mine is very simple. i have one bank account that is used for gambling. every time i collect/pay the local...it goes in/out. evertime i do a neteller transaction, it goes in/out. everytime i play cards i make a withdrawl and most times, a deposit the next day.
not useful for detail but, i know how much i'm up. and that's all that really matters to me.

I use a spreadsheet. The spreasheet has separate sections going down for each sportsbook. After making a wager I drag the wager confirmation from the web browser (highlight and move with mouse or I copy and paste) to a spreadsheet. At the end of the day, next to each wager I put the win or loss amount. I then confirm at each sportsbook that I have been paid all my winnings.
A formula at the top of the spreadsheet computes the total loss or winnings for the day. I put that amount in the far left column on the spreadsheet next to the day.

I keep a very detailed spreadsheet. Page one is wagers with a lot of the same data that InSpades describes. Date, league, wager details. I have a lot of little codes I've developed.
I also categorize bets into types (gambling-handicapping, gambling-mathematical, arbs, sides/middles, bonuses - I have single character codes for each). I also have fields for start time and rotation number (which is handy for ncaab and ncaaf) and also a column for who I'm cheering for. I don't know if that sounds funny but I place a lot of bets and can't always remember.
I have codes for all the many books I use. For my situation, it's important to follow-up that everything has been graded properly. There's too much going on to remember everything.
The next page is for banking. Deposits/withdrawals, monthly tracking of profits.
And I've got a number of pages for ongoing research and then some archives of bets and banking from past years. It is a big, extremely important file that I wouldn't want to lose and I e-mail copies every week to two different associates as disaster insurance.

I recently started using Wagerstation. It's an excellent program and it tracks everything. Prior to that, I was using spreadsheets like everyone else. Wagerstation puts it all in one place.
