Do you have a habit of tracking your gambling progress?

For people who gamble to enjoy their their time, I don't think such progress tracking or things like this even come in their mind, but for a professional gambling it certainly can help. Are you proposing any spreadsheet or a common tool?

No. I don't.
I believe it does not make much sense to track ones losses or winning when comes to gambling. Because, as we all know, casinos will always win over the gamblers in the long term, so as soon as loses start to accumulate then that tracking will encourage us to go after those losses to improve our statistics.
On the other hand, I believe there is nothing wrong to keep track of our complete wager of accumulated wager, for the purpose of comparing our tier in the VIP program of the casino with the bonuses and rewards we get on there. For example, if he gambled for a whole month three times a week and then by the end of the same month we received a bonus of 20$, some could argue that is okey or according to our range within the casino, however it takes a look at the complete wager of that month to know whether it is a fair amount of not. It is not the same receiving a 20$ bonus on a casino when one wagered 500$ than receiving the same bonus after wagering 2000$.

Another situation where one would like to keep track of wins and losses could be whether one needs to calculate taxes on that money lost/won. In the case of the United States and other republics, if one has lost enough to the casino, one could apply to a tax deduction.

Anyways, good luck to all reading this and remember gambling is not supposed to be about making money. Good luck, regardless.

Gambling is for fun not tracking progress to be profitable because for me this I will never do because know in gambling don't think about this except just fun.

When you have a habit like this then you have a mindset to be profitable not in gambling because it is always looking from progress whereas many gamblers do not do this except just luck and also bet on fun.

I don't do that, because there is no point.

I don’t gamble with large amount so I don’t find it necessary to do something of such nature, and even if I use huge amount I still won’t check my progress unless I wish to stop my gambling activities forever -because once I check and see the huge amount that’s my total lost I’ll be forced to put an end to it so to avoid something like that the best way is to avoid checking.

What about you op? Is there a reason you asked this question? Because I believe there’s a motive behind this your thread aside from the fact that you want to know if majority are into it or not - seems like you have a personal relationship with the question.

the only progress i can track is that i don't play casino games anymore if this is what you mean. if that is not what you mean then i have no progress.

if you mean tracking the progress in comparing how you are now and what you have learned since the time you started,  you may be able to compare only especially if you started gambling right when you came into crypto. if you realize lost more money than winning i guess that's progress still depending on what you would do after t finding out. after that series of addiction threads in the forum, i think we can evaluate ourselves already. it never stops.

The only thing that do track when i do gamble is on the money that i have been spending and the rest would really be just that totally just normal on which i would really be playing up
without having  those kind of mindful thinking on how much i have won or lost as long my gambling fund or capital isnt depleted out on such session then i would really be just that fine.
When it comes to stats or whatsoever then im not really that too mindful. Just like been said that as long i found myself that enjoying and having some fun then this is what i do mind on.
Making yourself that being too watchful specially on winning side will really just that make you desperate and just that make you too pushy on things.

The question is to answer which part of the divide you are whether you belong to the group of gambling fun players or those who agreed playing for profit  ;D

So if you are playing for the profit then you can now talk about tracking your gambling habit or activities and the profit or losses made. If you are gambling for the fun then you don't have anything to track but just to enjoy the fun. I don't need to track anything except you depend on gambling for source of income.

I always track my profit/loss per month to analyze what’s additional profit/loss to my overall finances but I don’t track my overall gambling history since this is very hard to maintain especially on my case that I have an indefinite schedule on gambling on multiple casino.

I’m not sure either if tracking is still advisable while most of the casino already have loyalty page to track your total wager volume and stats on your casino account. It will be very painful to track progress if you are frequently losing than winning. This might ignite too a more chasing losses in the future so I really suggest to don’t do it in regular basis.

Well for a gambler like myself I don't think I would want to do anything like this and it's because I don't want to be in a panic state because I know obviously that the loses I have gotten are far more greater than the profits so what I do is just to enjoy any session i gambler and try as hard as I can to actually control my greed because I know that's one of the major reason that actually lead to loses in gambling.

But I think this strategy will be good for people that take their gambling habits so seriously to the extent of even making it job like because I believe there are some gamblers that do go to that extreme.

I have never thought of this because tracking or not tracking, a gambler will always lose more than he win which is a norm in gambling. It is better that I use to money that I can afford to lose and gamble for fun so that I can have a healthy gambling experience. It is people who are so worried about their gambling activities that can have the time to track their gambling progress because they might be gambling for profit or they want to win big, since they believe that they can use gambling to turn their lives around. Whatever outcome that my bet gives me, I am satisfied with it.

Nope, I do not keep a track of my gambling progress.

While many people seem to take this for granted, I do highly recommend it in order to keep track of your expenses. If you try to input every expenditure in an excel sheet, then you could observe and see if you are actually profiting or not. In addition, this can also give you a broad idea on how much money you have spent on this habit.

Though this may be the case, this is more applicable to people who view gambling as a means of profit. But for people who view it for entertainment, then I guess keeping a track of expenses can give you also an idea on how much money you have allocated it.

I will not track the matches that I have selected. Once all have been played, I will check the results. The only time I track the match that I used to stake is if I am watching it like while watching one of the matches played in EPL and the likes. And not that I am tracking it but I just want to watch the match and have fun and nothing more. Not tracking the matches will give you a rest of mind than tracking it.

Sometimes some people may thought the match they selected is about to be lost, do cash out that will not favour them and later the match favored them but in a way they are losing more than the amount they staked because they have already cashed out while in fear. Although it can be verse versa.

I don't track my progress, but I track the money that comes in and goes out of my wallet into my accounts. I don't think you would call losses and wins as 'progress,' as progress only means you're getting something of positive note when applied to this context in gambling. Anyhow, it's great if you have a tracker of your wins and loss and see whether you have profited for some time. If your analysis show that you are losing tons of money, then perhaps it's best to quit gambling or rethink of ways to not lose so much.

I never track my gambling traffic, I only play games that I like, when I win I withdraw, when I lose I immediately close it, I'm never crazy about increasing my gambling status.

No, I do not have such a habit, and the reason could be that I do not position my mind on the money to be made in gambling. It has never been a means to make me financially free, so I do not even think towards that direction. I have gambling accounts, and some, I've not used for the past 7 years, so I do not bother myself with such things. Even with the ones I am gambling regularly with, I play some for fun and some for the money, but even the ones I play for the money are well-managed, and my resolve at all times is that what I gain from them is mine, and what I lose is that of the house, period.

Due to my managerial consideration and prowess also, I was able to hold my account for so long, and within a year at times, I might not even deposit more than once. It is though a tug-of-war as I lose and gain, but since it is about winning and losing in my sports betting practices, I am often able to have the upper hand. This couples with the fact that I bet independently of games, and not the way many others do it due to greed.

For this, I continue to gamble and be mindful of what I have as my account balance but not about what I've lost or gained.

I can relate... I play games I like, sometimes when win I withdraw, and sometimes I continue to play! Many times it turned out to be a bad decision to make, but when we are in "fire" it's hard to make the right calls. When I lose I also just close the casino and I wish myself more luck next time, it's the only right thing to do, to accept to lose and wait for the next opportunity.

I guess that tracking the gambling process is good for people who take gambling seriously and wish to make some money in the long run by playing skill-based games. But for us who like to relax and have a nice time tracking is not a big deal, we play when we can and with money we can afford to lose.

As it should be but we know that there are people who do really fail on doing such act on which they would really be just that liking on making themselves spending like a mad man specially on the time that they would
be having those consecutive winning on which they would really be molding those kind of thoughts that they could really be rich with gambling on which this is really that a wrong mindset to have towards it.
Answering out the question on having that tracking about gambling progress, like those leveling up bars or trying to have a good record then im not and just like the rest of people who do respond into this thread.
It would really be always ideal that you should really be that mindful about on the money that you are spending rather than on having those kind of trying out to make your progress look spectacular.
You are really just that making yourself that put up on such great trouble on this case. This is why it would be best that you should really know on what are the things thats happening around.

It is in the past that I did such a thing, to track my gambling progress. But nowadays I don't care to check how the games I have bet on are turning out to be since it is either I win or lose, one thing will happen.
Therefore, no need to actually put much attention or anxiety on myself, making me not have the fun of my gambling activities for the day.

I only progress of my gambling section.

Like, how many streaks/lose I got and current profit. So, it will determine my gambling bet size in the future (In-case winning, try to increase a little bit especially on heater) meanwhile on losing but still winning try to use my base bet and not get triggered.

I believe people should do that as well, to maintain their bankroll.

Only interested in betting on sports betting and occasionally trying to play other types of bets such as slots, even though his status could be said to be a rare game, so the habit of tracking gambling progress has never occurred to him.

Other gamblers I don't know if they do, but I myself just enjoy every bet. Tracking gambling progress may be done by other gamblers who focus on gambling. Maybe they need to understand how gambling has developed recently, for example how many losses they have had and how many wins they have had.

If a gambler has had the experience of having just one game stop them from winning a good amount of money from sports-betting, they will always check the progress of their games when played. Gamblers who gamble like this will always be affected by emotional pressure to cash out from their games sometimes before they are able to all play out correctly. Gamblers who do not track their gambling progress have a reason as backup for it for justification, gamblers who track their gambling progress each time may have even won more money from quickly cashing out when they have made profit from gambling before one or two game spoil their chances. Whichever habit you have, just make sure that it is not putting you at a disadvantage.

I don't monitor my progress in terms of profit in the game because I've already figured out in my head that when I'm playing that bet counts as lost money, so I've also got it in my head that in casinos I won't have more wins than losses. On the contrary, I always get it into my head that I will have more defeats than victories. This means I don't waste time seeing how many victories and defeats I'm having. Even if I don't see this I'm still aware that I have more losses than wins, even without seeing my statistics I can be aware that I'm losing more money than I'm making money and unfortunately there's nothing I can do to change it. that. add a new player

even if this new player was very skilled, it still wouldn't change anything, this new player would also have more losses than wins, which is why in my opinion it is very important that people realize very early on that gambling is not an investment in which the A person can create high expectations and can keep track of the investment to keep up to date with profits, in gambling this does not exist. Many people can discover the difference between gambling and investments when the person tries to track both and will see that in the investment the losses are small but it is just a matter of time to make a profit, in the case of investing in bitcoin, but the same value as the person invested in investment and invested in gambling, he lost everything in gambling and would not be able to recover it even if a hundred years passed

Yes and I think it's a good thing to do and actually more gamblers should do it to be able to reflect on what's going on with their gambling activities. Casinos should also be providing a more comprehensive outlook at PNL and such metrics. I take it that if more people had a clear picture of what's going on with their gambling activities they'd be able to coordinate them much better and in consequence also gamble a lot more responsibly.

So yeah, tracking gambling is an important part of keeping it at healthy levels. Many people actually gamble more than they should and don't even bother to check, which is a drawback of bad tracking. Issues like this could easily be solved if more people were performing some basic checking and budgeting.

The gambler had a opportunity to win in the game or loss the game based on their luck.The rich people had the good betting size,because of their holding money the betting size will be more.When the betting size was more the winning or multiple from the winning will be more,if you are betting in a casino.Now the poor gamblers make a betting of 10$ per betting,but the rich use to bet for the amount of 100$ per betting.In the casino both the gamblers won 4x of the betting   money.The poor gambler get 40$ as profit,the rich gamblers will get 400$ from the single betting.

Both the gamblers betting based on their capacity,but the process make up the big win for the rich gambler.The gamblers who want to make the money from the gambling site,the risk taking in the gambling was more essential one in the gambling site.

If you’re into profit, then most probably you’ll make time for this.
Personally, I do have my monitoring activities to see how much money I’ve loss versus to the money I make in gambling and also since I gamble on a budget, i need to monitor if I’m still on a budget or I gamble too much already. Having your monitoring sheet is fine, this can help you assess your gambling habit where addiction can be prevented.

No, I personally don’t have such a habit.
I think it's all about the difference in approach to this matter. If a person gambles for fun, then there is no need for him to write down or remember anything. But if a person has hopes for gambling and calculates something, for example statistics or probabilities, that is, he already takes the game seriously, then he most likely should write everything down so that later he can see his mistakes and correct actions

what will make a gambler develop the habit of tracking his gambling progress if he's either making more losses than profit is when he is using an attractive amount of money to gamble and many of these gamblers that uses large amount of money to gamble don't do it for fun, to them it is a serious business which is why they make sure to keep a track record to keep them abreast with their progress level if there is any at all.

For my kind of gambler, track keeping is an expeditious waste of time and energy and personal see no need to it as I don't gamble constantly and also not with that big amount that should need me to keep track on. If you find out you're losing more than you're making profits it's better to suspend the play and go for a leave from gambling, as maybe that's all what you need to get back to winning ways again and not to keeping track records.

Although the main reason I gamble is for entertainment and fun. And victory is just a possibility. However, it is quite important for me to be able to know my development and progress in placing a bet. This can be an evaluation material for a better betting experience, by doing this it can clearly help us improve our abilities and skills in gambling or betting. Apart from that, this can also help me ensure and monitor that the gambling and betting that I do is running normally without causing significant losses. and even if there is a problem, I will always be able to take proactive steps to maintain control over my gambling activities.

By having the habit of tracking the gambling activities that we do, this can enable us to more easily identify a pattern that is quite risky or a negative tendency that we may often engage in. For example, you find that when gambling you tend to be more aggressive after experiencing several continuous losses, which is a very bad tendency because it can only result in losses, and if you don't realize it as soon as possible then this will continue. every time you gamble.

Yes I do and I do it very often cause I don't only gamble for fun I gamble for making more money too and most times tracking my games especially soccer bets when they are still ongoing helps me to get some returns in some games am not really sure that will go well as predicted. Not tracking my game has made me to lose money because I failed to take a cash out of a big amount of money and I eventually lost the bet so since then I don't joke with my bets once the game is running very well. I can't be far from where my treasure is cause I don't play to lose am always hoping to win always even though I don't win in every selection.

It is not really a waste of time and energy to every gambler. Some people naturally are very good at record keeping as a way to track their activities to make sure that they are not doing one thing more than the other, it has become a lifestyle to them. If those kinds of people start to gamble, they may extend that habit into gambling by always keeping record and track of their gambling activities and progress on a notepad, or on any material that an information can be written or expressed on. In all their record and tracking their activities, they still manage to have some fun that they see as okay.

Not necessarily all the time, a few times I do just for a particular purpose which could cut across a few things such as trying a strategy or trying to get at a particular target gambling and at this point it's no longer just gambling for fun but for a reason so I'm other to be sure I'm making progress or gradually getting to what I aim at, I monitor my bet at that point.

It actually not a really healthy practice because it may lead you to chasing losses at times especially when you suffer more losses than you do win, if you are not gambling for fun then you should be careful enough not to loose so much because you will definitely get to the point you may just feel you have lost so much and the only way to recovery is to start chasing after them and that could even lead to more losses  which will further breed addiction and all other harmful habits.

Is it considered tracking when I only keep a mental note of the bets I made and losses or gains for the past week or month? I think everyone does that too whether intentional or not. To write it is something I've never done and I don't even check the history of my gambling accounts.

Sooner or later, they will regret not keeping track of what goes out and what goes in of their wallet. I learned this just 2 years ago, and since then I wanted to know where my money is going and what can I do to save or invest more of it instead of spending on unnecessary things. People who believe that gambling is enough to make money and be rich are delusional. Only those operators will ever get rich or richer with gambling.


Better start writing it somewhere. Your memory is only reliable for a few good hours or days on these kinds of information.

How? We know that gambling is all about risk and anyone who is into gambling have already know what gambling is all about and I know quite well that gambling is all about good and bad and you can not track gambling from my understanding,  so gambling is a game of risk and you can't hope that with gambling you can be able to win every day by day the way some people do think of gambling, I know quite well that gambling is by luck and for you to win a gambling you don't have to do other things so therefore let us that gambling have to do with something of good calculations but not to depend on gambling

Since you didn't explain what you mean by tracking your gambling progress, let me believe that it means following up your ticket game by game to know the fate of the game even before the last. If that's your stand, then yes.

I am into sports betting and it is my habit to follow my ticket game by game reason being that it is so easy for me to get over a game than it is to check a ticket after the end of the last game. Each time I don`t follow up on my game I notice panting in my heart when I check because of fear of losing the ticket and since this is my nature I always track the progress of my game.

In another aspect, I always check and balance every month to know if I am progressing or not because this can be another aspect of tracking gambling progress. This method of checking progress every month has guided me in setting a budget for gambling in the new month. When I have progress, I tend to increase a little but still with an amount I am prepared to lose and when I am on debit, I will take a pause or stick to the same amount.

I meant it to be that way since I don't intend to write at all. What I do is set a bankroll for each period and just see what happens. Keeping up with every losses and wins is not that important to me but I have no problem with people that does it. I prefer to just check the balance at the end of each week or month. It's good if I end up with more and it's okay if I end up losing it all.

Tracking your gambling can be tricky.  It can help you watch your money and catch issues early.  But it can also suck you in more and make you obsess over losses.  So its kinda risky and  you gotta think hard about whether it helps or hurts for you.  Personally, Id be careful with it cause gambling already pulls at addictive strings for me.  Its still nice to have the data but keeping some distance helps me stay sane. 

But if you find it useful to steer through all the betting and stuff, more power to you.

Yes, I have the habit of tracking my gambling progress.  If one wants to control the amount he is spending in gambling, he has to have to track his performance.  Knows how much he is losing and how much he is winning.  Trying to evaluate the statistics of the result of the gambling session is one of the actions in bankroll management that can greatly help gamblers know how much money comes in and out of their gambling activity and be able to adjust accordingly.

We do not need any spreadsheet for this because the casino oftentimes has the record of all our deposit and withdrawal activities. Simply checking them can give us all the data we need to know if we are in gain or lose.

I always tracked my gambling progress. I consider it important to keep checking how much I've already lost and won, so I don't lost control over my finances and betting activity. If I didn't do this, it would be impossible to reach any conclusions about gambling nowadays, what is a must in every things you do in life, so you can finally realize how benefical, harmful, or neutral that kind of activity is being for you, so you can adjust if you should increase its frequency, decrease or just maintain it.

