therefore at equilibrium it can be assumed that win% for team 1 will equal the win% for team 2.
