Tracking Your Bets
What to record, which metrics actually matter (ROI, CLV, units), and why disciplined tracking is what turns a bettor into a winner.
If you don't track your bets, you're guessing. Bet tracking turns vague impressions ("I think I'm up") into hard numbers that tell you what's working, what isn't, and whether you have a real edge.
What to record
- The date, sport, market, and selection.
- The book and the odds you took.
- Your stake (in units and dollars).
- The result (win/loss/push) and profit.
- The closing line for that market, so you can measure CLV.
The metrics that matter
- ROI - profit divided by total staked. The headline measure of profitability.
- Units won/lost - results independent of bankroll size.
- CLV - whether you beat the closing line, the best early indicator of a real edge.
- Record by sport/market - reveals where your edge actually lives.
Let the tool do it