Many people don't like tracking gambling results because they want to forget about their losses, as it's painful to keep remembering it frequently. However, I believe mistakes from the past should never be forgotten, because such memories and data can be useful in the future, so we will tend to avoid repeating them over again. If I'm allowed to say something to these gamblers it would be to not see their histories as a failure, but as a learnship that turned them into more experienced and wiser individuals.

Yes, and I think everyone does track our gambling progress when we do it. But what's discouraging is when we're already on a losing streak, that's giving us the lazy vibes when it's no longer worth it to track it because what we see is just pure red numbers and negatives. That's not the ideal way of tracking or we don't like to track that way because we like some greens and gains. But if you like to track even your losses, it's normal because you have to know how much you've lost.

And with that, that's what you're going to recover and will make you pursue that you should recover that number that has been tracked with your progress. But even you know the numbers, there are these moments that will make you realize that it's not going to be worth it anymore because it's either too big or you're not winning anymore and being on that part is hard to make it up and recover to be up again with your tracking progress.

i guess, in my case i just monitor how much i deposit on a gambling site. because keeping track of your gambling winnings/losses will surely give you a headache. this is actually time consuming and i don't think many gamblers can actually do it. besides, seeing your losses will give you the urge to not stop even if you already are in the negative side of your bankroll or you are beyond your set budget limits.


unfortunately, how many gamblers do you think are doing this activity diligently? i highly believe, they may do it at the beginning but hard to sustain this activity as it is quite time consuming. but if you can do it and keep at it, then maybe you are doing yourself a favour to easily assess your gambling habits just by looking at your history.

Yes, I did that some years ago when I was fully enthusiastic about gambling. At the time, I usually wanted to believe that gambling was my side hustle, which gave me the opportunity to earn some money without any serious hustle for it. So, it was necessary to keep track of my progress, but since 2022 through 2023 until now, I just totally dropped in my gambling frequency. Last year, I actually faced a different phase in my business, which affected me, and everything I was just thinking of was getting back on track. Throughout last year, I was not thinking much about gambling; I only did it to catch fun and mostly with my friends. I don't keep track of my progress now because I have a more important business to keep track of its progress so that I don't experience the loss I had last year.

In conclusion, I would say that people who can keep track of their progress are those who have more time to think about gambling, probably because they are expecting more wins. There's a saying that "where your treasure is hidden is where your heart will always be."

Th gambling is the process,So the gamblers should learn the process of making money by the betting on their gambling site.The gamblers should use the free money to play the gambling instead of the wanted money,because of the free money.The loss in the gambling site not impact the gamblers real life if the money from the free resources.Here gamblers need to accept the progress,the winning or losing the money both was in the progress of the gambling.The finance in the gambling site should be handled by the gamblers to avoid of more money loss because of the random betting in the same gambling site.The gamblers who accept the loss can able to play free stress free games in the gambling sites.

No, even though I always bet a little on gambling, everything I spend on gambling is budgeted but I never track it. You'll only know how much you've spent and then when it's too much you'll think that if you saved it, you'd have something like this, like that, I avoid this scenario so I never really track my losses and wins

When the progress you are referring to is like comparing yourself now to before, you will immediately see what is different from before and now, so you don't need to look at it. We know that we have learned more today because of the mistakes we made in the past.

Regardless wether I am playing for the profits or not,  I always check how I have progress both in my spending and VIP movement,  most time,  I use stakes for all my gambling and in some cases,  I always make sure to check my amount in total wager and how much profits of loses I have registered also.

My best is to always make sure to know how much I deposit and how much I withdraw daily so that it can help me to plan and adjust if there is a need for such adjustment at some point in time.

It takes a dedicated and serious minded gambler to be able to track gambling progress. Even when such data are readily available in the gambling cabinet, not many gamblers bother to check their gambling history because they are busy chasing the next event. I thinking monitoring gambling progress is actually a good practice as it helps in knowing if indeed gambling helping or not. It also make it easier for planning and future financial allocations as well as enable one with knowing if the strategy adopted for the gambling is working or not.

Yes I do.it helps me stay focused on the game.
Sometimes I get carried away by it and don't do it. It is like 60-40.

Gambling is a personal practice of each player who will play as gambling, the gambling will increase. But I personally do not have a lot of gambling and there is no interest in it, because I know most of the money is to lose money here. But I played a time gambling and lost most of the time, I could have earned a very short time and I would not have been able to re-extract the money that I would have been deposited there. One time was more interested in the gambling but could not win the bad but gradually I brought myself control and prevented the gambling game. However, gambling game is not funny, it can always be a person in the affected person, and that's why I have stopped this gambling game.

I tried it in the past, a number of times, but it all didn't last. I failed to sustain it. So now I am not doing any kind of tracking of my gambling progress anymore. I think the reason why I don't feel any urgency to do it once again is that I have greatly reduced by gambling activities. I think there is no heavy reason for me to be worried that I'm not anymore in control of my finances because of gambling and that I need to track my gambling expenses. 

Most sites track your progress for you. Stake.com, gamdom.com, and I'm sure others as well. I don't check my progress very often as it can be kinda depressing. Who wants to see how much money they are down? Not me, that's for sure. If I was running like a god and way up I might be more inclined to care about stats.

At first, when I was new to gambling, I mostly tracked my win, loss, and overall performance to organize my gambling habits. This way, I can track analyze where to improve and stay disciplined with my bankroll management. It requires effort to track progress. Until, as time passed by, when I got more and more into gambling, I did not care about tracking it anymore.

For me yes, because tracking my gambling progress will help me in the future to be able to assess my gambling activities, like staying within my budget, and make informed decisions. It will make me make better decisions about future gambling activities.
It will also help me to ensure I don't gamble more than I can afford.

It is not that easy to track such record or to keep tabs of it especially if you are a daily player. I think I tried it at a time briefly as an active gambler then but found myself too bothered about it that it was almost stressing me out. It can only be an easy exercise for a newbie who is just in the euphoria of what is going on with his game and the energy will still be there. It can also be easier for a one time player say a weekly player, but for a daily player, you might see it taking your time from other activities of the day.

I'm already tracking my gambling expenses. I keep track of what I bet or whenever I engage in gambling. All of that is recorded. Basically, so that I have a tracker where I would see if this month or any period that I am earning or not. So for example, I created or programmed an Excel spreadsheet wherein I input the capital I will use for this month, and from there, whatever I do in gambling, I will record it in my spreadsheet, along with the amount of the gamble or bet, so in the end, I keep track of whether I'm earning or not. I started doing this so that I know when I can stop or whenever I need to save up some of my earnings. As a computer science graduate, building this kind of thing efficiently can make things easier for me, and I also think keeping track of your gambling is important.

No I'm not mate because If I do? I will  only feel my desperation and guilt because of what i have done in the past, i use to be a complete gambler and now I forgot what i did back then.
try not to track your gambling progress instead just continue in your responsible gambling .

I keep tracking my gambling but im, not a player who made the gambling as use for financial needs, i just keep gambling when i have some extra and of course if you are few games to play you can easily identify if you are game is still profitable or not, this kind of feature is now adapting by the casinos they know how their player makes an excessive play so some of those are already built in to their features giving data about the players record aside from the transaction history. Ideally not most of us are keep tracking their gambling because they keep playing as long as they enjoy the game.

Since I don't gamble with large sums, there is no need to track my gambling activities. It will be a waste of time because there are other important things to do. But I can do that if there is an easy tool to check it and maybe when I am less busy.
But it will be a good option for people who are trying to control gambling addiction. Tracking gambling progress will be a good feedback mechanism to check the progress of breaking free from addiction. Some people see gambling as a major source of income, tracking their gambling process could also help them to know if they a losing or gaining over some time.  

I used to but I do not do it anymore now. Few years back, I had an excel data for my gambling activity which has some columns for date, deposit, withdraw, casino names, etc. I made it to control my gambling habit, to avoid something which is more than what I should do. At one side, it helps me a lot but on the other side it makes me regret some time when I was in continuous losing moment and my total lost was something that can be considered as above my own limit. I decided to stop it after few months, as I was frustrating to see my own statistic when bad luck came too long time.  :D

I don't really have an habit to track my progress as most of the time it is regress  ;D.If I kept a tracking then I would have quit gambling so long ago.That is why I will never keep track of what happens to my gambling sessions,as long as I don't want to really quit gambling.This though is a great option for persons who are looking to quit gambling yet they can't,when they will look at such data they will surely have an impact when they see the amount of money gone.

I don't do that, I think even though there are gamblers who do this, the percentage is very small because let alone gambling, many traders don't even track their trading results and only focus on the results they get.
Likewise with gamblers, winning will be enough to make them forget about previous results so they won't feel the need to track their gambling progress, or they can just check the progress from the casino account level because from there you can also see how much has been bet and check the withdrawal section for how much which has been withdrawn, but as I mentioned, usually a one-time win makes the gambler forget the previous results so they don't really feel the need to track the progress of their gambling because that's what I feel so far.

I've been tracking my "progress" or my plays in general here on forum since several years.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1234109.0
it's a way to also give "suggestions" to other users, it's a way to check what wins and what doesn't.
many don't do it out of laziness, but it's a serious mistake!!! You must keep track of it, it helps to play better!

A lot of gambling sites will actually keep tabs on how you're doing for you, which can be nice I guess.  And I know some gamblers use those stats to help control their gambling and stay disciplined which could be useful. Personally though, I tend not to check up on my progress too much.  Seeing those stats can get kind of disheartening, you know?  Getting bummed out seeing I'm down $200 bucks over the last month really isnt helping my morale.  So I just play my game and try not to overthink it. And I'm not playing with huge stacks of cash or anything here so I don't really feel a need to closely monitor all my bets and wins and losses and whatnot.

Moreover, it will only make us feel regretful because the percentage of progress in gambling is very small and there will always be much greater setbacks that occur, losses will always have quite significant numbers than wins.
But if we look at progress in attitudes, mindsets and also responsible decisions then it is clear that there will be differences between the past and the present, perhaps we can be much better and can actually have much more appropriate attitude and mindset.
Learning from bad experiences will be much better than tracking the progress we have while in gambling, no gambler will actually be able to have progress that is good enough if it is about success.
I myself think that success in gambling is when we as gamblers can be in safe conditions and steps to minimize all excessive failures, besides being able to have control and sense of responsibility.
This is the attitude of gamblers who are truly successful and have success from gambling because most gamblers still always make the wrong steps and in the end they always experience losses without any limits.

But on the other hand I don't believe that seeing progress in gambling will be able to make gambler stop and of course when they see what the actual results are then emotions will increase and they can gamble even crazier.
All of this happens because gamblers see various failures and also number of losses that they cannot accept well.

Gamblers who engage in gambling for fun don't have time to look back at how much they have spent on gambling, I believe that when it hurts is when we always feel like looking back, that's why it's for our own sake when we risk small amount of cash on gambling.

I have never thought of tracking my past gambling progress because I understand how important luck is in this field, luck is all you need in gambling to make your day a good one, but it won't happen all the time, to avoid bad stories later you must use small money, by the time you get lucky you will feel more appreciated of yourself with your strategy.

The only time I feel like I need to change my gambling locations is when the losses have happened too many times, I always knew this because when months ends I always have things to do on my calender, which makes me think about my gambling activities, if it's been a month or two and no good luck I will opt for another online casino.

No, I don't have the habit of tracking my gambling progress. But if I want the data, I can check it in my status history in my gambling account. From there, I can find out many things about deposits, withdrawals, or betting. But I don't need that because it will make me think about my wins and losses and can make me want to recover from the losses because the number of losses will be greater than the number of wins. It's better for me to just gamble as usual and not think about my gambling progress because that could cause problems for me later. Using gambling as part of my entertainment will not make me think about gambling all the time.

A newbie needs to  set up a system to track how he plays how much money he is losing and winning, and if he is doing it right, for a regular gambler needs to track the system or the habit he set up if he is still following this system, following your progress is very important this is a sign or the behavior of a responsible gambler
he needs to update and assess himself if he is still a responsible gambler or going off the mark with his budget and allocated time.

The temptation to bet more or play longer hours is always there, sometimes we lose ourselves when we become too excited and too anxious to regain what we've lost, so we need to assess even weekly so we can judge ourselves if we are still what we want to become in gambling or we are departing from our plan.

Yeah, I've done this before when I was a newbie like every time I gamble, I always compare my progess between win and loss but later on, when I decided to follow my own strategy, I'd never track my progess because my ultimate goal why I'm doing this is of course to make money while having fun, and to achieve that, I need to become more responsible in my finances, time, and bank roll. Sometimes, when we are always paying attention in our gambling progress, we don't notice that we are losing focus and we are under pressure to recover all the lost money.

Gambling progress track? Let's be honest - this is a serious risk, not a hobby. Gambling is a spiral, thus I don't track "progress" in gambling. This technique usually leads to a road you don't want to go

The deal: Without limitations, healthy gambling is impossible. Here, boundaries mean hard stops. The science shows that our brains are hooked on highs and lows, fooling us into thinking the next big win is coming. The cycle is harmful. The only 'tracking' you should do is tracking your gambling urges. The house always wins, and you? Game intended to lose

Nope.

For a responsible gambler it's no need to track your gambling activity, to know if you're a responsible gambler is you have a good amount of saving/investment, gambler less than your monthly income, and never face any problem due to gambling.

For an addict, I suggest to track your gambling activity, record every money you gamble and how much profit you've make, so you will know if gambling is really can be used to make money or not.

I used to try to track my progress in gambling, but lately this tracking has been limited to allocating a certain amount of money for a gambling session and ends up emptying my deposit. There is no point in controlling anything else, as it does not depend much on it. I act within my risk management and it is enough for me. Everything else depends on luck.

I always keep tabs on what I spend, and that includes any money I might throw into gambling. It just helps me stay on top of where my money is going and how it's impacting my overall finances


Isnt that so stereotyping? Tracking your gambling activities is a smart move for anyone. It helps you understand how it affects your finances, whether you're just having fun or need to keep a closer eye on things

What's the essence of even tracking my gambling progress when I already know what the outcome would be. Every gambler should always have it in mind that gambling was designed to always favor the casino more than the gamblers. There isn't a gambler who can come here and tell me that his winnings are more than his losses, because that's not the case, every gambler's losses are always more than the winnings.

It's just as if you're paying for a passage fee to come take something from someone else's house. There's no assurance that you'll take it successfully or if you'll be caught, so the chances are 50/50, I think the chances are more of 70/30, 70 for the casino and 30 for you. So you that the casino is at greater advantage than the gamblers, but the casino makes us Believe that the chances are 50/50 or that our chances winning is higher than Losing, by making gambling appear to be just too easy to win, which is rather the opposite.
This is the only reason I know anyone would want to track his gambling progress, to know if his winnings are higher than the loses. Lol... Lameeee.

But somehow its helpful to track your stats so that you can identify your current status and adjust on situation base on what it shows to you. Since not tracking may lead us to become denial on everything happening especially on our lose and might we can gamble again since we think its still fine. Unlike if we track our losses where we can possibly know how much many we earn and lose and if we are really winning. For sure with this we will be careful or responsible enough to deal with our gambling activities. Also maybe for this it can help us go away on situation thay we don't want to happen since our stats will remind us not to exceed on our limits.

Tracking wins and losses, stats, and all that stuff can definitely feel like a buzzkill. But listen, even though having fun is key, it's important to be smart about it too. Ignoring everything but the fun can be tricky. Chasing wins can lead you to push your limits further than you intended, and before you know it, that rollercoaster ride takes a sharp turn you weren't prepared for.

Responsible gambling isn't about being a party pooper, it's about making sure the party stays fun and doesn't turn into a headache. It's about setting limits beforehand, taking breaks when needed, and remembering that gambling is just that – a game, not a guaranteed win.

I did a data search at a sports book to find out my gambling win and loss statistics but found no data after more than 6 months. I didn't really need it though. I think that those who find gambling a source of pleasure do not need to get data. Moreover, such data will not be of much use to sports bettors in recent times. But even if professional gamblers could benefit from that data to some extent, I don't think it would be very effective. I myself do not care about my gambling win or loss statistics. In gambling I have no record of getting good results and gambling by following past records that are completely uncertain.

Do you feel happy when you're record your gambling activity? personally I'm not.

When you're track your spending, you will feel not happy or regret when you're spend more money for unnecessary thing e.g. entertainment, new clothes, eat in fancy restaurant etc. I always think like "I shouldn't go to this place, don't buy this and don't play this to saves more money". Moreover it's wasting time since you can use your journaling time for other important thing.

You can gamble as much as you want, but make sure it's never exceed your monthly income.

Tracking progress is not that hard to do since casino have stats on everything that you do inside. Some casino have dedicated stats on the profile page or on your loyalty page. You can also use the live support to ask this personally and they email it to you since some user needs it for filing their taxes.


I think anyone that gambling chase to win. I’m not sure how do you play but that’s the reason why you will have fun on gambling or else just play a regular game without money involved. Chasing your losses is probably what you meant because that is different than chasing profit.

Gambling's attraction is strong, braided with chance and luck. I agree that moderation is vital. With limits, gambling may be fun. Risking little amounts protects against larger losses.

Based on my own experiences, gambling's joy is the act, not the result. The anticipation and delight of tiny bets are unique entertainment. Not recording gaming history is a double-edged sword. It protects one from prior losses but hides gambling's full financial and health effects.

Your response to changing gambling locations reflects a life strategy: adaptability. New surroundings can change one's outlook and luck after repeated failures.

No time to track my gambling progress once I bet and won I move on and If I lose I would wait for another opportunity again afterall there are many opportunities ahead, gambling is a game of luck backtesting results or checking my gambling progress wouldn't change any thing all I needed is to make through analysis of the matches ahead in order to bet on potential winning games and peradventure if I incurred consistent losses I do take a break which means I am out of luck and would strife hard to make a positive comeback, however I only bet with the amount of money I can afford to lose thus I don't feel sad in any case of losing any bet.

