I have made a couple articles on Posting Bets on Steemit [Part 1 & Part 2] and will continue on this topic by clearly explaining how everyone who posts bets can use Tables which is a very clean and reader friendly way to do it. This post will be used as an effective way to explain new SBC members in the future how making tables works...
To post bets in a table format, you just need to understand a small bit of easy code on how it's done. It can be a bit confusing at first but once you get a hang of it, it's actually very intuitive. Table have Columns and Rows, they can be done in any configuration. The basic configuartion is 2x2 (2 columns and 2 rows), the code to do its is...

When you copy the code and paste it into your steemit post or a comment (always make sure there is no text directly above the code) you will see the Table Layout in the preview.
All the word can be adjusted to anything you want but the 2nd row of code always needs to be - for each Column followed by a | so -|- for 2 columns, -|-|- for 3 columns, -|-|-|- for 4 colmums and so on... there can be as many rows added depending on how many your need.
So a 4x3 table (4 columns & 3 rows) looks like this...

By The end of the month (or week) all bets are lined up nicely so overall stats can be easily made and copy pasted into a monthly results post. That table can be used to show a complete results history month by month. The text of the mont can be turned into a hyperlink to the post that contain the entire months results overview ...

| Total | 43 | 21 | 19 | 3 | 43 | +0.85 | +1.97% |
This basic way of posting bets is very effective because it does not require a lot of time and is very clear towards potential readers and followers at the same time.
