Helper for using multiple books, any out there?

I posted this at therx.com also trying to find an answer.

I'm preparing for the upcoming football season where I usually lose my butt. But anyway, I have a question about using multiple sportsbooks.

Is there a service where I could see all my bets at different books all in one place? I think there is some arb software that can do it for like $150 a month, but I don't really want it that bad.

I guess for that to be possible, I'd have to give some program/web script or whatever my username and password to each sportsbook. At most books I play, you can withdraw money with that info, so that wouldn't be a problem would it?

I'd pay $5-10 a month for a service that could track all my bets, balances, wins/losses, etc for different books. It gets to be a pain logging into 5 different books trying to track everything.

Anyone else feel this way?

Is there already a service for this?

It doesn't take long recording balances/bets into excel.

I can scratch my bets down on a piece of paper. And I can even calculate how much I've won or lost.

But the issue I sometimes have is with how much money I have at each site.

Well, I won $50 here, lost $200 here, now my balances at each place are xxxxx. That info could come in handy when it's time to make the second round of bets.

Someone said wagerstation (?) is $20 a month and it tracks all your bets for you. $20 is a little more than I'd like to pay. Anyone used this software?

With a little work, you can set up Excel to do this for you. The more time you put into this, the more features you can add.

You can even set it so when you key in the wining/losing teams, it will update your balances (pending and available)

If you really want to do even more, you can use Access.

If you put in a little work, you can save some cash and build a system to meet your specific needs. Also, you don't take on the risk of having some shadey software tracking your passwords and balances. Wouldn't it suck if the software you bought actually was designed to sent your cash to some Russian gangster?
