    Default Calculating Odss based on Win Pct

    I need an excel formula that can take the porbablilty % and calculate the american odds.

    I can figure it out by trial and error or by pen, paper and algebra. But I want to have excel do it for me.

    For example how can get Excel to calculate 60% = -150 for me?

    Default

    =IF(A1<=0.5,SUM((1/A1)*100)-100,SUM((1/(1-A1))*-100)+100)

    Where A1 contains the probabilty e.g. 0.60

    How do you calculate the win probability if you knew the line was -150? In other words what is the reverse formula -150 to .6?

    =IF(A1>0,SUM(1/((A1+100)/100)),SUM(1-(1/((A1-100)/-100))))

    Again where cell A1 contains the US odds.

    Was that really that hard to do for yourself? The only slightly complicated thing in there was an if statement... Learn excel, its the least you can do.

    Yes. That was hard to do by myself. That is why I posted the question.

    Blargh...I've seen Tim's file (previously posted) and it is easily understood and self-explanatory. Take him up on his offer and save the file on your 'puter.
