Keeping Track of bets

[toby]

Any suggestions on how you guys keep track of all your current and past wagers? Excel/scrap of paper/other? I want to keep my history organized so I can figure out if I'm good at sports betting or not.

I write everything down and then put the information in Excel at the end of the week. That way I have everything on paper and on my computer. The good part about excel, is that you can organize and analyze the data very easily. hope this helps.

Yah, just use a spreadsheet in excel. It's easy to keep track of things, and you can set up some simple formulas to do the math for you. I have spreadsheets for each sport, with columns for date, team and spread, stake, return, and bankroll. If I was starting over, I'd probably include info on the line for each bet... but that's not necessary unless you want to do some data analysis. As an example, it would be nice to know if I do best betting dogs or favorites in baseball.
