Speaking of tracking, I used to use an awesome site called bettingmetrics but I think they closed down. It was very automated and offered good data and analytics.

I know similar can be done with a spreadsheet, but does anyone have any good sites/app? I'm a fan of less manual processes so if I can avoid putting in 20 odd bets and then 20 odd results a week into an excel doc manually I'm all ears as to what people use.

Nothin better than the old spready imo. I've got super detailed bet descriptions which enables me to focus on what I'm doing well. I'm still adjusting staking etc based on some of this.

15k is nowhere near enough if you have nothing to fall back on
You go on a bad run you will lose confidence and start being too cautious.

This is so true, I'll lose a 5u bet, then get a bit cautious and go back to 1u bets, win the next 4 then lose the 5th that I'd bumped up to 5u....

It's very hard to hold your nerve when your losing money, and yes it's why you need a big bankroll to account for variance and bad streaks, but holding your nerve is still mentally challenging when you see the dollars leaving your account.

You shouldn’t be changing your staking in the short term whether things are going good or bad and to be honest your staking should never be going down unless you have good reason to think you have been whacked very hard by the variance stick. If you find yourself lowering your stakes then typically either your initial staking strategy was garbage or you just have no edge so makes no difference anyway

Not much for Aussie sports. Betstamp is what you're looking for but has only the main overseas stuff.

If it's only 20 bets then you should be able to find the time to do it yourself.
Even if record your bets on your phone as you do it it'll make manually doing them each week a much faster process.
