    How do you guys keep track of your betting?

    I usually start a spreadsheet but then I start losing motivation in keeping track of it. Does it help or not?

    Yea I get the idea of that, but do you log EVERYTHING? Because I am on the run a lot and the last thing I wanna do when I get home is log however many bets i made while I was out and about. I mean is there just a general upside to it?

    excel with some simple formulas, separate tab for each weekend's action. chart daily line movements on the games i'm eying once openers are out on sunday. lots of upside imo.

    Did start a spreadsheet a couple years back and had similar issues with not keeping it fully updated and missing bets I made while I was out and about etc. The only thing I do try to do is have a notepad sheet of any futures bets I make and what books they are placed at, so that I remember what I am cheering on come the end of the season.

    Having said that I do have various spreadsheets etc setup and various printouts, often with hand scribbled notes from me and bets I have made, to keep track of certain stats/angles that I am have been looking at, but it isnt all that organized.

    To be honest though, I dont place all that many bets per week - maybe a dozen or so over the weekend on NCAAF/NFL, and the odd bet in the week if I see something I like, and all for smallish stakes as well, usually around £50 is my top level for bets I realy like, and ranging from there downwards depending on how I rate the selections - its pretty rare these days for me to bet more than that really, and usually even then more often than not laying off to lock in a profit on a futures bet or something.
