    Why are so many guys afraid to keep a spreadsheet?

    We all should keep sbr spreadsheets. that way we know whos hot and who is not

    who cares if most of your picks lose most of mine do and i still mark them on the spreadsheet

    fukkin corbin is down 60k on his spreadsheet

    I have been validated for years because I use it

    Many cannot take that they do not win and do not want others to see how bad they are

    Some use it and stop when picks go bad

    never miss

    I keep one, but I always go on tilt after a bad run and clear it... need to quit doing that.

    I feel like if I put my plays down in a post or in writing somewhere I jinxed myself. I am going to keep one now with my points betting and hope I get past that and keep it through baseball and see if I get over it.

    Yah I admit to being down as a gambler obviously.. however it's more of the effort combined with my laziness. Everyone should though in theory.

    In my "points" betting, I have been on a roll since last night..

    I just did a sheet and already am losing both tennis matches.. this is what I am talking about.. if I lose both of these after kicking ass up until the spreadsheet I need to stay away from it

    I use a backend SQL table to track mine, I guess I dont see the point in duplicating the work just to put it up here.

    Sportbooks keep my figures for me. Weekly/monthly what ever time period I need.

    Usualy just post a play if I feel strongly about the wager.

    I am going to use the spreadsheet and "pretend" I am betting real money. I will make every bet a $50 bet. Watch how terrible I continue to with it.

    I am beginning to think the only bets I win are with bookies who don't pay..

    i dont think anyone is afraid.

    for me personally its a matter of redundancy.. why track it on a spreadsheet when i already have it tracked in my bet history.

    i post screenshots

    fuk a spreadsheet

    screenshots mean nothing since they're so easily faked

    neither do spreadsheets really since some ie birdmanweezy, just reset every 2nd day

    it's all just a crapshoot... gamble and have a good time. Do what you want... but no one will care unless you post a spreadsheet. Some don't give a rat's about that and that's cool too. GL

    I never really saw the point of sharing my plays... My plays are either at a price that more then likely no one else is going to be able to get, on something that would more then likely be stupid to share, or something I have an opinion on and more then likely is going to lose...

    Personally I don't see much value in sharing any of the above...

    Tried in the past, but, all of my plays are made at real sportsbooks, not on the internet, I seem to forget to add them when I am out and about...

    98% of gamblers lose money; it seems cruel to ask them to do anymore work than simply sending their hard-earned/scammed money to the bookie for redistribution to the winners (minus the hold).

    I've often wondered if the American Republican Party couldn't be easily convinced to support legalized online gambling simply by presenting it to them as just another vehicle for regressive redistribution of wealth. Who needs Wall St./Congress to steal from the poor and give to the rich when so many people (squares) would voluntarily donate every extra penny they have to a nameless stranger with a better grasp of advantage gambling than them?

    The reason so few people keep a legitimate account of their wagering is because it would violently shatter their delusion of being a winner. It's the same reason people don't keep a record of how much they spend on alcohol, tobacco or any other vice: because seeing how much you pay to decrease your quality of life only serves to decrease it further.

    Would you ask an amputee to stare at his stump all day? Or a man with no penis to watch porn? Of course not, and neither should you ask these poor gamblers in Players Talk to keep a spreadsheet! Where's the humanity?
