Default Record Keeping in Excel?

I'm going to finally try and keep records of my wagers over the second half of the year. Does anyone have an excel version of a way to do this?

I'm tinkering around with it myself, but it looks pretty raw. I wondered if anyone had something to share that might be more "professional."

Any others ideas - brainstorming on record keeping?

Thanks in advance for the help. I tried to search for a thread on this elsewhere on the site but came up empty - if there is a thread already dedicated to this I'll kindly shut up if you could point me in the right direction. Thanks!

I think it's easier to just use a word document. . . I do it sort of like this:

Track - Conditions

Race - Distance/Surface - Race Conditions - Wager - Net result

Race - Distance/Surface - Race Conditions - Wager - Net result

Race - Distance/Surface - Race Conditions - Wager - Net result

Track - Wagered: Returned: Net:

Day - Wagered: Returned: Net:

Month - Wagered: Returned: Net:

Year - Wagered: Returned: Net:

Scav check you PM. Thanks for the help.

Does anyone on here keep records or is it really like less than 5% of players that actually do it. That would be my guess.

I would think that most people on here who are serious keep records.

last year I kept track and started to this year, but have fell a little behind. I have a VERY basic Excel file that I use. Shoot me a PM if you want me to send you a copy.

Nope. Thanks - I'll look into it. My system works pretty well for me though.
