So I travel a decent amount with my job (I am in 20 degree philadelphia right now instead of 75 degree los angeles, brrr). I read a lot of books when I travel. Have read a few on handicapping the last few months.

One of the common themes in these books is that successful handicapers track what they bet.

I was wondering how people do this? I have tried with little success in the past year or so as I miss whole days when I go physically to the racetrack. Do you use spreadsheet like excel, a database, handwritten, etc.?

I really want to be able to analyze my wagers by track, date, wager type (i.e. - win bets vs. exactas vs. pick3s,) to get my own personal ROIs based on those bets. I think this would allow me to analyze each bet type and determine where my bankroll should be going.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!
Jim
