Why most tracking fails
People track results. Results are the one part you don't control — and a column of wins and losses tells you nothing about why the money left.
This sheet tracks the decision instead. You write the reason for the bet before you know how it turned out, and you flag your emotional state honestly. A month later the sheet can tell you something no results-tracker ever could: exactly what your worst habits cost you, in dollars.
What it does for you
Auto unitsEnter a stake, the sheet converts it to units off your own rule. No mental math at 1 a.m.
The Why columnWritten BEFORE you know the result. This is the column that turns a log into a mirror.
Chased-bet costEvery bet you flagged, totalled in dollars. Most people have never seen this number.
Calm vs. hotYour P/L when calm, side by side with your P/L when tilted. The comparison does the arguing.
Running bankrollUpdates itself after every settled bet, with worst-drawdown tracked.
Monthly reviewFour scorecards, your bankroll curve, and your donor patterns — in five minutes.

Complicated — complexity is why people quit tracking
30-day, no-questions refund. Log one honest month. If it doesn't show you something about yourself, you pay nothing. Email support@stopdonating.com and it\'s done.
Works on phone, tablet, computer · no subscription, no account
Both ledgers — Sports and Stocks & Crypto — are included free with the $97 book.
No. It opens in Google Sheets (recommended — free, on phone and computer) or Excel. Apple Numbers is not supported: it breaks the dropdowns and the red-flag highlighting.
Will this tell me what to bet?
No. It shows you what you already did, honestly. That's the part nobody else will show you.
What if I've never tracked before?
Then this is the highest-value thing you can do. Fill in three cells on the Start Here tab and log your next bet — that's the whole setup.
Sports and markets — do I need both?
Only if you do both. They're sold separately, and both come free with the book.
