    Excel Formula

    Hello all Excel gurus. I've been trying to figure out how to do some equations in Excel for a few days but no success so far. So i found this forum maybe some of you can help me out

    So I am a poker player and I am trying to do some calculations about EV(expected value). I am really just trying to calculate if a certain move has positive or negative EV.
    I have one example for you.

    So the formula is like this:
    FOLD EQUITY Formula: EV = [EV(fold)] * x +[EV(call)] * (1-x)

    EV(call)=-12.85
    EV(fold)= 370
    EV(total) = 370x-12.85(1-x)
    EV(total) = 370x-12.85+12.85x
    EV(total) = 382.85x-12.85
    12.85 = 382.5x
    x=12.85/382.85
    X=3.4%

    I can find out EV(call) and EV(fold) values thru other calculations and software. All i would like to do is to plug in the numbers into some excel cells and get the result.

    notes: Ev(total)= 0 just so it does not bring any confusion.

    I would be Extremly glad if somebody could help me out with this.

    I attach my excel file



    Cheers

    Hi,

    Unless I'm missing something, isn't it simply:

    where call and fold are the cell reference locations of those two values.

    Fish, hex, there's no need to quote whole posts in responding. It just occupies space.
