I use the same thing as Johnny ... Wagerstation. Solid for tracking scalps and book balances. In the past it was Excel but it became quite bloated ... it is a good option though if programmed corrected as SOS says.
Sherman, I just find that tracking balances from your books is not good enough ... with this Wstation I can run reports that tell me winning percentages on sports or bet types etc...
Just my two cents....

orbit,
yeah it rocks. i had a pretty nice excel sheet lander made for me, but this is light years away. the drop down for all the teams, updates current schedules, updates scores and than grades your games. has a screen shot feature and stores it for you. the best part is you can put in MLB totals for Pinnacle and see how you do, track systems, etc. <SCRIPT type=text/javascript> vbmenu_register("postmenu_1920345", true); </SCRIPT>

www.sportscrew.com has this service and does it for you at no charge from what I understand!
Good recordkeeping is an essential part of successful handicapping. For several years now I have been relying exclusively on a custom-made excel spreadsheet that tells me my current balance at all the sportsbooks I use, w/l records along with units won/lost and return on risk percentages for each and every sport during any period of time I care to input (i.e. from 1/1/1999 to 6/30/2003, or during the past 3 weeks, or whatever), the w/l records of any handicappers I track or follow, my bank / neteller balance that updates on the fly, and other such features. All this information is automatically updated such that all I have to do is input my wagers for the day, along with the date and the amount of each bet and any deposits/withdrawals made, and I can see exactly where I stand at-a-glance. At any given time I am aware of my strengths and weaknesses and know where and how to partition my bankroll optimally. I honestly do not know what I would do for a single day without my spreadsheet, and for better or worse I believe the same should be true of any bettor who expects to make long-term profits. Good organization and accurate, detailed record-keeping cannot be understated.
SHRINK,This is ALL you need....
that is HILARIOUS!!!!!
remember when Bill Gates said "who would ever need more than 64K on a computer"?
would you have said 10 years ago.... who needs the internet when we can all phone in our Bets?
Just because something is good & works well (SPREADSHEET) doesnt mean new & better inventions cannot be created (WEB BASED WAGER TRACKER)....
dogdoug,
you get like a 2 week trial. i would test it out. they put me on the beta group for their new "arb/scalp" add-on. all i have to say is wow. i had a pretty bad azz scalping/middle program built about 2 years ago that would rival anyone who scalps and the one they are building is amazing.
