Yes, I keep a record of every wager. I break it down into seasons. Like 09' baseball wagers, 2010 baseball wagers, 09-10' Basketball wagers and so forth. I find I learn quite a bit by doing this. It often brings to the surface flaws in my betting style. Like betting too many road teams, too many favs, too many road favorites and so on. It's one of my most valuable tool when capping games.

yep i do, of every game by season by sport. I keep it on the comp plus I keep tract of every lean in my national rotation book. I also keep track of monthly profits and losses just like a business, and ROI.

I snap of photo of the wager with my phone and store it. Then, when I get time I sit down and transfer it to my computer. Takes maybe 20-30 minutes once or twice a week.

Yes, I do. I try to keep detailed records of my bets to learn from them, usually in an excel file. I'm even creating a new one to try to make things simpler and to show me more information about my own bets.

Based on the number of responses to this thread (http://www.therxforum.com/showthread.php?t=779180&highlight=) though, I'm going to go ahead and say that like nobody keeps track of their bets. I mean, I was offering to do all the hard coding to get useful results (just wanted ideas for what those results might be), and only two people responded.

Nothing about being Smart, just thought it would be easier. :103631605

couldn't figure out why you were taking a picture of the wagers...thought maybe you were keeping the pictures to show the book, in case there was a problem.

Finding it so hard to join sports half way through, really want NFL to start so i can follow one capper straight out the entire season instead of moving around!! thats ruined me so bad :(

I write off everything pertaining to my gambling on a yearly basis. Even my internet connection. d1g1t

Anyone who doesn't keep records can keep lying to themselves.

I would just like people to keep a record of the NFL or NCAA games that they thought were a "lock" and what the result was.

I don't keep records. Past is in the past, and I don't want to be reminded of the idiotic wagers that i may have placed.
