I have done so but I was consistent and I did not have such a very specific spreadsheet about everything. It looks like a good one this one on photo here and I am very well envious about it so most likely I am going to implement it about sport betting. Since I am in a transitional phase where I am slowly getting away from the slots it means that I want to focus completely on sport betting which I think is the only game where the casino does not has an house edge and we are playing 50-50 chances against the casino much different from every luck game there and even poker because they get a guaranteed fee from every poker hand as they say it and the only chance for us mere mortals is sport betting, where can I find such spreadsheet if I can find any that is already made with the formulas and everything ?

This might be new for some who just gamble without a real bankroll, but for those who are serious about sports betting, consider this: data is crucial for tracking your journey. According to a site I found that also shows a good format for spreadsheet tracking, here are the benefits of keeping tabs on your bets.
Very nice I support your idea as here it will be possible to track someone's gambling activity perfectly.  Due to which a gambler will keep track of his weekly and monthly profit losses and if he notices that his losses are getting too high, he will take caution and try to withdraw from gambling.  This sheet can make a gambler liable.  Due to which he can be saved from a lot of big losses.  I myself will create a seat in the format you provided to calculate my gambling activity for the whole month.  Thanks for sharing something like this
You can always download your monthly statistics snapshot from the site you gamble on to track your activity so I don't think it's a problem if you don't waste your time separately. But yes it is definitely better if you do this calculation manually so that you can keep track of your daily gambling activities which can be helpful for you to quit gambling at any time. Because only visible financial loss can force someone to stay away from gambling

The only ones with great power are bookies and corporate teams that can make us win big, various ways of betting on games will only confuse our minds. Enjoy the game without hope and let the money flow just enough. Maybe life playing gambling will be more relaxed, not carried away by the flow of ambition that has no power, just waiting patiently for your turn to win.
I never thought of becoming a professional gambler, I just wanted to be someone who is indeed professional in other jobs, because becoming a professional gambler is the same as we have to be able to beat the dealer, while the dealer is the owner of power in this case, they can determine whether the player will win or not.

I agree with you, playing it properly will make the situation under control and enjoying the game being played is one of the things that must be done, because being too serious in responding to it can actually be a disaster.
But, doesn't it make you superior if you beat someone else? Or in our case here, the casino dealer. It was not the dealer who has a power but they are only working in a casino. The real ones who have it, is the casino owner but if we beat the dealer, it is like the same as beating the owner as well. The feeling would be superb, knowing that they make a lot of people (including us before) to suffer. The casino dealer don't know the result but they are only like a host who serves the game. So players can always have the chance to win, unless only if the casino is shady and there are manipulations going on.

When you say play the game properly, that actually sounds that we are playing it seriously. It is not the one that can cause a disaster but it was the other way around. Going back to the profession that we are talking about earlier, each of us has their own interest, so I won't still force you if you like the other than being a pro gambler. For some people who are sick and tired of working in an office, field, etc.. (away from gambling), they think being a pro gambler is a good idea, since gambling can give you entertainment and on top of that, money. This is like the same for being a gamer which is also a streamer at the same time.

I never thought of becoming a professional gambler, it is also true what you said by making some tables it will not immediately make it easier for us to become a professional in gambling, because there is no certainty about winning in my opinion it is something that must be realized and also in any case the chances of winning that the casino has are greater than the players, including with a professional gambler I think this is still the same.
Those who are said to be professional gamblers I think do not mean that they can change their chances of winning, but there are other things that they do master but I doubt that can make them always win in every gamble they do.

If you really want to become a professional gambler, we should be able to see ourselves, whether it is our financial ability or our own skills such as in responding to situations that are not possible or uncomfortable, seeing how we control ourselves in gambling whether it is good or not. It takes very mature consideration to become a professional gambler, because the big risk cannot be eliminated.
That clearly no certainty to be a pro gamblers because we need to set up and learn many things which is not easy. We must know that becoming a pro gamblers need time and not many people willing to spend much time to learn more. Besides that, we don't know how much money we will use to learn the skill until we have a better skill.

