Well .. as the year is over, am seeing a lot of threads on twitter by content creators (especially poker).
These are the photos from @AllinPav - a content creator for Upswing Poker
In a nutshell, he lost on the year, but what I take most from this, is the level of detail he goes to in recording everything.
Its a good habit.
I now just record daily wins/losses, and dont analyse the activity as much as I probably should.

I'm knocked out by the fact that he decided to publish his losses!megarain wrote: ↑Sat Dec 31, 2022 4:51 pmWell .. as the year is over, am seeing a lot of threads on twitter by content creators (especially poker).

I keep accounts by market in an Access database, though it's just as easily done with Excel. There's no limit to the queries you can produce, but I've always been fascinated as to why people like fancy graphs, pie charts and colours. Just plain old boring black-and-white figures does it for me, as long as it's in the green.
Yeah, think it's pretty genuine to publish etc.
Wish the so-called expert Betfair traders would do likewise (even if not broken down by sport/manual/automation etc).
I suppose it's unrealistic - I could be persuaded to publish, but not for free. I just don't sell anything, so don't see the upside.

My master spreadsheet is on its 65,448th row. Almost 4 years of full-time trading race by race; a breakdown of the bets placed, where the money has come from and gone, plus notes on exceptional events. With this much data it's fascinating to pull data out into pivots and track trends over time.
99.99% of the people that claim to be experts are just selling stuff and actually have really poor track records. Which is why they will never publish.
Publishing would only be useful if everybody did it. Then people would get a true feel for where they sit, a sort of hendon mob list.
But even they you could claim results were skewed by various things. I don't know what they answer is.

I've never had a spreadsheet that big.