For sure i wont really be happy since i wont really that seeing those good numbers or simply talking about profits on which we know that this isnt something that could really be avoid since
we would really be that curious or would really be that loving to know whether we are on a profitable side or we are on the losing side. On the time that you've seen that you are on the negative
then this is where negative emotions would really be kicking in on which you would really be able to find yourself that a little bit impulsive towards your views and reactions towards things.
When it comes on trying out to having on habit on tracking on gambling progress is something not all the time that kind of thing that should really be done.

So far I haven't paid much attention to tracking the progress of the gambling that I play because I only spend the money that I can afford so even if I win or lose I can still accept it and don't pay attention to the progress of the gambling that I have experienced so far, and I don't think there has been any progress very significant because if you do the math, I experience more losses than the wins I receive, therefore I don't want to pay attention like that because if I knew the number of losses I experienced it would cause me to regret just playing gambling.

I don't care about my progress because the most important thing for me is being able to limit my gambling so that I don't gamble too much so that I don't feel a big loss in a short time, if I lose a small amount of money then I don't feel a big loss and I don't problem because I use gambling for fun.

Tracking your gambling process is important, you shouldn't say due to gamble being a game if luck that you'll just be gambling any how without knowing of you've being losing money or not. If you don't track your gambling process, you won't know when to stop gambling as it isn't favouring you. Tracking your gambling process can change many things, it can make better aware if how much you're spending gambling and help you to prevent gambling addiction from chasing losses.

Regardless of the fact that you're gambling for entertainment or for money, tracking your gambling progress will be very helpful to you. Gambling shouldn't be done for getting money as it can make you become addicted to gambling but following some rules as tracking your gambling progress can help prevent that from happening. Gambling is a game of luck but some strategies are needed to help you win.

There is no need for me to do it. For what purpose? Just to see how much I am winning and losing?

I just end up the day tracking them for that particular day and whatever is left or won then that's it. If I lose, then everything has lost that day and I won't be looking at them anymore.

If I think that there is a need for me to recover for that time, it's just going to give me a headache because the potential of losing has always been there. Not tracking the progress doesn't mean that we're not organized, we just don't want to and let happen what has to happen.

The data searched in sportsbooks or casinos will not provide results for a long time and is not more than 6 months old. Maybe so as not to store too much data on the casino server, they only provide data for around 6 months. If you want to track it, you can make your own notes about your gambling activities so you can check them when you are not doing other activities. Some require records of their gambling statistics and some don't. I am one of those people who needs a record of my gambling activities because I don't gamble very often and don't think gambling is something serious.

The feature you are talking about is already there long time ago but it was great because it makes our lives easier if we are monitoring our gambling expenses. We can say that casinos do care too for their players and not only about the money that they are putting into their platforms.

Gambling is highly addictive, so we shouldn't say that we will play as long as we are having fun because it won't end. It can lead for us to be addicted on it and at the same time lose a lot of money. Active gamblers are supposed to be the ones that should track their expenses but it's kinda crazy that the ones that are doing that are the gamblers like you, who have a self-control.

Gamblers need to understand the financial implications and their own patterns of behavior. Without monitoring the gambling activity, it's easy to lose track of how much money spent and whether they are actually winning or losing in the long run. Gamblers can gain insights into their habits and spending patterns by keeping a record of their gambling sessions. This awareness can help to recognize if the spending is beyond the means or if just chasing losses, which are common signs of gambling addiction.

Tracking your progress allows you to set limits for yourself and know when it's time to stop, whether you're ahead or behind. Whether you're gambling for entertainment or profit, responsible gambling practices like tracking your progress are vital. People need to approach gambling with a mindset of enjoyment rather than solely focusing on financial gains, as this can help prevent addictive behavior. While luck plays a role in gambling, employing strategies such as tracking your progress can increase your chances of making informed decisions and maintaining control over your gambling activity.

OP, I don't think there is need for this unless you want to be heartbroken, most people has lost more than they profit in gambling, for such person to track his progress in gambling does not make sense at all, is better for you to quit if you can than tracking something that you know that will make you feel bad.
I have heard people say that if you track your gambling progress it will help you to gamble with a.budget but i tell you that even though you track it, once you are an addicted gambling you don't see losing as anything, you continue gambling as far as the fund for it, is available.   

The profit and the loss was not the result at the same time.But the loss after the winning and winning after the loss was the possible outcome of the gambling site.The gamblers who want to make the money using the gambling site should try to track their game,because the gamblers should memorise the output for the desired card.If the game was the slot game,the gamblers should learn to play the slot game.When the output was the positive one the gamblers would make some money.At the same time the gamblers should understand the output based on the desired input.Like wise the gamblers game will change on their luck in gambling.

No, let it be all the money earned and lost without considering it again because if you recalculate again, will make you uncomfortable so to continue in what in you doing today. if you remember how much you lost and won, it definitely won't be balanced, and there will be a lot of loss. So if you want to track the progress, do it from the beginning on the new gambling site. maybe that will help to manage money spending, But of course it won't change your gambling habits.

Actually, there is no need to look inside the casino if you want to see data over longer period of time, we can see every deposit and withdrawal transaction from the personal wallet address used and there we will be able to see in detail whether the profit of the money withdrawn is greater or not loss of money deposited.
But is it true that gamblers will do this, come on, this only makes Sara very disappointed because I sure that the amount of loss will definitely be much greater than the profit and in the end we will not be able to accept all of that.
It better to forget to search for data on how much money is lost and gained from gambling so that we will only gamble according to the abilities and approaches we have.
It just that can do this as consideration to change yourself in gambling to make it much better because when see much bigger losses it will give awareness and also feeling of wanting to change everything so that in the future it doesn't get worse.

But my advice will remain the same, namely just gamble for fun according to your abilities and forget about losing or winning because we only do it to get entertainment.
That way we can definitely avoid every bad thing that could happen from the risks we take from gambling.

I never track my gambling history, because I know it will make me more curious and force myself to continue gambling, besides, I don't really care about account status or calculating losses and wins, because I'm not an active gambler, I just open online casinos when I feel bored and have time

If you are kinda soft related to this stuff and want to enjoy gambling maybe good for us to not to count some stuff related to our stats since somehow we can possibly get distracted with it if we know how much we lose compare to the winning we get. But somehow its important for us to know about this so we can be careful enough on our betting activities and make sure that we don't do excessive habits toward our activity done in a casino.

But everyone have different opinion about this and I guess that no wrong statement on what they believe about this topic since people could decide on things they like to do and what they should avoid since maybe they are easily to get discourage when finding out the truth about somethings they do.

Exactly! checking our gambling history from time to time will attract us to gamble more or even chasing our losses, Same to you, I rarely gamble and I do this when I have free time and I have excess money for gambling, I also avoid overspending because I really try not to gamble especially when I'm bored.

I never thought about it until now. Sometimes I think that the money I win and the money I lose are equal. I don't know what really happened. But I feel that the money I win and the money I lose are equal. I gamble for fun. That's why I don't care too much about the results. Because I bet reasonable amounts. Most of the time I don't spend more than the cost of a cup of coffee. So the results have not been very important to me so far. When I win, I feel proud of my achievement and gain indescribable happiness. When I lose, I only lose a cup of coffee money.

Gambling does not build riches. Plain and straightforward fun. Tracking every deposit and withdrawal to calculate profit? Theoretically sound but missing the forest for the trees. Surprisingly, losses can outweigh earnings. Who goes to a casino expecting good odds?

Gamble for fun and within one's means? Right on. Let's not pretend we're reasonable and can ignore loss. Understanding gambling psychology is the kicker. It's about the thrill, chase, highs, and eventual lows. Humans tend to overestimate wins and underestimate losses. So gamble? Please do it with open eyes. Recognise it as paid entertainment. Always play responsibly. The house always wins, but you decide how to play

Yes, I keep track of my gambling activity in my own way, in addition to the stats shown in the online casino. I began doing this out of curiosity, to find out if I was actually making money every time I won. Initially, I thought I was winning, but to my surprise, my losses were actually higher than my winnings.

It's not an investment, why track it? You will only feel like tracking when your loss is too much due to you risking a lot on gambling, you are definitely doing something wrong, this is the only thing that could prompt you into checking the past data.

It's like saying you go back into checking how many tickets you have bought in the past months when you visit the cinema with your family, like how much can a ticket cost to make you decide to do some calculation on just tickets?

If you can't afford it, then don't do it, this is same with gambling, if you are the type that cares so much about how much you've spent on gambling I think it's better not to be a gambler, you have money that you aren't ready to lose, such is bad for gambling, don't do it.

The way you gamble in your spare time is very good for you. This way you gamble but never get addicted to gambling. We always have to think about one thing that we cannot spend money and time behind gambling. Whenever we have extra money and  Gambling addiction will grow from the moment we start spending time. No matter what we do we cannot allow our gambling addiction to grow.

Gambling is entertainment plain and simple.  Budget accordingly if you're gonna play, cause your luck will run dry sooner or later.  Whether you have a habit of tracking your gambling progress or not, it doesn't matter. What matters is that you are mindful when you gamble. Consider your financial situation and personal limits.

Still, that doesn't mean you cant have some fun if you go in with eyes wide open.  The risks are definitely there, but you can manage them if you're smart.  Take control and gamble responsibly.  The house may win but you decide when to walk away.

I only track it occasionally, not often or even rarely, I track it just for fun, how much I spend gambling and how much I win, maybe once a month or so, I feel tracking is not very important except for achieve account status goals and targets that must be achieved if there is a promotion, otherwise I will ignore it

Well yes, but not daily and rather weekly. I allot a budget on the amount I would engage for a single week since I do gamble only with my free time. I am also sticking with the wagering amount which is why there are exceeding amounts sometimes for a week that can still be used for next week. Same thing goes with profit limit in order to not let myself become greedy of rewards aand end up losing everything in an instant. So far tracking the my cashflow in gambling really helps me a lot and I can still say that I am gambling responsible up until now. One reason I do so is that I am fully aware that I easily get affected with betting outcomes especially with losses. There was a time that I used all of my monthly salary just to get back with what I've lost in a single day, and ended up with nothing. It was an experience I never want to encounter.Unfortunately, addiction is not something we choose but we can lessen the risk. Preventive acts include tracking the money you are using in gambling as well as your exposure to this industry as well. If it consumes most of your time and money, then that should be an enough warning to keep an eye with your loss especially.

Especially someone who gambles for fun, rarely needs to keep track of their money inflows and outflows and how much they have won or not. In addition, checking the total balance spent on gambling is very important in order to know the amount of spending and to guide the person accordingly. Knowing all these details within a certain period of time not only helps to avoid excessive gambling expenses but also helps prevent the person from becoming addicted to gambling without realizing it. In other words, while it may be absolutely harmful to not keep track of the amount spent on gambling or to keep track of it constantly, it would be very useful to check it from time to time.

Why should you track your gambling progress?
For me, gambling is just having fun, I don't have time to evaluate how good my wins are and how bad my losses are at the gambling table.
What I still hold to this day is that no one can predict gambling more than 50%, so I won't waste my time on that. I only play when I have funds that I think I am willing to play even if it ends in defeat.

For a beginner that's new to gambling, I think there's need to periodically check your gambling progress. It will help you know the games you play often and your winning rate. This should give you an idea of how you're faring, whether to continue gambling or to apply a brake. Gambling should be fun, but c'mon, there's no fun in running into loses that will either put you into debts or drag you into a deep hole that you'll not be able to come out of.

Sure, once in a while I go through my bet history to keep myself updated on the percentage of winning and loosing. And most times the result keeps me in a smiling position, while other times I just feel like to change my betting strategy to a new one or the old pattern that worked best for me. As a gambler, there are several thoughts that comes to your mind if you are not pleased with the outcome of your gambling history, but the most important thing is to have full control over your emotions.

Well I don't know about you but I know that this can also trigger another feeling maybe in a case where the gambling have had series of lose and maybe lost his capital, this can also bring out this feeling of urgency and regret and maybe even emboldened him to strive more for improve his gambling and maybe also bring out the urge to chase back at those loses that he has inquired feeling maybe he can win them back but that is gambling that are emotionally moved.

I also don't really pay attention to the development of the gambling I do. because in my opinion most gamblers don't pay attention to this, but I myself don't know whether this is important or not. What I pay attention to is only the budget for gambling that is willing to lose, win or lose, so just accept it because that is the reality of what happens in gambling. It's true that it will probably make us regret it, but even regretting it won't change the situation, therefore it's better not to think about it, especially thinking about the many defeats that occur will only trigger us to become stressed.

That's right, the most important thing is to limit the gambling we do, don't gamble excessively because that will only make us experience a lot of losses. and it's true that gambling should only be done for fun,  but in my opinion the fun of gambling is in the winnings and the sensation, therefore the rest of the choice is up to us.

True, I prefer not to look back because 100% it will make me chasing the previous loss (this is the reality not theory)
Better forget it and consider that a new session = fresh start, we cant turn back the time either.
"letting go of the past, focusing on the present"

Tracking makes sense in those types of gambling in which something depends on human participation. If nothing depends on human participation, what is the point of tracking? If we consider slot machines, you can win or lose at any moment, and there are no regularities there.

Although I understand the importance of tracking, I rarely do it, I don't even know why, probably due to laziness. I don't use any additional means other than the online stats of the site itself. I only play games, I don't bet on sports. As it seems to me, there is no special point in meticulous tracking in games

Tracking would really be only that relevant or important if it means on investment or business on which this one is really that crucial but in gambling then it wouldnt be that much of a concern but it would be something needed on tracking up specially on the funds that you are spending it out.

It's really that important that you should be on that moderation
Specially that funds on what we are talking on here. Everything should really be in control on which it would really be just that important that you are aware on what you are doing.

I see your point. But in my opinion it is not quite correct to compare investments and business with gambling.


I don't have a gambling addiction and so I know how much I can spend and without additional accounting.  And those who have an addiction it is useless in the sense that they still neglect all their previously made records, statistics, etc. because it is a disease

that's why I only look at it occasionally, if I continuously look at inflows and outflows, for me personally it will cause pressure on ourselves, which before we put in serious capital if we lose and look at history too often it will create pressure on ourselves, but if you feel it's good to look at the history regularly do it because it will prevent you, but for me personally it's quite a bit different from what you feel

The gambler who like to track in the gambling site was not high possible one.Because everyone should play the game and doesn’t have enough time to track the game.If the gambler want to track the gambling can be the possible only by maintaining the maintaining the spread sheet in separate.The gambler should make the entry in the gambling site with the winning on each bets.The tracking of each betting was enough for the gambler,because tracking at each bets was used to determine the entire result.Every small betting also to be noted.

Checking deposit and withdrawal transactions via a personal wallet can be done if you don't want to check it on your gambling account because you have to visit the casino and log in to your account. You just choose which one you want to do and everything is a choice. Maybe only a small number of gamblers check their withdrawal and deposit transactions because many gamblers don't think about it, especially if they only use gambling as entertainment. Usually, they have allocated a certain amount of funds for gambling and will not see the transactions because they no longer need them. If they see their deposit and withdrawal transactions more often, maybe they will think about recovering their losses because the number of losses and wins will be greater than the number of losses. And that will make them want to gamble endlessly if their goal has changed to wanting to recover their losses.

Yes, we should just gamble for fun and not to win. That will be much more difficult for us to get, especially since we don't know when we can win. By using gambling as entertainment, we can avoid losing a lot and also not think about anything other than just enjoying the gambling.

Yes we can direct this tracking to the number of wins and losses in a certain time such as one month, two months or three months. I think this can be taken into consideration, especially when it turns out that the number of your losses is much greater than the wins then obviously as you said it is better to make a decision to quit gambling activities.

But on the other hand maybe I can also point to the idea of "tracking progress" on your approach, if you feel that lately you have not experienced too much adverse impact from your gambling activities in the sense of not losing too much money compared to before then maybe you can conclude that you have progressed towards a much better approach, and this scenario can be the opposite in the sense that you have experienced worse impact than the previous time.

I only track my spending on gambling, as for the progress itself, I don't really track it, because the games I play are based on luck so tracking progress is not that important. But maybe for games like table games or those based on strategy it might be important to track progress because tracking it allows players to see the percentage of their wins and then they can use that to organize future strategies and increase their win rate.

Yes in sports betting only.
But in casino games like Dice, Plinko, and others, I don't track them, and also in slots. The thing is, it's impossible for me because I am too forgetful with things and with how fast the game could be, it will be a lot of work and I don't want that. I just want to enjoy the game and let it go in Autobet.
I do track my dollars though. An example if I lose $5 in Plinko then I play another game like Keno where I win $2. I will subtract that from the losses from the first game. That's all the tracking I do when it comes to casino games.

Sports betting though is different. The number of bets I do every day can be counted in my fingers so it's easy to make a spreadsheet to track it. Especially whenever I feel like increasing my bet (not the usual), I must put that on record so I know how much I will win or lose.
I don't do this before but when I saw threads of other members also compiling their records, that got me curious so I tried it out. Sadly, there are parts where it is blank when I feel too lazy to input it in my spreadsheet. It happens. ;D
It's a good thing, you should try it out especially if you have an amount that is set for the week or month and you are disciplined to stick to that number even if it's depleted.

I tried to do that once and the moment that I saw how much I've spent on gambling, I never wanted to do it again because it just makes me frustrated and as much as people don't like this idea, I don't like to look at the price of something that I'm going to spend because it just makes me doubt how much I want to spend my money and I really don't like to do that to myself. For those that do though, I admire you because you're organized with your finances unlike me that's almost always on a spending spree whenever I get my hands on a huge amount of money, it's a miracle that I still haven't touched my bitcoin just to spend it on something useless.

This is true and this is why i dont really tend to track out my gambling progress because once i have seen the overall spending and those numbers are already big
then this is where i would be making myself that becoming impulsive and i might be ending up on trying to cope or break even those loses. Promise i have that kind of emotion
when im just starting or totally noob in gambling field. It already give out that kind of negative effect in me way in the past and this is why now i wont really be tending to have
those kind of tracking when it comes to gambling spending and other stats on which we know that it would really be surely showing that huge losses or negative.

