Does anyone keep a gambling log?

[Georgiagambler]

I keep basic tracking on Excel spreadsheet. I put the casino, destination such as Las Vegas - V/P & Caesars, I include date range 4/22-4/26 and net loss or net win. I also have a separate tab in the spreadsheet with a list of handpays with the date, casino and amount.

I don't detail all of the machines I play etc.

I started tracking a couple years ago, not really for IRS but it was an eye opener for me to see how much I was losing at the casino for my entertainment expenses :-)

It has really helped me to cut back or at least be more aware of where I am. Using excel is nice because I can use auto sum to calculate for me.

I wonder if we can submit our Trip Reports from the forum as proof for the IRS HHH
