How do you track your wagers?

[SBR Lou]

Writing down bets?

Excel?

For the latter crowd, how long did it take to familiarize yourself with the spreadsheet software and did you use any templates floating around or build one yourself?

on paper with bet id#

[Stacocakes]

I put the bets down on paper and then total it at the end of the day. Then enter the daily up/down amount into an excel spreadsheet that totals the weeks and year to date winning amounts

Sounds like the spreadsheet I'm looking for, did you make it yourself?

[flyingillini]

I made my own spread sheet using Word Perfect on my macbook.

My wife keeps track.

My wife keeps track.

Oh I bet she does.

[smitch124]

Excel for sure, its made for tracking bets. Do people use it for other stuff??

paper and a notebook.

i only use excel to calculate asian handicap from 3-way

[hackattack]

Oh I bet she does.

She knows me. Gambling for 25 years but only successful in the last two because she keeps the money in check. It's not broken so I'm not fixing it.

i'm a scatter brain, i got papers everywhere, stacks here and there, notes here and there, i'm not a high roller, so i really don't care, but i try to keep a little organized.

i wish i knew how to set up programs and spreadsheets, save me a lot of paper and writing.

Was hoping some people would come forward with easy tips.

Majority of guys do not keep track because it would show how much they really lose monthly.

I used a custom web based program using mysql

They are really cranking down on it now, honing in on some different features. I'm not sure the precise release date but at this rate I feel comfortable saying when mySBR goes live in August, the tracker should be about good to go.

That also leaves some time before football to field different suggestions, to potentially make it even better, so it should be exciting.

You are right JJ. I do like to track my bets though. It makes me sick to my stomach when I look at the stats.

A smart investory/gambler realises losses to make further gains. Acting badly to losses only leads to further losses in the long term

[jjgold]

Anyone that does not track wagers is usually jut an action junkie or a recreational bettor.

[SlickFazzer]

You must run and track it like a business or you have zero chance of making money.

[max_asdf]

excel

want better template though ;p

[jjgold]

Max SBR might have an excel template coming soon, I hear it is close

That is disheartening to hear.

But I see your point.

[bleuze]

I find this to be an excellent idea. Are there any suggestions what should be tracked? I've got a few ideas, but then it became too complex and time consuming.

I think you should list what you feel your given edge is, aside from just the time/date/unit size etc.

[juzgotlucky]

what im doing is compile it in MS Excel with date and bet number. But in bookies where i place bet they have this account history where you can track your records. But i trust more the one i have just to make sure you know always have my own reference.
