the way i would look at this would be from your example:-
the difference between you start figure of 6.4 and the drift to 8.4 = 2.
2/8.4 = .23809 so to me the drift is 23.81% and not the figure you have of 37%
That’s a very odd way of calculating this, basically makes it impossible to compare as you go up/down the odds. If it was 50 -> 100 you would get a 200% drift and 1.5 -> 2.0 is 25%...

6.4 - 8.2 is a percentage point difference (chance) of 3.4%, I strongly recommend using percentage point differences.
