    You could use the Log Sub-Fourm on here - although that means you are making stuff public

    A spreadsheet in Google Docs works wonders if you set it up right

    Although buying a nice little Moleskine notebook is great - I found if you write down everything you do it ends up helping you make smarter decisions in the long run. Having something physical to keep track of when you make a bets (especially when doing a lot of online bets) is a great plus.

    I would reccomend registering (for free) at mysbrforum.com and using their spreadsheet. For example this guy who is an excellent NHL tipster use it - http://guil0000.mysbrforum.com/spreadsheet/

    This is a great spreadsheet for keeping track of bets :

    Betting Spreadsheet.

    It has stats on every market you bet on, sports you bet on, a diagram of total profit/loss etc.

    That's class, cheers for posting it up. Just one thing, how do you change the currency to €? I know it makes no difference really but still.

    Edit: Nevermind figured it out.

    Firstly you have to unprotect the editable sheets
    "Worksheet protection

    As it stands, only limited sections of this spreadsheet can be edited. This is to prevent key formulas from being accidentally overwritten. To unlock a worksheet, go to that worksheet and select Tools -> Protection -> Unprotect Sheet The password to unlock each worksheet is sport"
    Then highlight any columns that are £ and on the home tab (at the top), look for the Number column, it's the fourth one across. With all the £ column highlighted look for the dropable menu with the note and coins. Click it and Euro should be there. You might have to go through the whole sheet highlighting and changing but it shouldn't take long. I couldn't find any way to do it all at once. I attached a screenshot with the relevant stuff highlighted.

    Have you unlocked the worksheets to all editing?

    From the intro page:
    "Worksheet protection

    As it stands, only limited sections of this spreadsheet can be edited.
    This is to prevent key formulas from being accidentally overwritten.
    To unlock a worksheet, go to that worksheet and select Tools -> Protection -> Unprotect Sheet
    The password to unlock each worksheet is sport"