While we learning and test for what we learn, we may face many losses which can drain our money. Not to mention if we lose control in gambling because that can happens anytime without we realize. So it is better to think twice before you decide to become a pro gambler and if you think that is difficult, you should not continue and only playing gambling occasionally.

That will be better for you because you don't have to playing gambling very often and only gambling when you have free time. You don't use more money to gambling because you know the risk.

This idea is very inspiring and I like the idea. But for gamblers who are highly emotional and have no desire to see their losing history, they will not do this.
For me, actually writing down all our betting history can help us predict the results of the next match and especially in football matches which sometimes provide unexpected surprises. And with the betting history on the spreadsheet, we can use the previous results as a reference to strengthen the prediction and maybe I want to try it.
Because so far I have only relied on statistics from my favorite gambling site to see the number of wins and losses.

Doesnt that sounds controversial? You say that something unexpected happens, yet suggest to make analysis based on previous results. How come past results can help you if you say that result might be  random? And if we see that statistically, one team beat other numerous times, it will be reflect in the odd. In short, bookmakers do that tracking when they give odds, tracking results yourself is a double job. Like you just check if they are correct. I can suppose that sometimes bookmakers make mistakes and expect that both team have equal chances to win, when in reality one is an obvious underdog. But such mistakes are so rare, that relying to find such is a waste of time.

This is a practical way to become better at sports betting. Knowing when and where you are lacking and probably in the long run. It's always best to study and see where you are lacking, and then you can start from there and improve. I believe it's the step to improve and get more consistent with yourself. Keep an eye on yourself and see if you are making mistakes in your decisions.

So, sports bettors, has it ever crossed your mind to keep a spreadsheet?

To be honest I never known that a betting has a spreadsheet and keep track all the winning and loss haha I usually just look at the history and don't know there are people who track like this.
Good that you've realized it now. If your mindset in sports betting is ambitious - thinking you can win consistently in the long run..it really helps you see the bigger picture. That's why I always say, "study to become a pro," because the pros track everything, and they’ve got their own spreadsheets for it.


That’s a pretty solid format for a spreadsheet, simple and easy to use. If possible, you could download it and keep your records offline for privacy, especially if you want to avoid any criticism if your win rate isn’t quite there yet. LOL.

Well, this has certain advantages, but only for those who have truly made betting an integral part of their lives. I'm not so passionate about it that I can also make up some tables. Although it may make sense for betting, but only for a long time period.
This is if the person entirely based on gambling for a living and realistically, looking upon making tables to keep tracking record could be a lot of task in my opinion except such person has taken gambling as a full time job without looking for source of money. This type could easily leads to gambling addiction since all attention is being focused on gambling.
I think it is very difficult to be able to generate consistent winnings in gambling of course it would be very unlikely to make gambling a main source of income and in terms of keeping track of how much we have spent on gambling is indeed important so that we can know how much we have spent money on gambling and if it is still within a reasonable amount of course it is not a problem but when we have spent too much money on gambling of course this will have a bad impact on ourselves and also the people around us of course this is not desired by anyone.

But even if they make up some tables, that doesn't mean they can easily to becomes a pro gambler. They need to prepares many things to becomes a pro gambler which will not easy to get it. They must trained themselves from many things that is needed and they should know that will consume time to learn how to become a pro gamblers.

Becoming a pro gamblers is not just having a spreadsheet to track our gambling activity but more than that. If someone can be patience and learn and practice the lesson, maybe he will have a chance to be a pro gamblers.

They should know that to become a pro gamblers needs more money and there are no right amount to be like that. They need to think twice to becomes a pro gamblers and about the risk so they don't just waste their money in gambling.

