How do I compute win/loss percentage for the games we've played
?

Total games won / Total games played = Winning percentage

Total games lost / Total games played = Losing percentage

Winning percentage + Losing percentage = 1.00

**Assuming no ties**

For ties add a half, for example,

Record is 8-4-1

8 Wins + .5 for 1 Tie = 8.5 / 13 total games = .654

Loss Percentage = (Loss Percentage / Selling Price)*100

I prefer to use the following formula, especially in Excel:

(Wins/Wins+Losses+Ties)+1-(Losses/Wins+Losses+Ties))/2

This gives you an accurate winning percentage regardless if there are ties involved or not.

I forgot to add a few Parenthesis; it should be:


(Wins/(Wins+Losses+Ties)+1-(Losses/(Wins+Losses+Ties)))/2
