What’s your spreadsheet skills like? Have you thought to mix Baccarat and Excel yet? I’m a big fan of spreadsheets, data, reporting and good record keeping something I realized it's importance after taking some stock trading courses. Traders use them all the time to track and measure their success. The great thing about utilizing spreadsheets for gambling is it provides you with insights you wouldn’t have known otherwise. We all have a tendon to remember the last thing on our mind. I am a firm believer if you don't know where you've been, you’ll have a hard time knowing where you’re going. If you don't do it you just keep going around in circles.
Numbers Don’t Lie
The great thing about doing this is it’s factual, unbiased and true. Facts don’t lie and it’s there, in your face black & white. It forces you to confront areas you didn’t want to before because it’s easier to ignore them. Let’s say you start record keeping your Baccarat shoes in an excel spreadsheets and you find out over a year that you lose money on Saturday nights. This may be painful to you because you’re you have worked all week and you looking forward to playing a few shoes of Baccarat. What will you do with this information? Will you stop playing that game Saturday nights or not? Spreadsheets are great in this way as it’s not anecdotal or hear say information, it will provide useful, relevant facts.
Garbage in Garbage out
If you are keen to start having Baccarat excel spreadsheet, there are some rules you need to adhere to, otherwise it’s a pointless activity. You may have heard the saying that reporting can be only as good as the accuracy of the data input i.e. if you put garbage in, you’ll get garbage out. Here are some basic fundamental rules if you are considering a CheatSheet excel spreadsheet.
1. Enter data accurately
2. Don’t get too excited or too downbeat by short-term results
3. Don’t keep cancelling and starting again
4. Stick with it
I appreciate not everyone is an excel wizard. Perhaps you’re interested in improving your record keeping, monitoring your win rate and finding out your “niche” in Baccarat but don’t have the skills to create spreadsheets. Fortunately, I’ve been doing it for some time and I can help you. I've used Spreadsheets to improve my play and develop a CheatSheets. It’s a fantastic way to track performance on a regular basis.