The thing is two ways, for me, because sometimes, due to ranking up in the casino aiming VIP level, I always check my amount of wager to know how far I am progressing and at some point how much of the total wager that I have done in total.
This is what makes me check the amount I have spent in total and how to monitor my spending s to not overdo it sometimes, this method has helped me alot to know when to stop or continue to play or even make new deposits, this is what makes the most of sense to me even though I am not gambling for the money but for the fun, but as long as I have the plan to rank up, it doesn't matter.

That's good, after all, you are mindful of what you do and are accountable as well. Even if it is something that makes you accountable, it is still worth it as no one will ever be gambling without the proper awareness of what is happening in their account that is fit to be called a good gambler regardless of whether they are making money through it or not.

But for me, I can say that it depends on the account we are talking about. I have my account for different purposes, and I tell you that the account I use to bet on sports is not the same as the one I use to bet on casinos. If it is about the casino account, I do not care about what happens there, but what I notice is the amount I deposit, the way I bet, and when the money is exhausted due to bad days or even weeks of betting, I will replenish it again. I also keep the wagering limit very low. Also, it could take time to replenish it though depending on my feelings towards casinos at that time, so I do not take it so seriously.

But for my sports betting account, yet, I take careful account of it, but still, it is not as much as that. What I do is to always be conversant with the money I have there, and I divide them into 10 equal parts to bet independently. Even at times, if the money therein is much and I do not want to withdraw, I divide it into more larger parts like 15 equal parts so that my risk would have been reduced. Nonetheless, I do not gamble for the purpose of increasing my status like you. All that matters to me in gambling are two; 1)More winning and 2) Increased account size.

It's been like two years now that I have grown fond of gambling, even though I did it only when I have that spare money that I can afford to lose in gambling, since the beginning of my gambling activities and till today, I've never look back to do some calculation on how much I've spent on gambling.

I don't need to do this because it's pointless to me, the only thing that requires me noting it down is my investments, and that's because I spend a lot of money in investment, that sweat and stress is enough and worthy for me to note down, it's not the same in gambling.

I do gambling with small money, the amount that those who want to make the biggest money from gambling will never want to use, but I don't mind, because I have a different goal in gambling and that's not even close to making a life changing money from gambling, I can make it from my investments, and that's why I pour more money, better money into investment than gambling.

People will feel frustrated if they see that their losses have cost them a lot of money, and there may be a desire to recover them. But they know that it will not be easy to do so because they have the possibility of experiencing more losses, so the number of losses will increase. When the losses get bigger, they will become more frustrated and perhaps unable to accept it, making them even more eager to continue gambling. If this is the case, they will only get deeper into gambling and find it difficult to stop gambling, and they may even become addicted to gambling. That's what people should avoid when gambling, and they should always limit their gambling activities so they don't experience more losses.

Gambling progress in what manner exactly?, are you talking about a gambler tracking his or her progress like in keeping tabs of his or her winnings and loses? So as to be able to tell at the end of the day, week or month whether he or she(the gambler) made more wins than loses, or more loses than wins?

If the above is exactly what you mean by the question you asked, I would first start by saying that your question lack enough information, and when next time you are asking a question, try and make sure it contains enough information as possible, so as not to get your readers and answers confused.

Now, to what you asked, I've some times been keeping such tabs by constantly tracking my progress, but in recent times, I've completely stopped, reason being that, I am like more busy at the moment and don't gamble that often anymore, and my gambling right now is mostly for having fun sake, and not for monetary rewards, so, I need no need tracking my gambling progress in such regard.

As a gambler every gambler hopes for good results in gambling. In that case I think it's good to track gambling progress occasionally. Gambling strategies and patterns become easier to understand by tracking them. With the right knowledge one can enjoy all the excitement of online gambling. Various online casinos offer information and resources about the legality of online gambling so they have the advantage of being tracked to ensure a smooth and worry free experience. Also remember that gambling regulations are subject to change so it's wise to stay updated on any developments.

Only those who are easily swayed to addiction or limited funds need to track their progress, but in my case, I never track my progress using any application or spreadsheets, I track everything in my mind, and all these tools and spreadsheets are of no use if you cannot manage your bankroll properly and you cannot control your urge to gamble or to stop playing when you need to stop playing.
I believe when it comes to gambling, control is in the mind not on application tools or spreadsheets, you need to set up a system and you should stick to that system no matter so you will not get astray or lose control in your gambling.

I've done it once, and this was an eye opening period for me, that was when I knew that I was risking too much on gambling, I got mad at myself and I reduce the amount even more lower.

Sometimes we really can't afford some things, even when we are getting a lot more and we think we can handle the spending, it's a lie, since a little drop of water makes a mighty ocean, every small amount you spend on gambling counts, it's very important to stay withing your means and do only what you can afford to.

Today I use less money but I don't want to keep looking back anymore, I know someone who is no more a gambler today because he calculated how much he have risked on gambling in a year and he regretted it, saying he could have save up the whole amount instead.  

I disagree that tools and spreadsheets are only for addicts and bankrupts. Consider: concrete tracking helps even the most disciplined minds. Why? About objectivity. Though powerful, the mind is biased and emotional.

Tools and spreadsheets show your gaming behavior objectively. They strengthen your control by delivering a reality check that even the most disciplined gambler may miss. Like a professional player analyzing game tapes to improve, it takes impartial analysis.

Fun gambling also involves responsibility. Though a mental system is admirable, external checks are essential. They demonstrate strategic acumen, not weakness.

;D ;D what made me laughed is you saying you reduced the amount you gamble with more lower.
However, that's good as you have known that it's not a good way to win when you are tracking ones success on gambling.
Tracking a fellow gamblers success can make you gamble more mostly when the gambler is a type that stake higher amount and when he also wins you might want to stake higher also.
Moreover there is nothing to regret there as you haven't sold a property to gamble rather you are using your own funds.

In my opinion, tracking the development of the gambling we do is also an important thing for us to do, but actually I have never done it because currently I have never experienced anything strange when playing gambling and I enjoy it, but maybe one day I will. do to track my gambling progress with the aim of making it safer and making me more confident in carrying out and enjoying every gambling game.

You have a strategy? Splitting funds and monitoring accounts is OK until it's not. Let's be honest: gambling in casinos or sports involves more than managing wins and losses. Understanding each bet's purpose. You say you don't take your casino account "so seriously" but methodically handle your sports betting. Why the divide?

Though cautious, your approach skirts the illusion of control. Keeping wagering limits low and segmenting cash are methods, not strategies. The true challenge is accepting randomness and making informed decisions. Not only dividing money into portions; why? Why that distribution? Sustainable, responsible engagement that doesn't merge hobby and hazard is the goal, not greater prizes or a bigger account

I agree with you, maybe if you gamble to make a profits then tracking your progress so far in gambling is a good thing and needs to be done because you can prevent yourself from making the same mistakes, by looking at your progress, you can learn about what strategy will you play so that you can determine your chances of winning, even though it is completely inseparable from luck, there is no harm if you keep doing that.

Yes, various online casinos have indeed implemented advances regarding regulations that must be adhered to, and we also have to be able to understand them. Apart from that, we also have to keep track of the latest information so that we don't miss out on information because this will determine our progress in term of the gambling we play, tracking gambling progress is very necessary if you gamble to achieve victory and profits.

Indeed, gambling progress is quite important to track, especially variables such as what we spend while gambling but that good habit does not seem to be maintained by the vast majority of gamblers because entertainment should not be accompanied by such seriousness, more precisely, people still want to win but still need to have fun and reduce seriousness, they don't want to face this problem like a stressful job. In addition, laziness and rest, limiting the release of energy are what I find very common in modern society, that leaves this tracking habit forgotten in a dark corner

Tracking our gambling activities will probably only make us think about recovering the losses we have suffered. We will see the many defeats we have experienced so that there is a feeling of not being able to accept the defeat.
That will make us want to recover from the loss slowly, but we will see that it is difficult. We might experience defeat again and could even spend all the money we have.
We will feel pressure when we see the defeat numbers listed in the report, which will make us stressed and want to return to gambling. That is the risk we experience if we cannot prevent more and more losses.

I don't get it, how can you know the amount you've spent in total and monitor your spending by just looking at the total amount you've wagered when the total wagered amount doesn't show the amount you've spent but the overall bets you've made? For example, if you have deposited $50, and made 4 $10 bets on the dice game with 2x odds, you lost the first bet and then won 3 bets and now have a total balance of $70. You make 11 more bets, win the first 2 bets, and then have a loss streak and lose all your balance.

Now, if you look at the total amount you've wagered, it will be $150, why? Because you have made a total of 15 bets worth $10 each which is equal to $150, how much money did you deposit? $50. This means that you can't determine how much money you've spent so far by looking at the total wagered amount.

No because I rarely gamble nowadays but invest in casino bankroll, which in another form can be accepted as a mode of gambling too because I am being the house and I am exposing my invested money to the high rollers chance of winning form. I havent been tracking them but they are currently giving my profits.

My previous investment on cryptogames yielded 50% over a year. My current investments are running in positives, though I will not declare the exact numbers.

For gambling addicts, these type of things are what they are allergic to. ;D

The only way that we could really be able to make ourselves be winner is on the time that we do invest on gamlbing sites bankroll on which we do know that house do always win at the end on which means that
investing in line with the house is the most smartest way i should say if we are really that mindful about making money but of course it wouldnt really be  that much of return or simply its not really that like when you do literally doing gambling on which we know that returns would be high but it is really that too risky i should say or something that we do all know.

Speaking about having those tracking then the only thing i do track is on the money or amount of funds that i've been spending. If i do saw that i already spend up all the allocated
funds for that gambling session then it would really be just that right that you should be stopping immediately and wont really be going overboard.

A spreadsheet will be the answer. Strange or not, it's nice to keep track of your gambling records. Most who do this are in sports betting though because I surely doubt it's hard to do in casino games unless we are betting large amounts in just one go. That without a doubt should be recorded.
However, some gamblers don't like this because they like to just freely bet whenever they want and entertainment is their main purpose before profits. So, there's no need to keep track of the records and I think that's a good thing too.
Monitoring the losses could make a gambler lose his cool so maybe they are also avoiding that so there won't be any stress in their life. But for those who are betting on sports frequently, I think tracking it is a good approach just so we can have a summary of everything and we can identify our mistakes and our losses. I mean, it's also a good learning point and it adds to filtering the teams or players that we are betting for, so that maybe next time we can avoid making the same mistake again. Some teams or players are good on paper but when it comes to battling their rivals, the results may be different.

It is true, some gamblers cannot do this because they are too comfortable with the gambling games they play that they forget and are not aware that they have to monitor the progress of their gambling, although not all the time. Yes, gambling should be enjoyed for fun and entertainment, seriousness should only be used if he needs it.

The majority of gamblers don't do this. Very few gamblers who do everything in a much more organized manner do this. These gamblers used to be very cautious in their activities and never spend beyond their limits, and the tracking helps them stay within the limits. Apart from this, people who have the addiction problem should follow it, because the same could help them in self-realization and stay away from gambling atleast for short time period.

Like monitoring several gambling bets that are made, but it will only run according to the rhythm of the game and who will win will come out at the end. Gambling being an entertainment will make someone forget that they are risking their money in it, but some controls need to be exercised too, using funds that are not forced and capable of losing these funds.

Yes, sometimes people forget their understanding of gambling because they are carried away by the rhythm of the atmosphere there and it is true that what you say must be balanced with good self-control as a complement and risking money according to our own abilities without anything else. if not. elements of coercion from other people.


Yes, only certain people can do it, because they feel safe, according to them it is not that important, but if one day they will definitely monitor the development of their gambling to be more careful, and for people who are already addicted to gambling. . they have to do that because it is important for them not to make further fatal mistakes.

How can you know this, what you are basing it on, an experience of sensations, that's why you believe it.
Anyway, if you are in a casino that offers the function, you can monitor even by game. 

Then, there are most (recognized) crypto casinos offer tracking statistics. They exist because players use them.

In the case of poker, these monitoring is normal, even if the casino does not do it, there is third-party monitoring software.


No and not.

It does not help the addict, the patient must leave the game, this type of monitoring helps the healthy, normal player, if someone suspects addiction they should seek professional help and not pretend that monitoring will help them.

Rich people obviously don’t do this. For then gambling is like another source of recreation. They gamble in order to chill with the friends. For them whether it’s a win or loss doesn’t matter at all. But yes a middle class guy like me, do keep records of the bets that I made. I try to recover the losses that I made through gambling. I also gamble with extreme caution, and see all the possibilities before actually placing the bet.

"Gambling Progress"? Is there a thing like that? Maybe I should replace that with the term "Gambling Improvement" where the simplest definition would be, the more I gamble, the more I think of better ways and strategies how to deal with the risks.

What kind of tracking are you referring to? The Win/Loss percentage on a given period? I don't know what's the benefit of tracking that especially on the part of how much money I lose in total daily, weekly, monthly, and so on.

I don't want my gambling experience too technical if, on my part, I know how to play with the risks.

I would guess that this is not a matter of how much money you can gamble, but the nature of the games you like to play, so a great deal of the statistics you could get could be useless for games that are completely based on your luck, as you should know your win ratio even before making your first bet.

But when it comes to games in which your skill matters, keeping track of the results you have obtained can tell you if you have been improving over time or if instead your skills are getting worse.

What the advantage when tracking with our gambling progress, we know risk with gambling and losses potential then already how much money spending for gambling without has ideas checking or tracking how much fund invested in gambling.
I think bad ideas if some one tracking their gambling progress exactly as addict in gambling will get pressure and stress how much money spending or losses in gambling.

Take have fun first when gambling and you don't care for tracking with your gambling progress or how much money losses in gambling, but if you want stop totally with gambling its not really bad ideas for the future how to make your financial become stable and not much spending for gambling.

The benefit of tracking gambling progress is to know how much money we deposit and withdraw. We will see how much money that we already used. But if you can't manage your feeling, you will be sad seeing your loss because your loss can be bigger than your winning. We also know how much average money we used to playing gambling in weekly or monthly so we can decide what next to do. Besides that, we can feel stress when we see the loss, and there will be a desire to recover the lost if we can't handle our emotion.

I don't track my gambling progress because that can make me sad seeing the money I used to gambling. For playing gambling, I don't use much money in weekly or monthly, so I don't need to do that.

I totally agree with fM (it's becoming a custom).

First of all, I think that tracking isn't worth it for all games: the more the game relies on luck, the less what the metrics say is worth it. But I understand why poker, and also blackjack players can be interested in monitoring their performance in time.

So I don't think they help in most cases and, in the case of a developing addiction, they may be even worse, because analysing these data means more time thinking about gambling, which is the last thing you need to avoid developing an obsession.

Then what's next? I still don't understand how it became a benefit if we track how much money we already deposit and withdraw. I see, maybe for financial reference Just in case we want to check the amount of money we used overall? But to call it a benefit, I don't understand.

Why there's no benefit? Because winning or losing, the end action will still be the same, continue to gamble.

If a gambler tracks his losses and notices it as alarming, it might result in a purpose to chase those losses.
If a gambler tracks his winnings and notices it as interesting, it might result in continuing to gamble because they are winning.

Overall, it seems yes, I would agree with your statement that rich people use or treat gambling more as a place to entertain themselves when they have free time amidst their busy lives, one of the reasons that makes me believe in this idea is because logically they have rich in the sense that they already have a way to make money so that they can achieve good financial results in their lives and this could be the reason why more rich people use gambling as a place of recreation.

It is unlikely for them to record how much they have lost or won because for them gambling is not an important activity so for them it is not necessary to keep records, I am not forbidding rich people from recording their gambling activities because after all this is an action that It's good to know the results and if it turns out that the number of losses is much greater then we can decide to reduce the gambling activities that we do and this is good because it leads to preventive measures, but overall this is more recommended for ordinary gamblers who have a middle class background. in their lives or in the sense that they are not rich because with this they will know that gambling is draining their money slowly without them realizing it and with this they will be able to realize that it is better to stop gambling or at least reduce it. On the other hand, I don't really agree with your idea of "trying to recover losses by gambling" because this is too dangerous and what will happen is that you will lose more money.

Once you started to monitor your gambling progress, there are chances you are most definitely going to start to lose your sense of fun in gambling and your focus will gradually tend towards recovery in cases where you have lost more than you have won and then in cases where you have win a lot you would want to increase your stakes because you will feel you have mastered it a whole lot Eno to get on winning more so you would better just increase your stake and win even more than you have been doing before and you are then standing a high risk of addiction if you are not disciplined enough to get self control.

Gambling for fun and enjoyment would literally make you not really care about how much has been lost because at that point what matters most is if you are having fun well enough and that's what will make you not make a biig deal out of the whole gambling situation.

Tracking gambling? This is the first sign you're deeper than you imagined. The thrill of the game is seductive, but when it becomes fixation, it's a risky game worth not betting on. Are you in charge, conquering gambling? Rethink. That's the delusion whispering just one more win. Casual betting can lead to gambling, chasing losses, and raising stakes. Self-control pulls you out of addiction, not simply helps.

Do not romanticize gambling for fun. It's fun until the cash runs out. Then what?! When regret reigns, what's the fun? Know the worth of what you're risking (money, time, relationships) not just not caring about losses. Gambling should never overshadow life's jackpots.

Gambling is for fun, not for income, but you need to know that to have fun we must have good control so as not to gamble excessively. If there is no good control then the aim of gambling for fun will lead us to destruction because what is said is true, if someone feels happy, everything in front of their eyes will have a bad impact on their life, they will not see or just ignore it. , because he was carried away by the happy atmosphere. However, if this is balanced with strong self-control, they will also think it's time to stop.

The benefit is for introspect what we have done related to our gambling  activity. If we can think clear about that, we will realize that we already used too much money and we want to reduce the money. If we can accepted it, we will still on our track and plan in playing gambling and not trying to use more money. But if we have intention to recover the losses, we will try to deposit more money and continue playing gambling. That can make us to playing gambling excessively without thinking about the losses that we can get.

But for people who doesn't think that is benefit, they don't have to track their winning or losing. I don't track my winning or losing but I feel that I already loss much than the win. I can only limit my budget to playing gambling and not playing gambling too often to avoid losing more money.  Every people will have their decision to track their gambling progress or not because they will have their own purpose to do that.

