The %s signifies that a string will be provided to go there. The % after the string signifies that the following variable/strings/tuple will contain the items to be placed where the %s's are (in order)
The tuple (wins, losses) are the two items that should replace the %s's Be aware that there are other place holders such as %i and %d that expect a certain data type. With %s, if it is not a string that is given to it, it will attempt to be converted to a string first.
