I play poker with my friends, sometime I win, sometime I loss, there are couple ways to track the win/loss but I feel all have there limitations. Hence I'm looking for suggestion here.
Let's say I played poker on May-1st and May-2nd, both with $200 buy-in. On May-1st I won $50, On May-2nd I lost $30 1. Everything poker related count as *Income* Above events will be tracked as: 2023-05-01 * Poker Assets:Cash $50 Income:Poker 2023-05-02 * Poker Assets:Cash -$30 Income:Poker Pro: I can easily know how much in total I win/loss in poker by running `ledger bal Poker` Con: Lossing in poker technically is not an `income` (or is it? I don't know for sure) 2. If I win, then it's income, if I loss, it's expense Above events will be tracked as: 2023-05-01 * Poker Assets:Cash $50 Income:Poker 2023-05-02 * Poker Assets:Cash -$30 Expense:Poker Pro: I guess it's clearer? Con: No single account tracks the win/loss of Poker 3. Buy-in as expense, result as income Above events will be tracked as: 2023-05-01 * Poker Buyin Assets:Cash $-200 Expense:Poker:Buy-in 2023-05-01 * Poker result Assets:Cash $250 Income:Poker 2023-05-02 * Poker Buyin Assets:Cash $-200 Expense:Poker:Buy-in 2023-05-02 * Poker result Assets:Cash $170 Income:Poker Pro: I guess it's clearer? Con: No single account tracks the win/loss of Poker, more tedious I feel like there must be a more accurate way of tracking these...looking for suggestions here many thanks! -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
