I think tracking holds yourself accountable and also gives you a clear picture of where you are at money-wise over the long term
Did you start tracking this year privately like I suggested ?

I used to write down everything in a notebook. Now its just for taking notes on things I see (trends, other peoples plays to investigate, etc...).

To track my bets, I found its easier to pull up the history on my sportsbooks and cut/paste it into an excel spreadsheet. That way I can sort my plays by sports, bet type, size, etc.... using macros.

I probably overanalyze s#it too much. :banghead:
JJ accuses me of that.

I've seen a lot of posters catch grief for not posting records, units, or keeping accurate numbers

However, much of the time the complaining is coming from guys who don't even post their own plays, and in my opinion should have no say in the matter

I wish I could remember the name of this poster many years ago who showed up at a bash in the Bahamas

This guy was a walking sports encyclopedia on the forum and in person too.... Literally

I sh!t you now he had a briefcase with him at the bar filled with sports and betting material

He had an answer to every sports topic and question a group of us had it came up with

I've never seen anything like this guy before or since.....it was remarkable
It sounds like you met KVB.
