You were almost there.........just move a couple of parenthisis and add for
condition that B1 should be blank if cell A1 is blank (or accidently
contains anything else)........

=IF(A1="Win","3",IF(A1="Tie","1",IF(A1="Loss","0","")))

Incidently, the double quotes you have around the numbers actually turn
their result into TEXT format, if you want actual numbers use same formula
but just delete those double quotes, like...........

=IF(A1="Win",3,IF(A1="Tie",1,IF(A1="Loss",0,"")))
