[Mags]

same damn thing, pretty funny actually.

 

[BigRaktor]

I use excell, but only to reconcile what I'm up/down for each week so I know what to give/collect from my local. If you don't mind sharing yours Mags, pm me please.

:cheers:

Pretty good system...are these just fake numbers or do you seriously have that many ties? I couldnt help but notice your 32-6-38 record for NFL.

uhhhh i believe the "T" column is for total plays not ties....

 

[sjsjsj]

nah T is total plays (Wins+Losses) and percentage is (Wins/Total*100)

 

[NICKELCHARLIE]

sorry...im an idiot

 

[NICKELCHARLIE]

but 32-6 is still a helluva record

:36_9_2:C-Gold is just going to spit out winners, you should have 2 columns...

wins and total plays.

I keep a detailed spreadsheet of all wagers, who played, the odds, how much I wagered, and the win/loss. I have a different file for each sport and it's separated by seasons. For NBA, I separate it by month. I have all sorts of columns totaled, and various items such as weekends vs weekdays can be compared easily.

I know a lot of folks use actual pen and paper notebooks.

Either works, but if you ever get audited, it's better to have more info than less.

I write it down on a lotto ticket I keep in my wallet

[c.r.e.a.m.]

I have an excel worksheet per sport. Pretty much the same thing. I have a list of my bets, stake on each bet, and amount of cash won/lost.

 

[sjsjsj]

nice nice
i added the little money management at the bottom as a reminder not to be fucking dumb.
as you can see by my parlay record i don't often follow it

i guess teasers in a sense is borderline suicide too. but i pick my spots well and they're pretty much my favorite plays.

Along the same lines, one should record the opening & closing lines for each game, every week, for all teams. Yes, it's a lot of work but after a few seasons, you'll start to see a pattern for the teams/coaches and from that one can make more informed wagers.

 

[B.A.R.]

Very good thoughts in this thread gentlemen.

and a horrible image of someone with gold teeth and a brown ring around his mouth...

Easiest way is to copy PDF of the wagers on line at your offshore before and after they are graded. You dont have to text anything.
They do all the work with the lines and wager amounts when you make the bets, so why not copy them in a PDF and save them. See example from bases.
