Formdial Bet Log — US Edition

Description

The horseplayer’s ledger, built in Excel

A seriously engineered bet-tracking workbook in the Formdial style, built for US racing. Log a ticket in a few quick cells — win, place, show, across-the-board, and every exotic (exacta, trifecta, superfecta, daily double, Pick 3/4). Because it’s pari-mutuel, you enter the payout you collected and the sheet books it, runs your bankroll on every row, and flags a likely W‑2G for you.

Odds your way

Record the price however you saw it — American (+150 / −200), tote (5‑2 or 9‑5), or decimal. The sheet reads all three, so your By‑Odds‑Range breakdown and average winning odds just work. Stake in dollars or units — one switch flips every label, the math is identical.

A full analytics suite, not just a dashboard

Net profit, ROI, strike rate, average winning odds and a By‑Odds‑Range table — favorites win about a third of US races, so you can see whether your money knows that. All formula-driven: it updates the moment you log a ticket. Beyond the dashboard, the analysis sheets read your whole log live — Tracks maps your record at every track by surface (dirt / turf / synthetic); Trainers and Jockeys keep a book of the names you back, best and worst five ranked by P/L, automatically; and a Ticket Math helper sizes your exotic bases and boxes.

Built to be lived in

Dropdowns for tracks (the major US ovals seeded), surfaces, conditions, bet types and classes (MCL to G1) — every list editable, and you can always just type. Formula cells are protected so a stray keystroke can’t break the math (no password — it’s your file). Works in Excel 2010 or newer and LibreOffice.
