For spreadsheet trackers ready to switch

What a spreadsheet already does well

A spreadsheet gives you direct control over columns and formulas. If you consistently record dates, stakes, hours and results, it can remain a useful source of truth. The difficulty is keeping entry and formulas consistent when the file grows, particularly if costs or currencies vary.

Overshove's live Account screen offers session spreadsheet import and sessions CSV export. The precise mapping and completeness of a particular sheet have not been verified here. Try a few representative rows first, compare session count, dates, hours and totals against the original, and keep your sheet as a backup. Do not assume that notes, formulas or every custom field will transfer.

A safe way to test the switch

Start with a few sessions from different stakes and venues, including any rebuys or unusual costs in your sheet. Import those rows and compare them with the sessions list in Overshove. Check the number of sessions, total hours and result before considering a larger import.

Then log a new session directly in the web app and see whether the current Home, Sessions, Log and Stats views answer the questions you ask most often. The dedicated Study, Leaks and Variance intelligence modules are marked Soon. A spreadsheet may remain the right place for custom hand-review fields today.

The same 40 hours on two stated cost bases

Take a synthetic month: eight five-hour sessions at £1/£2, 40 table hours. All buy-ins total £2,400 and cash-outs total £2,880, so the table result is +£480: £12 per table hour and 6 BB/hr. Pot rake and payments from the stack are already included.

Assume £6 of tips per session, £48 total, was paid from the stack. Record it as a breakdown if useful, but do not deduct it again. For an additional mileage allocation, assume eight 30-mile round trips valued at £0.45 a mile: £13.50 each, £108 total, with none already in the ledger. Profit after that allocation is £372: £9.30 per table hour and 4.65 BB/hr. The mileage rate is a synthetic costing assumption, not actual cash spending or an allowable tax rate.

For sample context, assume 27 hands per hour and a standard deviation of 100 BB per 100-hand block. Forty hours is about 1,080 hands; one standard deviation of total table results is about 329 BB, or £658 at £1/£2. Those inputs are assumed, not measured in Overshove. The result alone is not a verdict about skill.

Keep a copy of your data

The current Account screen offers a sessions CSV export. Export a copy periodically and compare it with the sessions list, especially after importing an older spreadsheet. Bankroll import and export controls also appear there, but a session export should not be assumed to contain every custom field from your original sheet.

Overshove's core tracker is available on the web. The old Windows desktop version is retired. For now, compare the live log and Stats view with your sheet and use whichever record you can maintain consistently.
