I'm creating a spreadsheet to keep track of my hobby, sports betting. Of course, being a mediocre Excel nerd, I want to automate as much as possible, but now I'm running into a formula issue. I swear I'm so close, but now I need help from the pros. So here's what I have and what I'm looking for:
A1 B1 C1 D1
$5.00 -110 W Formula
So I worked out the math - if you have to bet $1.10 to win $1, in this example, if I won this bet, I would win $4.50. To get to that answer, you divide 5 by 1.1. So here's the formula I wrote:
=IF(C1="W","" & if(B1<0,A1/(B1/-100)))
Since the line is a negative number, I divide by -100 to get the positive answer. But this isn't perfect and I can't edit the format to round or be currency. PLUS I want to add to this formula overall. If I type in "Even" in C1, if I bet $5 I win $5, so that's easy enough. But if the number is positive in C1, then A1 needs to multiply by B1/100.
I hope this is making sense. I'm stuck. I guess I could try to find the answer on a betting website or something, but I'd rather ask you guys and actually learn how to do it with your help.
