    Spreadsheet ethics question
    Hey guys so just want a general consensus here. I’m in my hometown for a couple days and placed 3 bets on my phone at the bar and went 2-1 but the loss was for more points so ended up with a losing day. I’m going to add these (and All in on duke tomorrow) to my spreadsheet when I get home Friday but I realize it will show as posted after the game date. I’m going to bet all my points on duke tomorrow but I’m worried about people accusing me of lacking integrity, especially if I win tomorrow’s bet. Is this still the right thing to do posting it late? It wouldn’t feel right leaving them off and it’s not like I’m even positive on points since I started tracking anyways but on the slim hope I end up doing well after awhile I would hate to be accused of manipulating or editing my spreadsheet to look better than I’ve actually done. Do I leave these bets off or just add them a couple days late as I plan on doing? Hopefully this post will add some credibility if duke ends up hitting. Not like anyone cares about my spreadsheet, just wanted some (hopeful) confirmation that I’m going about this the right way. Obviously I should’ve added them tonight but I didn’t get my laptop out until just in time for the 11pm poker tourney and I didn’t even think of the spreadsheet then. Have taken a month off drinking until today when I took the reg section of cpa exam this morning and felt great about it so came to my hometown and drank a ton with some old friends so updating spreadsheet with picks wasn’t top priority. Leaving them off would be unfair since I lost, but adding late will look unfair if I hit my all in on duke tomorrow. Please don’t roast me too hard for this long annoying list, I’m just wasted and thought of this since I’m still up not tired yet and my friends went to sleep because they have work in the morning. I have school off til Monday when my class starts (prep for next cpa section FAR). Hope everyone is having a good week and crushing it, would recommend taking duke tomorrow as long as line is -2 or better. Also I’m a unc fan but they have a terrible team this year and I think duke would beat them even if they have another off night simply because of their depth and athleticism. Anyways sorry for the drunk rambling, love you all.

        I don't use the spreadsheet but I post picks in one continuous thread. Picks always posted before gametime, and easily done on phone

          Phin just post the plays before game time or within minutes of start if you are using the SBR sheet. That's it.

          You should make your own sheet and post it in a thread. When I do season threads that's usually how we track it. When winning though, I try not sum it up as much, the public gets weird when you are winning and I've ran into problems.

          The SBR spreadsheet is limited in scope. Of course, I suppose it depends on your reason for tracking and what you are trying to get out of it.

          You can include more information on your own sheet and some of that info could help the bottom line or even help with the big picture.

          Make sure you have a purpose and a goal. Let me know if I can help with more details.
