Bet tracker comparison
Am I Up vs Bet Diary
Honest side-by-side. Bet Diary is a UK-focused manual bet tracker with a long horse-racing lineage. Am I Up is AI-first, multi-sport, and free. Which one fits depends on what you actually bet on.
TL;DR
Both are bet trackers. Bet Diary is a mature UK product built around manual entry and racing coverage. Am I Up is new and built around one wedge: the AI reads your bets so you never type them by hand.
| Am I Up | Bet Diary | |
|---|---|---|
| Data entry | AI paste (text + screenshots) | Manual typing |
| Analytics depth | Equity, yield, ROC, CLV, max DD, breakdowns | P/L, win rate, ROI |
| CLV vs Pinnacle close | First-class metric | Not surfaced |
| Public profile | Free, shareable URL with OG card | No public profile |
| UK horse racing depth | Covered (each-way, NR, ante-post, R4) | Deep UK racing focus, long lineage |
| Age / maturity | New (2026) | Established UK userbase |
| Price | Free, no card | Free tier + paid |
| Export | Full CSV, one click | CSV export available |

Where Am I Up wins
- You stop typing bets in.The single biggest friction point of any bet tracker is the data- entry tax. Am I Up’s AI reads text, X posts, Telegram screenshots, bookmaker bet slips, even pictures from your phone. Drop anything in, it extracts every bet, you commit in one click. Bet Diary is manual entry only.
- CLV vs Pinnacle is first-class.Closing line value is the truest available signal that a punter has a real edge. Am I Up puts it on every bet, every profile, every KPI card. Bet Diary’s analytics stack tops out at P/L, win rate, and ROI, all of which are noisy in small samples.
- Public profile is free. Every account gets a shareable
amiup.io/u/yourhandleprofile. Lifetime P/L, equity curve, sample size, KPI grid. Drop the link in your X bio and have receipts. Bet Diary does not offer a shareable public profile. - Multi-sport by default.Soccer, tennis, basketball, baseball, and horse racing are all first- class today with sport-specific market parsing (NBA player props, MLB strikeout / total-base props, horse racing forecast / tricast, and famous race + jockey + trainer recognition). Bet Diary’s core focus is UK racing.
- Screenshot input is real. Take a picture of your bet slip. Drop it in. Done. Bet Diary requires you to transcribe the slip yourself.
Where Bet Diary wins
- UK horse racing focus. Bet Diary has spent years serving a UK racing audience. If ninety percent of your action is UK racing and you like the comfort of a tool built specifically for that lane, Bet Diary is a reasonable pick.
- Established UK userbase. If community and long-tenure matter to you, Bet Diary has been running for years. Am I Up is 2026-vintage and still early.
- Familiarity.If you have been using Bet Diary for a long time and everything about it is muscle memory, moving to a new tool is a real switching cost. Am I Up’s CSV import removes most of that friction but not all of it.
Who should pick which
- You bet 5-10+ times a week and hate the data entry
- You bet across multiple sports, not just racing
- You want CLV vs Pinnacle as a headline metric, not an afterthought
- You want a shareable public profile for free
- You log via screenshots, X posts, or Telegram tips
- You are OK with a young tool that ships fixes fast
- Nearly all your action is UK horse racing and you want a tool tuned for that
- You prefer a long-established platform over a new entrant
- You are already comfortable with manual entry and it is not a friction point for you
- You do not care about CLV as a primary edge metric
Honest take from the Am I Up team: if UK racing is your whole world and manual entry doesn’t bother you, Bet Diary is fine. We built Am I Up because we wanted the specific wedge of zero data entry and CLV as a first-class metric. If those two hit, this is the better tool for you.
Frequently asked questions
Is Am I Up free?
Yes. Fully free with no credit card. Every feature on the site is included in the free tier: AI paste-and-parse, CLV vs Pinnacle, equity curve, public shareable profile, CSV export, unlimited books, unlimited bets. Paid tiers may come later for advanced features (bookmaker auto-capture, Pinnacle close automation) but the core tracker stays free.
Can I import my existing Bet Diary history?
Yes. Export your bets from Bet Diary as a CSV, then drop the file into Am I Up's import page. The AI reads the columns and maps them onto our schema. Most users get their entire history in within about five minutes, no manual re-entry.
Does Am I Up handle horse racing as well as Bet Diary?
It handles the core markets first-class: win, each-way, non-runner / Rule 4, forecast / tricast / exacta, ante-post, going state, race class. The sport classifier recognises famous races (Gold Cup, Grand National, Kentucky Derby, Royal Ascot), racecourses, horses, jockeys, and trainers. Bet Diary's edge here is its multi-year UK-racing focus and audience familiarity. If UK racing is 90 percent of your action, Bet Diary is worth a look; if it's part of a wider portfolio, Am I Up covers it well alongside soccer, tennis, basketball, and baseball.
What about tracking CLV against Pinnacle?
Am I Up treats closing-line value as a first-class metric. Every bet has a CLV field, every profile shows lifetime CLV alongside yield and win rate. You currently enter the Pinnacle close manually; auto-capture is in build. Bet Diary does not surface CLV as a first-class metric.
Is my data private?
Yes. Individual bets are never shown publicly. Your public profile (if you turn it on) shows aggregate stats only: lifetime P/L, equity curve, KPI grid, sample size. Strangers cannot see what you are about to bet on next. Pending bets stay private by design.
Can I take my data out if I stop using Am I Up?
Yes. Full CSV export of every bet from Settings, any time, no cost. Your data is yours. If you migrate elsewhere, the export includes every field the app knows about, ready to re-import.
