Excel Sports Bet Tracking Spreadsheet Updated

I've updated the Sports Bet Tracking spreadsheet template with some of the features you've been requesting! The upgrades include:

American or Decimal Odds

Choose between American or Decimal odds by using a drop down list on the first sheet. All bets need to use the same odds type and you shouldn't change it once set. 


What's the difference between American and Decimal odds?

Decimal odds (European odds) represent the potential return of a bet, including the original stake, as a multiple of the stake. The odds are presented as a single number, usually with two decimal places. Example: 2.5

American odds, also known as moneyline odds, are a popular format for expressing the likelihood of a particular outcome in sports betting, especially in the United States. American odds can be positive or negative numbers and indicate how much profit a bettor would make on a $100 wager if the bet is successful. They provide a straightforward way for bettors to understand the potential profit or risk associated with a particular bet. Example: -205, +155

Change to Macro Enabled Worksheet

The format of the bet tracking spreadsheet has been changed from .xlsx to .xlsm as I've added a few simple macros.


Click the "Add New Bet" button to input a new bet. Previously you had to scroll to the bottom of the Bet Tracker sheet to add a new bet and potentially drag down all formulas to track the stats. Now the newest bet will always be at the top and you won't have to manually manipulate any formulas.

If you want to clear all your bets there is a button that will do that but be careful - the action cannot be undone.

I don't think macros will work on MAC/iOS/APPLE devices, so you might have to manually drag down the formulas.

Cash Out and Voided Bets can now be tracked

The ability to Cash Out has also been added as well as void or push bets can now be tracked. If you cash out, enter the value you cashed out for in column K, otherwise leave column K blank. If you want to track void or cancelled bets you can select Void from the drop down then delete your wager amount and leave it blank since you get that money back.

How to Transfer Information From Old Versions

In the Bet Tracker sheet, I think columns A through K should be the same so you can copy and paste those, then drag down the formulas in row 2 for columns M-Y.


Let me know what you think about the improvements to the Sports Bet Tracking Spreadsheet in the comments below! And as always, I valuable your feedback if you have ideas for even more improvements.
