What you can review
A result is useful.
A record is better.
Closing line value & calibration
Compare the odds you took with the closing odds using the CLV tracker. Log fair odds before the event, then review calibration buckets and Brier score. Useful evidence, not a certificate of skill.
What is at risk?
Track deposits, withdrawals, bookmaker balances and pending bets. Use fractional Kelly with your own probability estimate and bankroll.

Before you buy
The practical questions.
Do I need to know spreadsheet formulas?
No. Enter bets in the input columns; calculations are already in place. The guide shows which cells to edit and which to leave alone. Keep an untouched backup.
Can I filter away settled bets?
Yes. Focus on pending bets in the Bets tab while the P&L chart keeps the full history. Filtering is different from deleting a bet, which removes it from your record.
Does it handle lay bets and partial results?
Yes: wins, losses, refunds, half-wins and half-losses, plus lay liability and per-bet commission. Check your bookmaker's settlement rules. Net commission across a whole market may need an adjustment instead of treating every bet separately.
How many bets can I enter?
More than 7,000 prepared rows. Inserting an empty row does not automatically create formulas. Use the prepared rows and follow the guide before extending the workbook or moving parts of a row.
Will the numbers prove I have an edge?
No. Profit, CLV and calibration measure different things. Small or correlated samples can mislead. These are tools for investigating your record, not a guarantee that future bets will be profitable.
Google Sheets or Excel?
Google Sheets on a laptop or desktop is the primary workflow. No Excel file is included. You can export your own copy as .xlsx; the optional PDF guide explains checks and chart rebuilding. Excel compatibility is not guaranteed.
Is there a subscription? Can I get help?
No subscription. $49.99 buys a personal-use copy. Start with the setup guide and self-help material. To report a bug, email bill@projectbenter.com with the affected cell and an example. Do not send account credentials.