I do track my expenses, only to know if I am spending extremely more than I have earned this month or no, so that next month I should slow down with money spending. Same method might gamblers to understand if they should slow down betting, or maybe it will be wise to pause gambling for a while. But I dont really understand how it will help me to become pro.
Pros track their sports betting performance. Tracking isn’t about limiting expenses, if you're a responsible gambler, you've already set a bankroll that you can afford to lose over a certain time. If you lose it all, you don’t add more. And don’t think of it like expenses, that makes it sound like you expect to lose.

With same example that I track expenses, that does not help me to become a pro in earning money. But for a gambler, that wont help to understand if, for example, one football team will definitely have a victory over other and I should place a bet on it. It can only show where I am better at predicting winner.
Personal expenses and gambling funds are different. If you treat gambling like an expense, you’ll never become a pro- that mindset will hold you back.

Perhaps it is due to my vision on gambling, that I dont really see how sports bet tracking helps to improve. Since its all about fun for me, I dont take betting that serious. Maybe you can explain, if I write down my bets with final score predictions, lets say I have made 20 bets in last quarter. I have won half of them with predicting that one team will win with 1 goal advantage, then how com that table with list of my bets help me to change my win:lose ration ?

This idea is a who lot of job and something that will be difficult to implement but if actually applied could be very helpful. To be honest, I don't see myself doing this because of the time it will take me and for the fact that analyzing different matches and sporting events is already a who lot of time consuming job. Gambling is not the only thing I do and if I add this to my gambling, which is like record keeping, other things will suffer lack of attention like some are already doing as the football season approaches the peak. I only track my spending on gambling to ensure it is not much of a burden on me, this is enough for me for the moment.

Despite how demanding it can be to do it, some dedicated gamblers are doing it, especially those who have always made gambling their source of income and for years they have been gambling and partially making a living out of it but when you are not gambling intensely for profit but rather have some demands daily life activities, I think it will be difficult for you to do this. Like myself, I see it as a waste of time, I might be gambling with the intension to make profit but gambling is not a big deal for me, if I win anytime I go gambling, then be it and if I lose too, so be it.

Keep a record of the way we have been gambling over some period of time may not be necessary because it has nothing to improve on us concerning the current situation to how we are gambling, as you also have mentioned, those that do this may not only engageed doing it like that, it may be under a request or for them to have a long time summary of how they have been gambling, ml when making a review about themselves with the way they are gambling.

This might be new for some who just gamble without a real bankroll, but for those who are serious about sports betting, consider this: data is crucial for tracking your journey. According to a site I found that also shows a good format for spreadsheet tracking, here are the benefits of keeping tabs on your bets.

What are the benefits of tracking your bets?

1. You can find what bet types you excel at.  By tracking your bets, and grouping the data by bet type (spreads, totals, moneylines, props, parlays, teasers) you can quickly find out what types profit you the most, and which ones cause you to lose your bankroll to the books.

2. Learn what leagues you profit from the most. This is a big one, and although you probably have a good idea of what leagues you're best at, grouping your bet data by league can greatly improve your chances of figuring out exactly what is causing those wins on your NFL bets, and causing those big losses for NHL bets, for example.

3. Spot any favoritism or biases you have.  I spoke with a semi-pro bettor named William after the 2020-21 NBA season. Will told me that after the season, he broke all his tracked bet data down by team and compared it to the research he had done before he placed each bet. He realized that there were at least 15 times he lost a bet where his research had pointed him to bet on one team, but his favoritism caused him to bet on the opposite team!  Crazy right?  Think of all the biases that could be keeping you from making the right decisions.

4. The ability to follow your money.  By this I mean knowing where your money is going, where you are putting the most in, where you are losing the most, and what areas you are profiting the most

So, sports bettors, has it ever crossed your mind to keep a spreadsheet?

Tracking your bets is a good thing to do as it helps us manage our profits and losses and also manage our overall expenses.
Many gambling sites allows us to download our betting transactions and that makes it easier for us to track the bets.
