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

For the past several years I've done the same excel spreadsheet as Georgiagambler but this year started off reckless for me and I lost too much money than I cared to remember by March so I stopped keeping track, lol. So now I have no idea how much money I've lost so far this year and honestly, I really don't want to know...I know it's bad. I'm hoping to win a big, fat HP sometime soon to make up for all my losses.