It's true what you say, we should gamble just for fun, and I agree with what you say. If in order to gamble which is basically for fun, we must have good self-control, and also with the right assumptions or thoughts, don't make the mistake of treating gambling by thinking that gambling is something that can make money for sure, of course that's not the case. That's right, if you gamble for fun, in my opinion we have to have a positive motive, not a motive to make money by gambling, because if that's the case, what will most likely happen is addiction.

That's true, if gambling is balanced with strong self-control, maybe we can be aware and stop after winning or losing. because it is clear that many people cannot stop gambling because they do not have good self-control, so they fall deeper into gambling that causes losses. I myself gamble, but I never think about gambling that has passed or losses that have been obtained, because in my opinion there will be no benefit. do gambling as best as possible so as not to damage our lives including our finances.

If we can carry out this behavior correctly then gambling will not make our lives miserable, but the feeling of happiness we get from gambling is just entertainment for ourselves and we still maintain good control over every gambling game we play.
However, people who already make mistakes in their behavior when gambling will definitely experience a lot of problems in their lives because it could be that they are not just having fun but also looking for income and this is clearly wrong and has consequences. still very doubtful. .

Glad that someone agrees with what I'm saying on that one, it's really difficult to do progress tracking anyway if it doesn't involve any kind of benefit from you, although I'm different with you about the breaking even with the loses, that could be a big difference and I think that you should stop more than me when it comes to tracking your gambling progress, you're the destructive kind of gambler that will try to get their hands on as much break even as they can which is an unhealthy thing unlike me that just gets depressed and frustrated. It's a miracle that you were able to even stop doing that if you ask me because I feel like the way that you would feel about your gambling progress would make you obsessed into tracking it even more.

Yes, sometimes I myself do not pay attention to the gambling that I do lose and win, so the assumptions given are only a speculation based on what has been felt not on the latest data on gambling history, what funds I feel are mostly more defeats than wins and only that without seeing how much money is lost due to seeking entertainment from gambling.

Maybe now I should look more often at gambling history and who loses actually based on the word, but for control I think it is enough with money management, I think it is enough to control the flow of money for gambling.

I gamble mainly for entertainment. As I gamble for fun there is no need to track my gambling progress. If I used gambling as a means of making money and I was a professional gambler I would need to track my gambling progress. Professional gamblers who spend a lot of time gambling have a need for gambling progress tracking.

Never develop doubts when you're in the gambling system, anything can happen at any point in time. There are games available that we seem familiar with and that's our lucky shots to trigger in the system, though it have 50/50 chances of either hitting harder profits or not. Gambling is very risky, anything we do is at our own risk. It's advisable to gamble what we can afford to lose in the system and not the other way round. We keep our expectations high whenever we found ourselves in the space, we look for substantial odds to make good use for with relevant amount of money.

Gambling is indeed a very risky activity and it's important to go into it with the right knowledge and expectations and to be aware of the potential consequences. Many people are caught up with fantasy of securing a very big win, simply because they hear that people are making it big through gambling and they also wanna be part of this huge win so they increase their risks and thereby decreasing their chances of winning, and this is exactly what attracts loses a lot. So it's only fair to be realistic and know that the chances in gambling are very slim and then know the right approach to employ.

Yes, I agree with you, if we can gamble properly, maybe nothing bad will happen to us, many people experience big losses and other bad impacts because they gamble more than normal limits. The self-control that we have determines the future of gambling that we do. If we cannot have good self-control then there is a big possibility of big problems and bad impacts that could happen and happen to us. but it happened because of your own actions so don't try to blame other people.

I think it's clear, if they gamble not for fun, in other words they gamble with the aim of making money of course that will be a problem for themselves, where they will lose self-control which can make them trapped in a cycle of gambling addiction and Maybe it will last for a long time if they are not aware of the losses, which can also last a long time and cannot be avoided There are consequences for every thing, but it depends on us who respond to it and do it.

Some people tend to have this habit of keeping records of everything they do, whether it's spending money, doing some work, visiting places, and every other thing that others might not even think of keeping records about. When it comes to gambling, such people record everything they do starting from the initial budget, the amount of money deposited for each session, money won and lost, and the amount of money withdrawn if any.

They think that such records are useful to evaluate how you are doing a certain thing and I agree with this, however, if you are gambling just for fun and spending money that you can easily afford to lose, you don't really need to have a record for that since you play today, and don't even think about it tomorrow because there are no excessive funds lost.

Having a record is a must thing to have on which this would really be that relevant in real life conditions or situations on which it would really be something that needed specially when you are running
a business or investment on which those track would really be something crucial. Also in other things on which you would really needing to monitor and since we are speaking about gambling then
it would be also that relevant that you do have a track on how much you have already that spent.Although not all people would really be that mindful on this aspect because checking out those numbers are really just that heightening their dedication to play up even more due on seeing that much higher loses than winning. So its a normal human being intuition about on having that recovery thoughts on which we know that this is something not that recommended.

There's some cons and there are pros on this stuff.

Cons.
1. Once you are aware about on how much you lost then you would be trying to chase it out.
2. Chasing on breaking even
3. You are targeting a particular stop point when it comes to wager amount

Pros.
1. You are are on how much you have spent
2. Set maximum risks tolerance

It does really depend on a certain individual because if you do make yourself mindful on controlling yourself
in dealing up with gambling then neither of both things is something you have already monitored out.

In very straightforward question, do you really think a lot of gamblers are keeping the records of their gambling expenditures? I don't think so. For one, it is time consuming and is not sustainable activity. Maybe, you can do it at the beginning of your gambling journey but more then likely, you will forget it as soon as you are seeing the numbers.

And besides, in most casinos or bookies, you can easily check your deposit and withdrawal history. So there's no need for you to do it on your own and be stressed about it. Also, much better approach is to just deposit what you can afford so you have no worries if you lose it all or not.


But even these gamblers, I don't think they are doing such meticulous recording of their funds going in or out because that's actually tedious. Just monitor their deposits and withdrawals from their history and they will understand where they are sitting at in terms of financial loss or wins.

I see this to be the highest form of discipline: if a gambler tends to become professional, he needs to acquire the skills in making records of whatever ticket he wagers.

---

otherwise if you don't wanna follow that due process, how do you run your checks and balances? How do you know if you're winning or losing even during each big wins?.. The professionalism in there isn't about staking so many tickets to see if it cuts - it's about knowing how much you've wagered already in the past - That'd prove to you if you're winning or losing..

Yeah that's true because it's obviously those that gamble for professional means that would need to track their success and loses because you are probably using it as a business and thats why you need to keep record but I really don't like that because you might get loss and even frustrated because of the possible losses that you would have gotten from playing gambling but I don't know if there is a difference to those that take the habit as a professional though.

It could be that with doubt, we often make uncertain mistakes because doubt triggers a lack of self-confidence in us when gambling. and what you say is true, our luck depends on the system there, we cannot force ourselves to get that luck even if we try to pursue it.
It is very true what you say that gambling has very high risks. We must be ready to face anything that may happen to us at any time. We must be ready to accept it.

This is not applicable to me as I only gamble to kill time. Tracking the progress including the wins and losses will just give me a bad feeling of why I spend my money in gambling instead of buying something. Thus, much better to play and forget rather than dwelling on the past.

Anyway, for someone who only gamble to entertain themselves, I don't think this is necessary unless you're playing because you want to make money (so the progress is crucial). It might have an advantage for other gamblers but in my case, it's not a good idea as it can only lead to disappointment.

I would guess there could still be some people that gamble for the fun of it and that will still want to keep track of the results of their bets, after all a sport bettor that engages on the activity simply to enhance the fun of watching their favorite team is not going to like losing all the time.

So for them keeping track of their bets makes sense, since if they do not know how many times they have won or lost, there is no way for them to tell if they have been improving on their ability to predict the outcome of the sport they like.

maybe I'm one of those who bet for fun but still track the progress of the gambling I do but it's very rare and depends on what game I play for example in casino betting I usually track the progress of my bets but in sports betting I almost never track my betting progress.
the reason I almost never track progress in sports betting or casinos is because it sometimes makes me depressed after seeing the total amount of losses and wins that I have made previously.

maybe every gambler has a different mindset but they have the same thing in terms of not looking at the progress of their bets because in the end sometimes it makes us bet under pressure which makes us unable to enjoy every bet we make so the main choice for bettors is usually just to bet without tracking the progress of the bet.
except for professional gamblers looking for profits from sports betting, they usually always track betting progress to measure how much profit and loss they have made so that professional gamblers will continue to try to make bets to cover these losses.

Actually, I take gambling for only the purpose of entertainment not like the earing sources. So it is generally ok for me to not tracking my gambling progress. I also don't have any habit before butstill I have a note on my google keeps some of my wins. I don't know how you called it. But generally I don't tack my gambling progress.

People who keep progress of their sessions usually are people who look at the data which most of the time are in red losing money over the long run.By doing so they are also much prone to quit gambling and many of people who have quit gambling and are out of gambling for good.So if you really just want to have fun there is no need to keep track of your progress.

If gambling session tracking helps other people quit gambling, does that mean it can also help people with gambling addictions? But usually when a person is addicted to gambling, they don't care if they win or lose.but there's nothing wrong with tracking gambling sessions especially if a person is used to managing expenses, and I think that's a good thing for people to be smarter in budgeting expenses.

I don't have the habit to track the gambling progress because, I gamble for fun purpose and it give me more joy to eliminate some issues that is disturbing me sometime and, any day I will have the opportunity to win from my gambling, it will be a day of flexing which some of my guys can testify about that in my environment.

If your time has come to win big money from your gambling, you track your gambling progress or you don't track your gambling progress it will happen and, many gamblers don't have the time to track than to look for way to apply new strategy that will make their luck come to reality to win big money.

Gambling remains the same regardless of tracking. Losses generally outweigh rewards in this dangerous venture. You admit to depression after seeing your documents. You also emphasize a gambler's dilemma: pressure against pleasure. It's about knowing your psychological trap, not only fun or professional rewards

Ignoring your betting progress blinds you to your finances, not saves you. You're risking your mind and wallet. Professional gamblers track bets for profit and control. They recognize that knowledge is power, even after losses. Ignoring your gaming results is yielding to pressure

Face this fact. Gambling without tracking is like walking a tightrope blindfolded. The choice is conscious decision-making or wild abandon, not tracking

I still think that it makes sense to keep track of your bets even when gambling for fun, and this is because even that kind of gambler needs to make sure to not spend more money than what they can afford, but how this can be done?

By keeping track of your win and losses, now most casinos have made this an automatic process, but if you gamble in more than one casino then you need to look at all of that data and see how you have been doing during a particular period in time, and to do that you have no option but to take notes and manually track your progress this way.

Tracking your wins and loses for the purpose of knowing your overall profit and loss in gambling is a good thing but it is more suited to those who bet with small amounts, who are responsible gamblers and hence they will either be in profits or their loss will not be significant. This tracking will further help them be cautious and play with even more planning.

Now coming to the the gamblers who aren't responsible ones, who will be gambling with emotions and putting big money in some bets in the hope to make good profits. These people's overall loss is usually high and if they calculate their profit and loss in gambling, they may come to know about their big losses in gambling. This may make them even more emotional and they may start to revenge gamble, This is even more harmful for them as excessive gamble to recover the loss never turns to be fruitful. For such people, i don't think that tracking the gambling progress could be a good idea.

Keeping tracks on the winnings and loses just doesn't seem proper for me, a gambler can be easily become the main threat to himself without him having a clue or knowing about the system. There's no contrary stimulated actions to gamble on games without eligible possession of techniques. Our progress in the system shouldn't be noticed because there's whole lot to learn from the system. I've witnessed the volatility of the gambling system and its weigh bigger than what any one of could possibly imagine. Keeping tracks on bets are not always easy because it becomes complex when we're failing to meet up the target.

Many gamblers do not usually track their gambling progress. But I think it's a great habit to have, as it can help you track and monitor your spending, winnings and losses. Seeing if you are within your budget and limits. And can help make informed decisions and identify your gambling habits.

Yes, of course it is very rare for a gambler to record their losses because every gambler will of course continue to place their bets if they cannot control their gambling desires and I think it is very difficult to be able to fight the gambling system but we can limit gambling activities so that we do not continue to do so. continuously which uses up all the income we have, if we have a good technique for gambling then there will be a possibility that we can win the bet and will not gamble continuously and if we have set a target for the game we are playing it would be better for us to take a little victory for us to enjoy.

I simply buy to this , it's definitely a fun game and at such it shouldn't be taken or put into much thoughts as it will only unlock some old memories of your losses.
I don't really have that habit of tracking such progress because a lot times when I do so I end up regretting ever making such decisions of gambling and it will results to altering my mindset for another set goals to achieve.but sometimes tracking your progress helps you to ascertain or track your income used in gambling so you would be aware of what your spending for a particular period and be discipline in it.

Do you have a habit of tracking your gambling progress? Sometimes yes sometime don't but Gambling sites nowadays had a gambling progress and you can even send your bet slip.

But I remember back in the day I played Crash on moneypot now the sites are long gone and feel so desperate after watch the gambling progress here some picture hahah

I don't really think gamblers track their gambling habits, but if you are talking about watching your gambling spending so that it wouldn't affect your finance, then I believe that most gamblers, I mean the responsible one does that often.

As for me, I don't really care how my gambling habits progreses, what I am more concerned about is gambling only what I can afford to lose, because by doing so, I will be able to curtails it influence on me, and it can never lead to addiction by doing so.

The fact that this is done automatically in the casino is what I like because I like to track the progress of my winnings or losses. To be honest, I’m generally obsessed with statistics, even when I played online poker I had the Hold’em Manager 2 program (probably poker players know it). So there were a lot of statistics, even some that seemed unnecessary, but from time to time it was interesting to watch. Of course, the most important indicators for me were my winnings and losses during the playing session. And also my winnings per month, although it is worth recognizing that for a poker player with a small number of hands, the month may be negative. But the most pleasant thing is to look at the graph for the year in $ which is moving up; of course, this only exists for professional players.

Now I don't play poker, but only make small bets, I understand that over time I begin to lose interest in tracking my wins and losses. I'm more interested in the process itself in the moment.

that's true, perhaps the goal is like that because it makes sense to know your overall profits and losses in gambling, but I don't think every gambler does this, in fact I think it's very rare for anyone to do this, because when they think In gambling, they most likely only think about winning, so they can also forget or ignore other things besides the gambling they are doing. It's true what you said, maybe this is only done by intelligent gamblers, where they always pay attention to every money they lose and gain in gambling, in my opinion this includes fairly good money management, because not everyone can do it well. and maybe this is one way to gamble carefully.

That's what happens in many cases, of the many gamblers, I'm sure 9 out of 10 gamblers are irresponsible gamblers, gambling with uncontrolled emotions and without good self-control. This is always a big problem and happens most often. In fact, in my opinion, if they had to compare the number of losses and the number of wins, what they could calculate is the wins, not the losses, because in my opinion the losses definitely happen often and of course the number is greater than the number of wins they get while gambling. I agree with you, because some people don't care about this.

Yes you are right, I myself gamble in many casinos and have to check one by one to see how much money I have spent in gambling, and add it up, I only do it once because it is very boring, because the definite conclusion is that we have more losses than wins.

As the name suggests, gambling is a place to find entertainment, and entertainment is where we have to spend money, not to make money, although I have earned quite a lot of money from gambling in some sessions, but it can't eliminate my laziness to total everything lol.

It is automatic, and sometimes there are those who send reports to your email about the money you put in gambling automatically every month.

After gambling i don't find it very important to keep any records. We can take various decisions in trading by doing normal data analysis but if I try to win with past data in gambling, I can't take any good decisions because there is luck involved. Everything is uncertain in gambling rather keeping data will have some negative effects such as if a gambler loses a lot of money then he will try to recover that money or his regret will increase there. He will face loss rather than gain in many ways. I think there is no need to keep such records. But it is not bad if a gambler wants to emphasise money management by keeping a record of his total losses in his long gambling life.

Ofc I totally agree with you on that. Keeping tabs on your gambling can really give you a reality check. No questions. It's like having a mini accountability buddy to keep you in check. Plus, it's a good way to see if you're on a winning streak or if it's time to call it a day. Every gampler need to stay sharp with those numbers.

Its like you are just giving yourself a stress for tracking up or counting your win/loss records and we might feel challenge if we know that we are losing that's why I'd better of checking with it then continue to gamble normally just like what I do regularly on a casino since it didn't give me any pressure.

But for other want to keep their record well there's nothing wrong about it and its up for people if they want to know their result since there are some people want to see what's happening on their gaming session and to know what to do next after they track the stats of the game they usually play.

Not a lot to be fair, I mean I do it a bit in the sense that I can see the price, I know how much of my deposit is left, if that's the case yeah then I am aware of it. But not like I go into details and see which days I did how much and so forth I do not know in detail like that. It snot something I cared about all too much and I am guessing that it is going to be something that will take a while as well.

The best thing to do in this case would be just ignore all of those and have fun. When you turn it into a mathematical question, then you are not making money anyway so it would also lose the fun aspect of it as well. I just consider it as something to do for fun and that is why it gets a lot better with me over time, that is why I ignore it.

Don't need to, what's the point of doing it anyway? I might be just lazy but in my opinion, tracking your gambling progress seems to me like a chore, you're supposed to be having fun playing games right? Ain't no way that I'd make something that makes me happy become something that frustrates me to the point that I'd rather go find another hobby or recreational activity because when I gamble, I always think about that stuff about my losses and wins. To everyone that wants to try tracking your progress, make sure that you keep your emotions in check so you don't become what I've just said.

And the total of course.
That way, we would know how much we already spent on gambling. It's a bad habit, so maybe we can realize that we are spending too much and all that money could've been allocated for a different important purpose instead of our entertainment.
This is where people could start to quit gambling. When everything was written in a spreadsheet and noticed that there had been thousands of dollars of money wasted.

I remember my boss before doing this kind of method against me.
Counting the number of cigarettes I've taken the whole day and multiplying it by the number of days in a year. I was shocked for a bit when he did the math but I still never stopped smoking that moment. It was only when my kids were born that I stopped it because I remembered what he said. All that money could be dedicated to their school fees and other necessities which is also another reason why I stopped in addition to trying to be healthy.

