Thread: Trying to find a minimum value to satisfy IF statement

Hello all,

I am learning to code using Excel 2007. I am trying to create a formula for a roulette betting scheme that will display the next bet based off of a required minimum gain from betting on a single number. It is a quasi Martingale approach so if the first bet is a loss, the formula will determine the next bet to satisfy the loss and the required minimum gain.

I am trying to use an If statement to find a minimum bet that will result in a Gain that is equal to or greater than the Min Gain requirement. the current If statement in the Bet column will advance the bet by 1, however I want it to advance by 2, 3, 4, etc, in order to continue resulting in a Gain greater than or equal to the value specified by the Min Gain.

Many Thanks
