With over 50 (and counting) different legal sportsbooks in the United States, sports bettors have more options than ever on where to place their wagers. With more platforms comes more need for organization and diligent bet tracking to keep track of your bets live and to make sure you are betting within your limits. Gone are the days of manually tracking each individual bet and comparing odds through a spreadsheet — apps like Pikkit have made it dead simple to automatically sync your accounts and track your bets. Here are some things to look for when choosing your bet tracker.
1. Bet syncing capabilities
The reason why most people don’t track their bets is that it used to require a lot of time and discipline to accurately maintain manual records of hundreds or thousands of bets. The emergence of syncing technology has changed the bet tracking experience for good. Users can now connect their sportsbook accounts to apps like Pikkit and the app does the rest of the dirty work — Pikkit, for example, fetches all available bet history and instantly delivers valuable personal betting analytics, graphs and insights to help you keep track of your performance and improve as a sports bettor.
2. Number of supported sportsbooks
If you have joined a new sportsbook recently or have been using multiple books for a while, it's important to make sure the bet tracker you choose currently supports or will support your desired sportsbooks in the near future. If your tracking app doesn’t support a sportsbook you use, you’ll have to resort to manual tracking (which is time-consuming) or risk missing out on valuable betting insights because all your bets are not being tracked. Currently, Pikkit supports 20 legal sportsbooks in the United States, with more being added weekly. See the full list here!
3. Overall record and monthly trends
Arguably the most important feature of a sports bet tracker is, keeping track of your overall performance and being able to compare them from week to week and month to month. This is crucial to becoming a better and smarter bettor. Whether you have just made your first bet or want to show off your track record from the past year, use Pikkit to automatically keep track of your betting performance.
4. Line Shopping
Hitting a bet is always a great feeling. However, it'd be a much better feeling knowing that you had the best odds available when placing your bet. Due to the variance in user activity across different sportsbooks, the odds that are offered on the same outcomes also vary. Shopping around for the best odds is by far the easiest way to increase your chances of long-term profitability. This used to be a very laborious process, where bettors had to log into individual sportsbooks to check the odds for a particular bet. Pikkit has built Kayak-like line-shopping tools that aggregate all the odds in one place, so line-shopping can be as simple as possible.
5. Active user activity
Whether you prefer to tail or fade the public, you want to have clear insight into what other people are betting on. Ideally, this looks like a breakdown of the general consensus on any upcoming game, including the total handle, number of bets, split of moneylines spreads, and totals as well as any player props, futures, and popular parlays.
6. Easy event exploration
Not sure what to bet on next? Being able to explore popular games coming up and see what users are betting on can help you make better-informed decisions on your next big home-run play. With Pikkit, explore upcoming games across multiple leagues and see the number of bets being placed by the community on each game.
7. Overall record and monthly trends
Arguably the most important feature of a sports be tracker, keeping track of your overall performance and being able to compare them from week to week and month to month is crucial to becoming a better and smarter bettor. Whether you have just made your first bet or want to show off your track record from the past year, use Pikkit to automatically keep track of your betting performance.
8. Social Capabilities
Chances are that you already talk to your friends about the bets you are making. Now, there's a way to show the bets you are making and see their up-to-date bets without interacting with them at all (I mean, I wouldn't want to talk to my friends either). Make sure to pick a bet tracking platform with integrated social features to better engage with your friend groups and spark your latest betting conversation.