In my case, I track my gambling progress because of a different reason. History basis in sports so that I could increase my chance to win.

Tracking your record might sounds stressful but it will help you to have a general overview on what’s your current status with your gambling activity. It will show you how much you already spend in gambling including loss/profit that will help you evaluate your gambling activity that will reflect to proper bankroll management.

I’m always doing this but in monthly basis not in total expenses since I don’t have record anymore on my gambling activity when I’m newbie. Having a monthly record will help you if you need to reduce your gambling expenses or not.

Some gamblers tracking their gambling progress to knowing how much they using money to gamble. But that doesn't mean they will want to stop playing gambling because some of them decide to recover their lost that they gets from gambling. If they thinks about recover their lose, they will difficult getting their money back because gambling is not make money place. They can get more losses if they can't limits their money and that can makes them frustrates. We don't have to track our gambling progress to avoid feeling sad because seeing our lose in gambling. We don't have to used gambling for having fun because many other activities that we can used to having fun.

Tracking the gambling process or not does not make any way forward for me to have a more better experience while gambling, and i don't think i have that kind of time to be wasting in checking or going through some of these past experience i already have with some gambling platforms, once we are playing bet on what we are good at, we are going to make best of time in having fun in it and that alone is an experience we will always want to have or remember with gambling, this is more about the performances we had in each successful gambling experience.

Reviewing or tracking one's own progress in gambling and in every game we bet on, for me that is an obligation that must be done, That way we will know which games are suitable and which are not to be played in the future.

The game is a game of chance, of course by tracking I will know the game [1] is like this and the game [2] is like this, sometimes we often bet on games that make us lose and vice versa make a profit, By considering the game it will make us think about what is good and bad, in essence, yes, we have to track it.

. It takes discipline and planning like running a business. Unfortunately, most gamblers dont think this way. They ignore their losses to pursue the big gain. Mindset and discipline issues turn a measured risk into a reckless gamble.

The good news is that acknowledging the issue is the first step to fixing it. Gamblers who keep precise records of their wins and losses respect gambling. Its about seeing the big picture, not sacrificing excitement. Good money management and self-awareness are signs of an intelligent gambler.

Unfortunately, smart gamblers are few. Most people act on impulse without considering the repercussions. Uncontrolled gambling causes more loses than winnings. It doesnt have to be. Even impulsive gamblers can improve their luck with a mentality change and disciplined gambling. Making good choices, being informed, and minding the balance sheet are key. You gamble responsibly and stand out that way.

You are right, though ops question is rather confusing if we I should be honest, for he didn't mention the type of tracking he meant, but let me assume that the tracking he meant is following up on our bets and possibly keeping records of our wins and loses which also is keeping track of the games we lost, and the ones we win.

If the above is what op meant, which is also what I understand from your reply here, I would say that it's totally necessary, though I won't lie that for me, I mostly don't remember some of this things, or count them as important, for when someone is gambling majorly for fun, he or she may not found find such habit as keeping their game record necessary, but for those who are gambling as a means of making money, this is definitely a must do.

But on the other hand, it's also important to understand that a game you played today and lost, and possibly resolved never to play that game again, may be the game you may have to play tomorrow to win.

Actually, that's the purpose of tagging as FAVORITE in slot games. Aside from remembering the name of the game, we can sort out what slots should only be played by us as of course we will not tagged as FAVORITE those slot games that we have bad results of playing.

Some bettors are just randomly picking a slot game and if luck comes on that game they will be carried away with the winnings and might forget the name of the slot game they recently played with. They will now check it on betting history and upon knowing the name of that slot they will now find it on the game list and will tag it as FAVORITE for easy access in future playing.

As far as I know, when gambling there is never more time to track our bets. because in the casino time is very limited and there will be no time to record it.
Maybe only when you finish playing and leave the casino will you be able to record how much capital you had when you entered the casino, and how much remaining money you took home.
maybe only that kind of tracking can be done. and I think it's normal and many people do it.

Gambling, when approached responsibly, can be a form of entertainment that offers a chance to win alongside the thrill of competition. However, responsible gambling necessitates a proactive approach to managing your financial stake. Here's where tracking your gambling progress comes into play, offering significant benefits beyond simply monitoring wins and losses.

While some may find tracking their losses discouraging, it can be a valuable tool for managing emotions. By acknowledging losses as part of the inherent risk in gambling, you can avoid the urge to chase those losses with further wagers. This reduces emotional decision-making, promoting a more rational approach.

Tracking is not a reflection of enjoyment. You can certainly enjoy the occasional wager without meticulously tracking every penny. However, for those who want to maintain a sustainable gambling experience, tracking offers valuable insights and fosters responsible financial management. It's about awareness and control, allowing you to gamble for entertainment without jeopardizing your financial well-being.

Indeed, by tracking gambling activities it is something good where we will see the picture for a month that we do in gambling, but in my management it is not done I just think when the money is deposited into the account then it will be recorded / remembered but not big anyway I think it is there for fun so there is no need for any records.

I support those who track spending in gambling it can anticipate them if the funds spent in gambling are excessive but if not tracking is not necessary, YES back to the individual because they certainly have habits that are often done, but for myself there is no tracking whatsoever in gambling activities.

I don't like to have a habit like that because if I start to see my progress, things would look a little sad and maybe without much sense because they would be very negative, so that would demoralize me, whenever I play a game I like to do it as if it were my first time, without any type of numbers, or performances in my mind to be able to be clearer in my game, if I play with prison, or if I play thinking that I should improve my previous acutacino I think I will play but and I will lose more money like this because I don't mean that.

I know that these things give more security and have a better statistic of the player, but the truth is that it is not my study to be seeing my performance in view of things as they are, for that reason I always do any type of move in a casino I do it with trust , Without pressure and with a great Desire to play and win.

I don't know what the purpose of tracking gambling progress is, but it's likely important to some gamblers. I don't gamble for money per se, but gambling is just a form of fun that I'm willing to pay for. This is a paid game for me where winning and losing is not an issue that requires a lot of emotion when the plan fails.

Gamblong for fun and gambling for money are different. In my opinion, the second variable allows you to track gambling progress compared to the first variable. Tracking progress isn't important to me, it's just a waste of time.

I manage my gambling progress through the money I deposited as bankroll, if the money has doubled before the half of the month then that means I'm doing pretty well in gambling. When I check and I didn't see much money than they bankroll, it's a signal for me that I'm not doing and I should either adjust or just hold on and look at some games I have played from my play history and if there is no profit after 2 weeks, I will quit immediately and see where I want to adjust we and review my games and style.

Sometimes I track my progress and look at some games I hve won back in the past. This works for me sometimea that I do revet that kind of game because casino might have forget those games you and if you are lucky, you will win a ticket for sijc game but it doesn't really has to be the way it was selected from the first game that was won.

The key on here is that you should really be having that kind of control and moderation in about on the money or capital that you are tending to spend into gambling because if you dont then this is where problem
do usually starts on which you are really that making yourself that being impulsive if you do tend to chase up your loses via depositing even more. People do mess up their lives because of such manner.
This is why on the time that you do step your foot into this gambling field then moderation is something that would really be crucial. You would really be finding yourself that on a tough situation
once that addictions shackles you.

Gambling progress tracking? Its not something relevant as long you do just simply that allocated a budget on your gambling session or activity and wont really be tending to deposit
even more then it should really be just fine. Dont have that kind of behavior on trying out to see those loses you do have in gambling account history
because this is one of the things that changed up your mood.

I do track my game sometimes. This is to minimize my lose so that I can cashout if I see the game is going against my prediction. Imagine a day, I cashout #177 out of my #2500. I later use this #177 to play another selected game and I won about #23,000. Imagine I never monitor the game, I will have lose the whole money and won't be able to win that money.

I do, and I wish people are more prudent and responsible with their gambling expenditures as it's one of the easiest and surefire ways for you to instill discipline and responsible gambling behaviors without heavily changing your gambling behaviors. a simple fast tracking of how much you spent on gambling per day or perhaps per week is more than enough for you to have a good overview of how much you're spending towards gambling, and from there have some sort of realization towards your gambling, as is the case with me.

Back then not only am I a massive baller when it comes to gambling (I still am), but I never tracked how much I spent besides the occasional "knowing how much I gambled from the last bet" which isn't really enough as it doesn't drive just how big you spend on gambling as compared to if you were to reliably track your gambling expenditure. When I succumbed to gambling addiction and started with my recovery program, along with multiple methods/regimens I also extensively tracked just how much I was spending every week for gambling to drive the realization and the regret back home. From then on I made it a point to gamble on a tight budget and make sure I don't go over it regardless of the circumstances. Gladfully, I was able to fall through with this plan and 3 years forward, I gamble with a newfound sense of discipline.

Yes, that's true, most people who gamble often don't think about the risk of loss, they only think about the big win they will get, even though who knows when that might happen. Unfortunately, this wrong mindset leads them to a cycle of big losses, and this could have a bad impact on themselves. I agree that having discipline is one way to avoid major losses that could occur. I think it is very rare for a gambler to keep track of their gambling budget expenses and with their winnings too, it is likely that they do not do this. unless they are people who are very disciplined and careful in doing everything, including managing money. If they manage their finances related to gambling well, including making good use of their winnings, they are smart people when it comes to gambling.

It is true, there are not many intelligent gamblers, because most of them are careless by carrying out careless and reckless gambling, especially when they win, they tend to take big risky actions such as continuing to gamble even though they have won. even though the best choice when you get a win is to cash it out and that way we take smart actions.

Being having that kind of tracking on your gambling progress then this is really that something helpful. Why? you would really be wary on the actions that you are making specially on the money that you are spending.
You would really be that basically putting up yourself on such trouble if you are really that too impulsive when it comes to your spends. This is why its really that important that having that self awareness
on things around and you cant really just that be that spending like a mad man. Some would really be that mindful when it comes on seeing their stats on the gambling site, some people could be able to control
whenever they have lost that much or negative on such huge manner but there are ones who would really be tending to cope up and trying out to break even.

The main purpose of tracking has many versions, partly to limit himself in gambling based on the time he has set. For example, if in one month he doesn't want to gamble more than $100, tracking the deposits and withdrawals he makes will help manage this information. But he need to be consistent in continuing to update data every time making a deposit or withdrawal.

Indeed, for those who are able to control their finances when gambling, this will only a waste of time. However, it's a good idea for those who can't gamble for fun, to keep track of their gambling activities so they can control their limits.

Yes maybe it is important for some gamblers who are always meticulous, on the other hand I can't say that it is not recommended because after all it leads to a little precautionary measure such as minimizing money lost due to making wrong decisions or making mistakes such as being too careless in putting the budget. But yes it is a bit too serious a thought for an activity that is really nothing more than an ordinary game that only provides opportunities and not certainties.

I think for people who don't take gambling too seriously it won't be that complicated, although management will always be a good thing but actually just assuming that gambling is nothing more than entertainment is enough to keep us safe, like the mindset that you have in mind here where you just assume that gambling is nothing more than a paid game where winning and losing doesn't matter. Obviously, gambling for fun with gambling to make money is very different, I understand your opinion here that it is quite true that tracking gambling progress is more suitable to do when you have a goal to earn, while gambling is not to earn because there is absolutely no certainty that can guarantee you to win at the end of the session, so that means? yes gambling is healthier to be used as an entertainment activity when you have free time and a little budget.

I suppose that at the end it is a matter of your personal preference, since I make an effort to keep track of all the money I deposit and withdraw from a casino.

But being completely honest, this is something I do with all my money, the reason being that unless you keep track of every single dollar you are spending, it is difficult to notice where you could make some adjustments that could allow you to spend less money, while at the same time you maintain the quality of your life.

I would agree but in reality it is rather the opposite. Those who are having an obsession about their total wins and actually wins a lot might keep a spreadsheet of balances but one who gambles like anything without any tracking of their bankroll avoids doing all this stuff. The second group actually needs to do this but they dont care much till they end up in a loss.

Indeed professional players might be doing this, but the more you do it the less you are inclined to gamble because you feel the remorse of having spent that much money which you would have used for something better.

Yes, that will be personal decision to track of all the money they used to playing gambling. We can tracks the money but we can leaves it like that and not tracking the money because we thinks that the money is the money we can afford so we will be okay if the money is lost in gambling.

The important things is you knows how much money you will used to playing gambling and that money is the money you can afford to lose in gambling. You don't have to feel regrets if you lose and don't thinks to trying to recover the lose because you knows the risks of playing gambling.

Yes, it would really be something that someones personal decisions when it comes to this manner on whether you would really be having that kind of tracking or you would really be that tending
to neglect it out and just proceed without minding about those loses and winnings you do have. In my case, then im not really that a fan on tracking it up. It would really be something that you could normally be able to feel whether you are already losing that much on which the important thing on here is that you do really know on when to stop on a certain gambling sessions.
The most crucial thing on here is that you do really know on what you are doing on which you could really be able to stop yourself on doing something stupid like playing even more because you've been losing too much or just trying to chase to break even those loses on which its a wrong thing to be done.

Your strategy in terms of responsible gambling is constructive and wise. To be sure, documenting your wins and losses may help you trace your gaming habits, but it’s not for everyone because they may find it uncomfortable. Above all else, what counts is your self-control to decide when you should finish playing games for money, particularly after experiencing significant losses.

When you realize that you have exceeded the acceptable limits of loss or are becoming too emotional, the ability to stop yourself is crucial. Chasing your lost bets and playing again to win them back is a poor strategy and often just makes things worse.
Knowing your limits and having the willpower to quit gambling when necessary is a significant step in ensuring the safety of your financial well-being and mental health. This indicates that gamblers are responsible individuals who manage their activities wisely.

However, I have this idea also that if you continue tracking your progress with gambling, you will only become frustrated in the end because you lose more, more than you earn. Well, gambling is absolutely luck based, and it’s unfortunate to say that the house is always luckier than us, the reason why we mostly end up losing while they keep on making and edge over our funds.

This is just based from my own point of view, as there can be no positive progress when it comes to gambling.

Gambling is not for fun. I really don’t see why this becomes a debate sometimes. When gambling was initiated, the idea wasn’t because of boredom. It was about making money, and it still is. If it’s all about fun then tell me if you’ll keep playing even if you keep losing money the whole month. And you wouldn’t really know how much you’ve spent until you track your gambling expense. So you may even need it more than you know.

It is not difficult to understand for whom gambling is fun and for whom it is a source of income. Gambling is never fun to those who treat gambling as a source of income rather than as fun. They try to research comparatively to arrive at a good decision and try their best to win. When a gambler is more excited about winning, it becomes very easy to realize that gambling is not fun. However, many people may disagree with this idea because they think it doesn't matter if they win or lose, but if gambling trucking, a gambler can have a better idea of his expenses. I can't say it's bad. But I think if gambling is taken as fun then the usage statistics are not important either. Because the gambler bets the amount of money there, losing the money will not cause any major hindrance in his normal life. I used to try to keep a statistics in the beginning of my gambling but don't anymore. I try to forget forever the bet that I lost.

Well this is actually your perspective and everyone is opinion to their own perspective and it's very fyn and okay that people do not agree with your point of view on this so you shouldn't have to see them as not really saying or thinking right just know that it's not their opinion and point of view which is what they really think about the subject matter at this point and it's just fine just you think otherwise.

Generally gambling was actually created with the actual and initial purpose of fun and entertainment but then since it's rewarding for having fun or using it as a form of entertainment, it became a source of income for some other persons and that was how the genesis of it becoming a source of income to others actually began but it's still not a good idea because it's much better as fun and entertainment than as a means of making money , making it as a means of making money generally causes you to even end up with more losses but when it's considered as entertainment, it could actually help to increase your chances of winning.

Gambling for profit Is actually a form of gambling that will actually do only but very little for the gambler but gambling for fun ha sa d is always the best way to gamble you can't say gambling isn't for fun except you haven't tried it or probably haven't witnessed it been used for fun then you could say from your experience it isn't for fun a d you wouldn't be too wrong or right either because it's actually relative depending on the situation which it's been applied then it can be conclusive about the purpose.

I agree that gamble could be for fun, but in this context; in this topic, the OP is definitely not talking about gambling for fun. Because why do you have to track and monitor/control something you do for fun? There’s a way you can gamble with friends and it’s fun but that’s not the average gambling. The average gambling involves staking money with the intent to make more money.

And yes we can have different opinions and that’s fine. But I don’t see why people use “fun” to cover the fact that they gamble for money. I’m saying it because many people don’t want to be called gamblers so they claim it’s fun. Ask the average gambler you know what problem they are trying to solve with gambling and you’d hear how much of a hustle it is.

I won't agree with you here that gambling is not for fun. Though most people are getting involve in gambling owed to possibly earning money, but at the same time, a lot of them are also looking for entertainment. Just look at occasional gamblers going to casino if they want to have some fun, they are only visiting casino for experience or for fun. But not totally aiming to hit some winnings. Of course, it would be a bonus if they will win some. Who wouldn't like such winnings?

Keeping accounts of our gambling expenses helps with self-examination. Think of keeping track of your expenses on paper, you'd question certain purchases. It may not adjust the way you spend, but the self-questioning is crucial in helping a person have a second thought when next he's about to spend money. I don't keep track of my gambling activities, but those who do this are not on the wrong track. It's a smart means of following up the right method to follow as a gambler. And they'll never end up wasting their funds on gambling. The good thing about this practice is that it'll enlighten the person on his past spending habits. Sometimes when I go through a paper where some of my expenses were recorded, it gives me some fresh thoughts, on what next to do when spending money.

Aside from that, whoever is doing this or not, should do himself a favor by having gambling limitations. It's not about keeping records but minimizing how we gamble. And following due diligent strategies on being responsible. Whether keeping a record helps in stabilizing a gambler's mental is unsure to me, but it quite helps in examining his behaviors. It helps him think, in case a player is about to get addicted, but he keeps track of his gambling duties in a spreadsheet or wherever, these few moments of inserting words and numbers, help him to relax his nerves and work on removing his excessive gambling habit.

