I have a spreadsheet that I'm currently using to manage my betting habit. Instead of making the calculations manually and filling them in, I want to try and automate everything. I have three columns that need working on, column D has the odds that I'm betting on, column E has the stakes, column F is going to be a boolean value (Y or N) that I enter, to signify a sucessful or failed bet. What I want to happen is that if I enter a Y in a row in column F, then I want the product of D and E entered into the column next to it. If I enter a N, then I want the stake (the value in column E) to be entered into column next to it.

Is this, or something like it possible?

Yes, just use a pair of IF() functions:
In column G: =IF(F2="Y",D2*E2,0) In column H: =IF(F2="Y",0,E2)
