Not quite. If you want 50% of the league to have no beards, then the number for No Beard should be 50% of the total. Your total in the scenario above would be 465 (155+310), and therefore beards would occur at a 33% frequency (155/465 = 0.333333).
To figure out the frequency of any single beard option, you divide the number of that beard by the total of all the numbers. So, to get No Beard to occur at a 50% frequency in your game, you're going to want the number to be 155 (155+155 = 310; 155/310 = 0.5).
