Pikkit is good. Just not for everyone.
Pikkit has built a genuinely solid product. The interface is clean, the unit-tracking features are thoughtful, and if you enjoy following other bettors and sharing your picks publicly, it delivers. For a certain type of bettor — recreational, social, US-regulated books — it checks a lot of boxes.
But a meaningful segment of bettors finds Pikkit frustrating, not because the app is broken, but because it was built for a different use case. If you're a serious bettor who already manages a betting log in Google Sheets or Excel, Pikkit doesn't slot into that workflow at all. Your data stays locked inside Pikkit's ecosystem. There's no spreadsheet export. And the social architecture means your bet history is never fully private.
That's the gap S2S Bets was built to fill. It's the only tracker that takes a screenshot of any bet slip and automatically writes the data — sport, bet type, odds, stake, result — directly into your spreadsheet. No manual entry, no social feed, no dashboards. Just your bets, in a file you own.
What Pikkit does well
Give credit where it's due. Pikkit has real strengths:
- Social feed and community. Pikkit's core feature is following other bettors and sharing your own picks. If you like accountability-through-publicity or want to discover other handicappers, this is genuinely useful.
- Unit tracking and leaderboards. Pikkit tracks performance in units, which is a clean way to compare bettors across different bankroll sizes. The leaderboard creates competitive motivation for some users.
- Polished mobile interface. The app is well-designed and easy to navigate. Adding bets is quick once you're in the habit.
- Performance analytics. Pikkit shows win rate, ROI by sport, and bet type breakdowns in a visual format that's easy to read at a glance.
If community engagement is part of why you bet, Pikkit does that better than anything else available right now.
Where Pikkit falls short
The same social architecture that makes Pikkit great for community bettors creates real problems for anyone with different priorities:
No spreadsheet export
This is the biggest gap. Pikkit has no native Google Sheets or Excel export. Your bet history lives in Pikkit's app and database — not in a file you control. Serious bettors who want to run their own models, calculate closing line value, or track bankroll curves across years need their data in a spreadsheet. With Pikkit, you're either doing double-entry or you're going without. Learn more about how to track sports bets effectively using a spreadsheet-first approach.
Social-first means semi-public by default
Pikkit is architected around sharing. Even with privacy settings adjusted, the fundamental design assumes your picks might be seen by others. For professional or semi-professional bettors who don't want to tip off their edge — or who simply value privacy — this is a structural problem, not a settings problem.
Limited offshore sportsbook support
Pikkit's integrations are built primarily around regulated US sportsbooks. If you bet on Bovada, BetOnline, MyBookie, or any other offshore book, you'll hit walls — manual entry, unsupported formats, or missing features. This is a real problem for US bettors who have been using offshore books for years. S2S Bets handles offshore bet tracking natively because it works from screenshots rather than API connections.
Your data is in their ecosystem
Long-term, keeping your betting history in any single app's database is a risk. Apps shut down. Pricing changes. Formats change. A bettor who has five years of history in Google Sheets owns that data forever. A bettor whose history lives in Pikkit is one policy change away from losing access to it.
Who should use S2S Bets instead
S2S Bets is purpose-built for a specific bettor profile — one that Pikkit doesn't serve well:
- Bettors who already live in spreadsheets. If your first instinct is to open Excel or Sheets when you want to analyze your results, you need a tracker that feeds data into those tools — not one that tries to replace them. S2S Bets is the best bet tracker for spreadsheet users because it's the only one that writes to your spreadsheet automatically.
- Offshore bettors. Bovada, BetOnline, MyBookie, and dozens of other offshore books are fully supported. If you place even one bet per week on an offshore book, most other trackers will create friction. S2S Bets handles them all the same way: screenshot in, spreadsheet row out.
- Privacy-first bettors. Your bets go into your spreadsheet. Nobody else sees them. There's no social feed, no leaderboard, no public profile. Your edge stays yours.
- Bettors who hate manual entry. Taking a screenshot takes two seconds. Manual entry takes a minute and introduces errors. S2S Bets eliminates the data entry step entirely — the app reads the screenshot and does the work.
- Serious handicappers building long-term records. A Google Sheets workbook you've maintained for years is an asset. It goes with you wherever you go, works in any analysis tool, and doesn't disappear if an app changes its business model. S2S Bets keeps that record growing without manual effort.

Choose Pikkit if… / Choose S2S Bets if…
Choose Pikkit if:
- You want a social feed — following other bettors, sharing your picks, and competing on leaderboards is a feature you'll actually use.
- You bet exclusively on regulated US sportsbooks (DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, etc.) and don't need offshore support.
- You're comfortable keeping your bet history inside Pikkit's ecosystem and don't need it in a spreadsheet for further analysis.
Choose S2S Bets if:
- You want your bets in Google Sheets or Excel — not a third-party dashboard — so you can run your own analysis, build your own models, or just keep records the way you prefer.
- You bet offshore (Bovada, BetOnline, MyBookie, and others) and need a tracker that actually supports those books without manual workarounds.
- Privacy matters to you — you don't want your betting activity visible to anyone else, and you want data that belongs to you permanently, in a file format that will exist in 20 years regardless of what any app company does.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. Pikkit keeps your bet history inside its own app and social ecosystem. There is no native Google Sheets or Excel export. If you want your bets in a spreadsheet, you need a different tool — or to copy entries manually row by row. S2S Bets was built specifically to solve this: screenshot a bet slip and it writes directly to your spreadsheet.
-
Pikkit's support for offshore books is limited. Its core features — social feed, leaderboards, tracking integrations — are built around regulated US sportsbooks like DraftKings and FanDuel. S2S Bets works with every sportsbook, including all major offshore books, because it reads screenshots rather than relying on API connections that offshore books don't provide.
-
Pikkit is fundamentally a social app. While you can adjust some privacy settings, the architecture is designed around sharing picks and following other bettors. Even with privacy settings tightened, your data still lives in Pikkit's database rather than a file you control. If you want your betting data completely private — in a spreadsheet you own — Pikkit isn't the right fit. With S2S Bets, your data goes directly into your own Google Sheets or Excel file. Nobody else has access.
-
S2S Bets is the only bet tracker that automatically converts sportsbook screenshots into spreadsheet rows. Take a screenshot of any bet slip — on any sportsbook — and the app parses it and writes the data (sport, bet type, odds, stake, result, and more) directly to your Google Sheets or Excel workbook. No manual entry. No social feed. No data locked in someone else's app. It's currently free to join during the beta.
-
Most bet trackers — including Pikkit — require you to manually enter bet details after placing each wager. That means typing in the sport, teams, bet type, odds, and stake every time. S2S Bets eliminates this entirely. You take a screenshot of your bet slip and the app does the reading and writing for you. Over hundreds of bets per month, that's a significant time saving and removes a common source of data entry errors.