I'm not really a fan of tracks it up because that will needs much time to do that one by one. If you wants to see or check your gambling activity history, you can visiting your gambling account and you will see what games you played and how much money you spend, including your win and lose. If you only wants to knows about your win and lose, you can checks on that page so you will directly see it.

You can checks how much money you used to deposits and how much money you withdraws. If you sees it, you can compared how much money you used to playing gambling but if you compare with your withdrawing, your withdrawing may be smaller than your depositing. You needs to controls your gambling activity so there is no bad things happens to you.

I don't have that habit of tracking my predictions progress because  tracking your prediction process will only makes you have a high thinking or unrealistic hopes and if turns out it didn't play well you might get sick expecially when you don't have anything at home and you put all your entire problem on a game that is yet to play. I have seen several people whom have had same issues of having put there hope on a game that is yet to play. And when the game turn them down they feel so embarrassed and and becomes quiet. So there is no point of doing that.

Tracking you gambling history can be quit a good think to know your history if you are on a saffer side or not because if you gambling history is not encouraging, you have to change your strategy and ise another methord that will help you or you reduce the amount you always gamble with, To cut lost.

Everyone is having his own point of view about this as usually peoples are having this for the source of income but still we have a large group where peoples love this as fun and try to have some big which give them extra income with low amount, so this is main point while someone doing this as profession or having source of income they love to check all details about their progress and also having regularly work on their all details related to gambling.
With going through for all your data have never been bad because while this can bring some better things, and you can check your all realities which prevent you to jump in this with something worst which usually bring all progress or all things down badly and ruin your life as well.

The only progress I track or pay attention to is my accounts level in a casino. When there are bonuses for level-up, and if there is little left to level-up, I would gamble to get more wager. But I never track the amount of bets I have placed, won or lost. Nor the amount I have bet. As I find it useless. I cant imagine situation when such statistics could help me. For example I know that I have won 11 and lost 25 bets during current session. That does not help me anyhow when I think if I should place next bet or no.

That still is a record and as long as the user benefited that then it is good. Well in that one sample you can truly cannot track anything, but in series of long records, you can identify patterns. And in terms of gambling I believe analyzing patterns of behavior will be very helpful For instance, journal your emotion every bet or day. Then analyze, which emotions should you avoid gambling especially when you lose. And you can probably bet more on your records of your emotion where you have greater probability of positive result. That's just one of many ways where you can use your track record. For it to be relevant and effective, the bigger the sample size then the better it would be.

Increasing the level of your casino account will of course give you a bonus as a new ranking and we will also be able to win the bets we play easily, but this really depends on how we play the game. It's not important that we keep track of the number of bets we have made. we play and I agree with what you say, it is not important for us to track wins or losses in the bets we place because this will make us unable to play bets well when we have experienced many losses from the bets we play.
When we know that we have lost more than we have won, of course this will help us decide whether to continue betting or stop betting.

i agree that sometimes we need to monitor how much money we have spent on gambling and how much we have earned from it. by monitoring our expenses, it will allow us to know whether our gambling is profitable or not at all or it has exceeded the limits of our financial capabilities. there is a lot of information that can be obtained from monitoring gambling expenditure and it will probably really help gamblers to organize their finances and regulate their gambling.

Its not just throwing your money around when you gamble, okay? Its a big problem with many parts. I get it; the thrill of the possible win is exciting. I totally get it. In reality, though, winners dont just bet. Their work is studied. They look at the chances, control their risk, and know when to give up. Doing this well takes skill. A lot of people believe in luck, and some people do actually get lucky. But the ones that always come out on top? They're understanding. Keep up with the latest news about gaming if you want to take it seriously, like a way to make money. Be aware of the games, the numbers, and your own limits. Mental toughness is being tested, not just hope. You might come out on top if you dive deep and plan ahead.

Calculating our betting outlays is truly essential in implementing critical self-study. By noting such costs, we indirectly subject our decision-making in the field of the money used to the questions it prompts. Although this does not mean that we will immediately begin to spend money differently, this increases the likelihood that we will weigh all the pros and cons before making a choice. This is another way to assess and master our gambling urges better.

the major part is for every gambler to make it a point to have set gambling limits and adhere to responsible strategies. This will help in the control of our gambling behaviors and reduce chances of addiction. Although keeping track of expenditures can assist in this regard, it is also crucial to abide by pre-determined limits as well as methods that promote responsible gambling.

Yes it is and I think it is a necessary action regardless of whether you are a responsible gambler or not, keeping a record of how much you win and lose over a period of time to identify whether the losses are bigger or the wins are bigger is an action that does not hurt to do, because with this we will be able to find out about which amount is bigger between earning or losing.

This is a management that will be very useful for a balance between expenses and income, I understand that overall the number of losses is usually greater, but that does not mean we should allow the number of losses to grow, or the point is that with the management of recording the amount of loss in gambling, at least we can know that if it turns out that the amount you lose in a certain period of time turns out to be much greater than the amount of loss in the previous time, it means that it looks like you are too excessive in gambling and with this, we will be able to take the right action to rebalance everything, such as more reducing gambling activities in the next time, and the benefit is that obviously this action will be able to save you from excessive financial problems.

For me it would really be that opposite, i dont make some  tracking inside my account but rather tracking up on outside or real world about on how much i have spent in gambling.If i have seen that im spending up too much on which it comes into a point that it is already out of my budget then this is where i would really be tending to stop and not on seeing into those numbers that you could see
into your account history but well it would really be just that the same since those numbers wouldreally be precise on how much you have spent already but for me i do only make estimations
and its impossible that you yourself cant be able to determine about on the spending that you've been dealing with. It is really just that a certain person would be minding about
tracking his/her expenses in doing gambling or wouldnt really be minding as long they do experience winnings? Control would really be something crucial and if you do find yourself not
be serious about it then you would be able to experience on how shit things could be.

Monitoring the way we gamble is one of the best way to help avoid anything like addiction in gambling. If we don't monitor the way we gamble, sometimes we might not know how much we have spent so far in gambling. Monitoring our gambling activities will help to ensure that we know where the money is going and when we are not making profits, we can always adjust and look for a way to balance it. Gambling is like an addiction which we need to follow up. There are people that rarely make profits in gambling and even with that, they would want to gamble more to increase there opportunity of making more money even when it's not so sure.

Once addiction hits then it would really be that so damn hard to get out and this is something that you should really be that careful into because if not then you would really be having a tough problem on
getting out on which this one would really be causing up that kind of situation into your life that could mess up when it comes to finances.It would really be just that right that you should really be setting up
some limitations when it comes to spending and when it comes on engagement because once you do lost track then it wouldnt be something that shows up on how much you have lost
and won up. You would really be continuing no matter what because you do believe that you are still on the good side without even trying out to realize that you are already that putting up yourself
into such condition where you are really that spending up too much. Having a habit on tracking your gambling progress is a must because once you do make yourself do missed out on doing
this very basic thing then you are really that that having the risks on losing up in longer run.

Statistics was or is one of my major subjects so I'd have a habit of tracking everything as it progresses if its at all feasible, possible and some help to increasing accuracy on money spent especially.  Often the worst losses are for reasons not understood or followed at all, being careless really costs alot especially if you intend to go back and do the same thing repeatedly.

Its part why I think drinking and gambling can be dangerous, some people can keep track of things anyway and know their limits and other will completely  let go of the reins and end up way worse off just from noticing what they are doing.   Tracking everything will get irritating for some but if its a bad habit for me I think its because it does some good to notice and correct mistakes I might be making or at least avoid in future.

Thos is very important for your well being since gambling 8s highly addictive so it activities must be tracked all the time so that the gambler won't become overly involved to the point that he may not notice when he already over doing things.

One of the main way to keep track of your gambling activities is through budgeting and time allotment this way you can easily manage the gambling timing and expenditure because those are the major tool to keep track of the gambling session and your involvement.

yeah right! It is also better that we track our expenses when it comes to gambling, especially if it has reached the point where the amount we place is quite large, we also need to limit ourselves especially when it comes to spending money because we may not realize we are overspending it. One of the things I do to track my expenses is that I only have a set amount to use for gambling, in that way we can notice more quickly if we have overspent or not, and above all we need intensive self discipline so that we don't end up being gambling addicts.

What patterns I can identify and build if all rounds are random? If there was at least one constant variable, then it would be possible to try to build a pattern. What can behavior analysis also give, if when I win I am happy, and when I lose I am sad. In addition to this, all gambling sessions happen on random times. For me it is a complete random and I dont know how usage of such info might help me in future.

I guess what we have neglected here to easily track our pattern in gambling is to have an account of our bankroll. Knowing at least how much we won or loss it's the most important thing to do as you can't declare yourself a winner if you win on a certain session but in reality you're overall record is negative.

You can do that on games you think you have a chance on winning in the long run, but for games that are "random" or best refer as luck based games, there's no need to check the pattern as the reality is we all lose in the long run. your pattern only does focus if you gamble based or beyond your budget, so you can correct any mistakes you've done.

Well, for me, having a gambling journal is really important because it may help us measure how much money we spend on gambling, how much time we spend playing, and how it affects our life, whether negatively or positively.  For example, you may observe that you gamble more when anxious or depressed, or when you are alone. Being aware of these tendencies might help you make adjustments in your life to lower your risk of problem gambling. It can also assist you in setting objectives for yourself, such as minimizing the amount of money you spend on gambling each month and making plans for how to avoid gambling since some people may be quite confident in their capacity to stop gambling, while others may find it extremely difficult to quit gambling, but your degree of self efficacy can have a significant impact on whether or not you are able to modify your gambling behaviour.

Then there is one indicator that you can use for measurement - deposit/withdrawal. Because it does not matter if you win 100 times, when you can withdraw less than deposited. But what is the point of tracking such info? And this indicator turns to be useless for people who deposit to have fun. They pay for fun and they dont care if there is anything left on the balance by the end of a day. As for me, when deposit = spend, as well as lose = spend, such tracking makes no use. I dont measure my gambling as profitable or not, I measure it with I had enough fun or not yet.

Indeed, this is something we need to pay attention to, when we pay attention to our gambling expenses then maybe the gambling we do won't cause a serious problem, but if we don't pay attention to our gambling expenses then bad things could happen, such as losing large amounts of money. also big. It's a shame if we can't pay attention to our own expenses when gambling, because actually we don't have to gamble excessively because it won't be profitable for sure, even though there is a chance of winning, what will happen more often is losing because losing is a chance. greater than the small chance of winning.

therefore we must be able to allocate money for gambling by adjusting it as best we can, the aim is to avoid big losses due to wins that are uncertain and not certain to be obtained, also when we gamble we must be ready to lose the money we bet, so that it doesn't happen. depositing money back when the gambling carried out ends in defeat. because people or gamblers who are not ready to lose the money they bet on tend to gamble again by depositing their money again when the gambling they do ends in defeat, and we all know that the most likely thing that will happen is losing again, not winning.

The opinions and statements I conveyed above also point in that direction my friend, I have said that we need to keep records and do not mean checking the number of transactions about winning and losing in our account, but the context and purpose is the same which is to find out how much you lost and how much you won so that you can calculate whether the loss is greater or the victory is greater, the recording I mean is that you record outside of your gambling account in the sense of manually recording for example how many sessions you do in a month and how many sessions you lose along with how many sessions result in victory.

I understand that this is an action that may be quite complicated for some people but I think there is nothing wrong with doing it because the goal leads to the good where we can make the best decision when we know that the amount we lose turns out to be quite a lot, and if for example you think this specification is too complicated to do then maybe you can set the amount of budget allocation on gambling alone, or the point is to set about how much you have to spend in a week or a month to gamble regardless of whether the result is winning or losing, the point is that putting rigor and vigilance is certainly not a problem if for example all these things lead to preventive measures for our own good.

for gamblers who don't care about such tracking of course it will not affect the gambler. but if there are gamblers who care about such tracking, I'm sure there will still be more in their accounts that they deposited than they withdrew.
there may be regret when they see these results, gamblers will think they should hold onto their assets rather than risk them. and the results must have made them happy.
but gamblers definitely can't be like that. most of them bet and then forget everything. it is not very important to look at the history of how many assets they have deposited or how much they have withdrawn.

Because all players are different, maybe someone plays not to have fun, but to test their gambling strategy. In this case, statistics are very important, even if the balance ends up being less than what was originally deposited. But if you play only for entertainment, then it is clear that in this case there is no point in keeping any statistics, or using any kind of application for analytics or statistics. For me personally, winning in gambling is important, even if I understand that this is not done to make money, I want to win, this is an important component of the gameplay that makes me come back again.

In gambling, different people exhibit the habit of tracking their gambling process for different reasons and carefully analyzing the reason of my close friends who engage in the tracking of gambling process, I've found out that their reasons are strong enough to keep doing what they're doing. For some of them, they track their gambling process because they want to always want to go back to it and checkmate themselves if they're making progress in gambling or not while others do it for for record keeping sales. I also know the other few who thinks it's absolutely needless for them to track their gambling process because to them, they only engage in gambling just for the fun of the game and not for anything serious.
Personally, I think it's a good idea for a gambler to always track his gambling engagements and if his track records shows that he's always losing more than winning, the best thing to do os to quit the game of gambling or better still improve his gambling strategies.

I think this one is the best indicator as it shows that the person cares for how much money he lost or won.When the deposits are more than the withdrawals and withdrawals are of low values it is a clear sign that you are doing something wrong.Lately I always withdraw any winnings that I make with the already allocated budget for gambling and if I lose that budget I call it a day and I quit.

This is working well as sometimes when you win you withdraw in continuity when you are hitting a good run,and as such you can enjoy winnings when you have a good day and be careful in bad days to not over do the already allocated budget you have set for gambling.

Reasons could really be neither for just for fun but mostly it would really be just for the money on which it would really be that normal. Tracking up your gambling progress isnt bad or something which is really that recommendable whenever you do gamble because making yourself having no limitations when it comes to spending then you are really just that basically putting up yourself on such big trouble on which we know that it would really be that so damn crucial on making up decisions on what are the steps that you would really be needing to take up. Dont put up yourself or having that kind of approach that you wont really be having no care when it comes to your spending because it will really be becoming that huge problem in the future when everything becomes that uncontrollable.

We do know that when it comes to gambling addiction then it is really that something so hard to get out once addiction would shackled you. This is where most gamblers do really ends up
on messing up their lives just because of that too much involvement with gambling on where spending on the amount on which they cant be able to afford to lose.
Tracking is really something that you would really be needing up to take check every now and then on which you do still in moderation or good control.

Calling it an "investment strategy" is...well, just say that's stretching it. Real investments actually offer something back. With gambling, it's a different game. You talk about avoiding losses, which yeah, makes sense. But maybe the real question is why play at all?

The idea of accepting a loss...it's something most of us get. But it's that cycle: lose, refill, lose again; that's the devastating part. It's not just about cash. You chase that feeling, even though you know the odds. Getting out isn't about preparing to fail, it's about completely changing how you see the whole thing

Casual gambling can be entertaining. Once money is the goal, things get real. Tracking wins and losses is essential. Your scorecard. Blindly entering is a recipe for disaster. I've seen it happen.

This "unlimited spending" is a myth. Gamble recklessly and lose big. The game plays you. Self-control is essential. Lose that, and trouble awaits.

Be honest about addiction. The silent threat. Get hooked, and you strive to escape. Good individuals have been destroyed by this. You might lose yourself as well as money. This is why moderation rules. Know when to play and leave. Tracking and maintaining your behaviors is essential to survival.

I used to have some. I tracked my gambling progress. These were records of my wins and losses, dates of gambling sessions, types of games and bet amounts. Also, noting how much time I spend gambling during each session.

But such a habit requires discipline. And on that time I got what I needed (understanding my gamble behavior) and I stopped doing it.
But of course, if you gamble professionally, such habbits can significantly enhance the gambling experience, making it more enjoyable, manageable, and financially sustainable.

In gambling, keeping track of wins and losses is not very important, but in some cases it is important. Because when a gambler conducts gambling he has to take care of many things. One of those things is financial management strategy. If the gambler manages the financial affairs properly he will not lose his bankroll completely. Moreover, when the gambler collects data on his wins and losses, he can make  decision about how much risk he should take. Moreover, gamblers can make relatively good decisions about emotional issues. The focus is primarily on how a gambler himself can conduct responsible gambling. However, according to some gamblers, it is not important to do this because whatever idea the gambler takes about winning or losing when he looks at his previous progress report will not change the outcome of the bet. In that sense I don't think there is much need for a progress report.

Many people gamble to make a profit, because that is the main goal of everyone who gambles. Indeed, there are some people who gamble with the aim of having fun, but do you think their aim is solely for that?
I think not, there must be their desire to be able to get a profitable victory. Gambling is very different from investment, gambling is a means of entertainment in the form of games and there are profits that can be obtained if we are lucky, but why do so many people chase their luck until they lose control of themselves? And in the end it just gets them into trouble.

What you say is correct, the problem is dealing with defeat or losing the money they bet, why do they gamble again after losing when they gamble? That's because they can't accept losing so what they do is deposit money back, gamble and lose, keep repeating this until their finances fall apart. I agree with that, indeed we must view gambling as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to make money, because winning at gambling cannot be guaranteed. Even though there are some people who believe in strategy, it cannot guarantee that they will win, we must be aware that this is a game of chance, it is luck that will give us victory, understand the reality about luck, that is what we must pay attention to.

Can you give an example in which case this information or such kind of tracking can be useful? Or maybe share your own experience. I have a simple measurement system of my gambling. If the balance is larger than I have deposited, then it was a productive and lucky gambling session. If it is lower than deposit, then I consider that I had fun for that money. Pretty simple. But all other statistics, for example, in which slot or game I win or lose more, % ratio of success, size of bets and etc. This is less important for me. I would gamble in a game that I enjoy most, then in a game that I win more.

I think it depends on the person too, or I mean there are some people who think that keeping track of wins and losses is important and there are others who think that it's not important at all, but overall I don't think it's a bad thing to do because after all it leads to good by paying attention to things by researching which leads to preventive measures, like you said above which in some cases this kind of action is quite important and necessary because it is useful to support or refine budget management on balanced gambling with ability.

