I'm interested in using Monte Carlo simulation to predict daily game outcomes (NHL). Ideally what I'd like is a sample of how to input/format the data in excel and run a simulation 'x' amount of times to get a win probability. I really have no clue where to begin, there is information online regarding these simulations but I would like something directed on single event sport outcomes. An excel template, or step by step would be ideal. I know I'm asking a lot but these things must exist. I'm no math guru, that's why step by step in laymans terms is ideal. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
