so yeah, in my opinion its important because it lets you know where your strengths and weaknesses are.

If you don't play often the data might not be very good as one or two big hits will skew things. But if you take the long view and look say at a whole year you should see trends.

Thanks. Think I am going to start my tracking by segregating two categories, pick4's and all other plays to start. Guess if my sheet has a few identifying columns, I can sort as needed once I get some data in there.

I will be playing NY tracks 95% of the time, so it souldn't be too tough.

Hopefully, it will keep me from throwing money around as well...

I must add that I find when I record bets, I bet smarter. I think a bit more before I bet. you dont want to look back at bets and ask yourself, why oh why did i waste my money on that!