The aim is to find out if over a period of time you are losing more or winning more, and since this is gambling which is a probability activity with no certainty of winning then I think overall most gamblers lose more than they win and you can see the amount you are losing by keeping a record and then you can make a decision to be strict about the amount of money you spend on gambling or the time you spend gambling to minimize the amount you lose, and this leads to a responsible gambling approach where everything is in balance. This may not seem important to gamblers who don't care about their safety in the long run, as you said there are some people who say that these kinds of measures don't affect the results, of course precautions are not to increase winnings but to minimize the possibility of greater losses.

Its impossible that you cant really be able to make yourself that wary on how much already you have lost in gambling or simply you would really be noticing whether you are positive or already that negative.
It is really just that a matter of self awareness but well we do know that most of those gamblers would really be in denial or having simply that making themselves blind. Tracking about your gambling progress is something which is important and its impossible that you cant really be able to make yourself that wary about those things in regarding about gambling loses on which we know that this is really something that you could really be able to make yourself that self aware on whats going on. It would really be that some something crucial on knowing in regard about into your situation because self awareness about your finances would really be that
something most important matter that you do really need to watch out on the time that you do deal up with gambling.

Honestly, it was rather hard for me to understand your reply.

Personally I see no reason for myself to track how I spend money that I have deposited to casino. This is my budget, I want to use it and enjoy the process. I dont want to check, feel panic or shake everytime my balance decreases from original deposited amount. Imagine that a deposit is a bottle of water you have bought. After taking a sip (place a bet), do you check how much water is left all the time? Or just drink? We have different approaches to gambling. You probably want to win, I want to have fun. Be both are right and dont understand each other.

I do sometimes cause I play live games. I’d check the stats, tactics, tension, and risk management of the both team then predict the possible outcome.

If we play online, those statistics are available to the user, if I'm not mistaken, so it's easy to track everything.

However, for those of us who play in land base casinos, I doubt that we will do it specially if we are just having some fun around. And I'm not seeing any positive for the gambling getting on how much they bet or how much they win or lose already.

Worst thing is that it will make them more anxious in my opinion specially if they see the spread of how much they've lost already. So personally, for me, I don't do it.

For me these days, I have found myself more often than not, giving space in between my gambling activities. I normally do so after much recorded losses and that has been my ordeal lately.
I prefer online gambling, since the cost I would incur  just to take myself to the gambling house will be much in addition to refreshments and as well, the game too.
I don't want to get be so addicted for now because it would be easier for me and it will become a necessity I must fund and that's why I keep track and prefer to instead trade with the funds or better still help a friend place a bet or make a prediction.

This is the reason why there are people get disappointed on the result shown especially if they see that they are losing to much than winning. They maybe quit for seeing that and curse those casino since they think that those casino is just scamming them. But if they are playing because they are interested on the entertainment factor it could bring then possibly even if they see on statistic that they are losing for sure these people will just ignore it and continue to gamble.

If gamblers can't afford to lose a lot then maybe they should try to make their losing streaks as a basis to quit since maybe realization will pop up in their mind that in gambling especially on a game of chance its hard for them and win some money so that times its better for them to decide if they want to continue or totally quit in this activities.

Whenever we do deal up with gambling then it would really be always best that you should really do your best on not to get that addicted because we know that once gambling addiction would really be
able to overcome into ourselves then for sure it would really be that imposing that huge problems to us and this is something that mess up someones live. This is why it would really be that better that you should
be having that kind tracking on which it is really just that a right approach on which i could say that its important but if you are really just that not minding about on what you have lost since you are already expecting that you would really be that losing those funds in the end then people wont really be making those tracks.

Its relevant but it would be basing up on how you do accept those risks involved on doing or playing gambling. We do know that everything should really be that in moderation on which if you dont really like
yourself to be that affected with gambling then it would be that better that you should really be sensible on the things that you are really that tending to deal with.
You cant just be that confident on your spending because if you do then you do just basically putting up yourself on potential problems.

It all depends on one's mindset and perception of it. If you say that when gambling was initiated or invented, it was not for fun but about making money, yes it was, and it is still for making money but not for gamblers, it is for making money for the house and its owners and management. For gamblers, it was never a way to earn money though you can say it was an opportunity to try your luck to see whether you can win something or not.

Besides, people who gamble for fun don't gamble away everything they have, but they decide on a budget and gamble according to that which is why they don't need to worry about how much they are losing or check every month about how much they have lost because they already know they had a budget and even if they have lost, they have just lost their gambling budget, that's all.

It's good that you aware if you're spend too much time for gambling, so you can reduce it from now on. Unfortunately not many gamblers can be like you who aware and realize that they spend too much time for gambling.

You probably need to find a new hobby or use that time to take a nap, so will not really feel if you have a lot free time, that would make you to spend it for gambling.

Having awareness in gambling is important because we can check how far our gambling activity and needs to control ourselves from the addictions. If we thinks that our gambling activity is higher than usual, we can try to reduce that to avoids the minds telling to comes to the gambling. Playing gambling on online casino will needs more awareness and self control because with the easiness that the online casino gives to us can makes us forget doing the other activities.

That can caused us staying in the online casino for a long time before we realizes that we already lose much money. After we lose much money, we will regrets and thinks that what we did is stupid. Tracking our gambling activity is one thing that we can do so we can see how much money we already used in gambling and we can stops our gambling activity if we thinks that we playing gambling for a long time from usual.

If we went back to when it was invented, I could agree. But then, we’re looking at gambling of today and what it is. I would like an honest answer, do you think that people will still gamble if the returns from wining a game was slashed by 10? I mean, when you stake $10, instead of going with a total of $15, you rather go with $10.5. Would the same number of people who gamble still continue? Or look for other means of making money? There are a few people who are really in it for fun but the vast majority is trying to make some money.

Its impossible that you cant really be able to observe out that you are already spending up that much into gambling. You wont really be that making yourself that being numb when it comes to those conditions or simply just that neglect it out. Outcomes and results would really be just that depending on the actions that you are making. You cant really mess up your life if you are really just that responsible on the things that you are doing. Habit on tracking up into your gambling spending or expense isnt that bad because once you do have monitored up yourself and find out its time to quit or stop then its an advantage.

Some doesnt really have that kind of behavior on tracking up their spending with gambling but there are really ones who are really that doesnt care about on how much they do spend up.
They would really be that mindful on the time that they are losing up that much. You wont care though if you do have the budget or really that spending on the amount
on which you can afford to lose.

Yes, I would imagine most people here would, even the most degenerate gambler.

The casino also realizes that winning is the purpose of active gambling participation every day. Gamblers wouldn't wager a high amount of money if they've never won some money before. Hence gambling revolves around making money and winning. I understand every player wants to win, it's something we love. And whenever it doesn't show we'd do anything to get it. Due to this most players increase the pace at which they want to get the win and end up chasing losses. Regulating perfectly these impulses is the slim line that demarcates responsible and compulsive gambling. Keeping a proven track of our gambling activity doesn't make any changes to the compulsive gambling impulses of most gamblers. Although it helps in tracking his wagering habit, the behavioral changes require consistent observations. Not just on expenses but on every single part of the brain, including how we think and make decisions.

If he is still aware that he may gamble too much, it means he isn't addicted. He actually still plays in an healthy way, he knows when he gamble excessively. As long as he still realizes that he gambles too much, he will stop it temporarily when he realizes it. Sure, there are many people who aren't aware of gambling excessively. They even never understand how much money ideally to spend in gambling. These type of gamblers who probably end up with addiction case.

Of course, we don't only play gambling. There should be time for taking a rest and do many activities in real life. If we only focus on gambling all a day, it can be categorized addiction. If someone experience this, it is better to stop their bad gambling habit. Evaluate and get the way to minimize the time for gambling.

For me I believe that gamblers that actually fix their thoughts on all these  things are probably the ones that fixated their mindset on making their Gambling habit as a kind of job and they check all these stats to follow up with their progress or loses that they have enquired but for an average gambler who just makes bet for fun I don't think all these things are actually necessary besides if you actually know your boundaries then it would be good not to be check these things not to get your self all tensed up.

In ancient times there were not so many golden opportunities for gambling as a gambler have today. Earlier people had to wait a certain time to conduct a gambling event. Gambling houses were built around any religious ceremony or any big special event. There was no intention to make money but there was a gambler enjoying the excitement. Because regular gambling was not organized there. From that point of view we must say that the purpose of gambling was never only for income. However, it has seen major changes in recent times. Now there are many gamblers who consider gambling as a source of their financial income while some consider it as a part of entertainment. If the gambler sees gambling as a means of earning money, it is different for him, but for those who see gambling as a source of profit, things like trucking are not so necessary. Although winning at gambling is a great destination for everyone.

Not everyone have the mindset of tracking their past gambling activities it’s just for people that is very serious in gambling that usually gamble every week at least a few times because they would want to know how they have won  on the past and their losses they would want to recover and get back every lose so they would like to keep their tracking active and check out the basics move they need to take before proceeding on more gambling activity.

This context, if not careful of, can even cause addiction to gamblers. If one can be gambling to be point of taking the inventories of the gambling always and flashing back to the past, then such a person has taken gambling to be a too serious business and may trigger emotion. But I see no how this is helping out at all because gambling can only be won either by luck or by expertise, or both, and not by looking at the past results.

Good, it could be nice if one is evaluating his gambling activities so that he makes a decision on whether to continue to gamble or quit. But this is not often the case but to be opening some fresh wounds of how much money the person has lost in the past. This is why I don't do it, but notwithstanding, indifferent about this since it will not add value to my gambling. Instead of looking back at the past, I focus on the present and the future, and the best way is to sharpen my gambling expertise well and pray for better luck.

In addition, I work more on my gambling psychology and management which I know will always help me not to go astray but to maintain a responsible gambling character.

Serious people will get a serious attitude from gambling, if we are a forgetful person and keep an optimistic attitude, this habit will become fun as many people say but being a watcher throughout is like looking back into the past, this mechanism only motivates us to look for more opportunities and increases the number and size of bets. From tracking habits will turn gambling progress into a daily task and when trying to make the task have good results, it will definitely be a risky and overwhelming job when warnings here put a lot, tracking through our gambling history could very well turn out to be a forgettable turning point

There are very few people who express interest in keeping their tracking in gambling. I have never seen anyone close to me who investigate the results of their gambling. They certainly do research before betting but not research about their gambling record. Real bettors are never keen on watching their losses. A large section of gamblers believe that they will win only if their observation and luck favors them. Observing the results of previous betting is only slightly satisfying in mind but has no effect in reality. A gambler may be tracking for financial gain in his gambling but not for winning.

It seems to me that tracking progress in gambling is mostly of interest to either beginners or professionals. The average gambler is quite enough to limit the gambling budget and observation.
I remember I used to have a notebook in which I wrote down all my wins and losses and I admit honestly that I threw it away after the second major loss, as it gave the realization that I still lose more than win.

Check our basic, we should be ready to obtain the useful information coming our way and not dwell in the past, there's more to achieve and more immense work to accomplish. There's more to achieve in the system, never let your guards down and bring on the significant changes that would bring on our profit rolling in. What's the essence of tracking one's gambling progress? It will only bring back horrible memories of our early days of recording huge losses which will definitely bring sadness if one have not improved till this moment.

Nicely said. Professionals might get a little advantage over casino or others if they research they stats and play style. Beginners will track their record to find that magical strategy to win every bet. The majority will look on their stats few times and wont waste time on it. As they are there to gamble at first place, but not to do science research. After all, all that matters is that balance will be above zero or larger than deposited. That is the only stat to follow.

Lol, same here ;D.

I believe people who gamble for fun barely care for statistics or having a count of the games they are playing and how much money they have won or lost in a particular game, all they see is their balance to find out whether they have won something on top of their initial bankroll or have lost some money from it.

Those who gamble to earn money from gambling tend to have stats for almost everything, they keep track of the games they play, how much they spend one each game, how much they have won or lost in each game they have played in a session, and much more. You can't even keep a count for everything you do in a casino and besides, what's the fun if you are spending half of the time writing stats for your session instead of enjoying the games?

Usually it like that, but there are many who don't, just imagine that now there are many gamblers who realize that they have gone too far in gambling and can be said to be not an addict because they still have awareness of the activities carried in gambling.
But the problem is that even though he has this awareness, when in certain conditions, such as experiencing series of defeats that require him to lose larger amount of money, he doesn't accept it.
He is not an addict, but because of his emotions and feelings of being unable to accept losses, his gambling activities increase to recover all his losses.
Obviously this is the wrong attitude and is really very detrimental, but all this happens not to an addict but to gambler who still has awareness and has the opportunity to be addicted.

Sometimes gambling addiction is not only related to how much intensity of gambling they do every day but can also be seen from their attitude and also how they manage their life and finances when gambling.
If gambling addict can look at the past or series of history of gambling results that have been carried out so far, perhaps they will realize that they are addicted and this has really caused them to experience big losses.
Usually things like this make gambling addict mindset more open to trying to reduce the intensity of their gambling.

gambling's complicated. Believe me, I've seen the best and worst of it. Some call it addictive, and they've got a point. Get hung up on past bets, and you're in trouble. Thats when the house always wins. But its not just luck, not about some magic skill. Success, in gambling and in life, comes down to strategy. Understanding yourself. Your limits, your mind. Thats what separates winners from, well, lets just say its a big difference.

You cant rewrite the past. Dwelling on losses, wins, its a trap. Focus on the game in front of you, improve yourself, thats where progress happens. Some luck helps, obviously, nobody's perfect. But above all, be responsible. Thats the winning play, I guarantee it.

           -   There are other gamblers in a casino who think of gambling as a source of income. Of course, every amount they bet will not be lost just like that. It means that the gambler is serious enough to grow the money he has.

And if he makes a mistake or loses a bet, he may study his next bet carefully and not let him lose again, which means he doesn't want to lose again in the next betting game. That's what I've seen and observed. .

They exist and we call them exeptional gamblers as they make profit while majority of the gamblers losses. I like to be in that level as well  in the future, but I know it will not be achieve easily as it requires proper training and discipline, and maybe in the future I'll be profitable.

However, I think calling it as a source of income is unrelistic at all, I mean this is gambling, it's not a job that you are not risking anything so you don't lose, 99% of the time you'll get paid but in gambling, profitable outcome is not guaranteed although you are confident that you'll end up profitable.

We should also be able to limit our budget for gambling, even though we like to gamble, we must have limits either in terms of budget or time for gambling, because with these two things, if there are no limits, it could be a disaster, like spending a lot of money just for one gambling. or when the gambling we do ends in defeat and we deposit money back to gamble again with the alibi of chasing a win or recovering a loss, this indicates that there is no budget limit for gambling.

also with a time limit, we must be able to have a time limit when gambling, when the gambling we do results in a win so that the balance or money we have may be large, we must be able to stop gambling by withdrawing the winnings that we have obtained, by getting that win, not This means that we have to continue gambling by pursuing bigger wins. That is not a correct perception. Also, by gambling frequently, we will not be able to rule out the possibility of losing, and even when we win, I am sure that the wins we have won will not be able to cover all the losses we have suffered. already occurred.

Well here in the forum there is a user who always wins in the almost no, with Sports betting and he himself says that he has more profits, of course there are times that he loses but things really turn out better for him , that is Something he has to I Approve Because when you do Different Things that have to do with casinos, sports betting and really those Types of people have a gift for me , because they rely a lot on everything that there is information or something and they digest it very well, so much so that they can generate a certain Profitability , the truth is I have tried to be something like that but it is very difficult, you have to have a lot of determination for that, to see every thing, every detail of sports, sometimes these types of Events are what one You must Learn to cope little by Little.

Sounds like reading an AI post due to the tone of your statement and lot of sweet words to make the statement longer while it just describing a very simple statement about simply accepting losses.


At least you have the most sensible advice in the end of your statement. At the end of the day, being responsible gambler will make you a winner because you limit your losses or secure profit while having fun on gambling. This is the only way to really enjoy gambling to the fullest without inflicting harm to yourself in both financially and emotionally when you experience loss.

It's true that professional gamblers are more likely to take a data-driven approach, studying the stats and analyzing past games to find patterns and strategies that could give them an edge. For beginners, the focus may be more on the thrill of the game and the potential for winning, rather than on the numbers and data. But it's essential to always note that no matter how much professional people may appear to be, it's not possible to discover or come up with a pattern to always ensure wins on a regular basis so its good to always proceed with causion at all time to avoid incurring losses.

Those who made gambling as their income they are living in a fool world. Income source is basically what we look for to live a healthy life, and of course a healthy life can only be achieved with a stable and secure source of income. And on the other hand gambling will never give you a secure income it may suddenly bring you a jackpot but that is less than 1% chance. And besides, where gambling is for fun, it is very foolish to make it a source of income.

For me tracking gamble progress, should be done to the winnings and not the losses, the winnings will be a pillar of motivation to the gambler, for example in sport betting you follow the stats of the teams you want to place on your tickets, from those stats you will know the teams inform and the ones playing badly, but most times this approach always proves unfruitful as the weaker team will even go on to win the match against your prediction,  they are people who make earnings from gamble, I know someone who's source of income is virtual betting, he stakes high and wins high,

Gambling is fun when you win and boring when you loose, we just have to gamble responsibly, by staking what we can loose, gambling especially online gambling has a way of making someone loose money within the twinkle of an eye,  and don't use another person's staking power to gamble, use yours.

You have said it all and got it perfectly right, gambling is more complicated than people think and there is no certain/perfect solution that will cover for all the needed actions at all times. Whether we look back or move forward in it, it is all about trying our best and leaving the rest, nothing works best for it but mostly luck. What you used that worked today might not work tomorrow, and what failed today might be what will win the Jackpot for you the next day, so it works haphazardly. But one thing that is sure is that we should try not to miss out on gambling aright and be responsible about it even as we forge ahead and remain focused. We should do our part to have good and advanced skills (if possible as seen in some settings), budget and management and adhere strictly to them with discipline so that we do not go astray to the point that we will be irresponsible towards.

People would really be able to realize things on the time that they would really be able to experience those hardships and not really that able to handle it out or into those non expected moments on which it would really be that resulting into such disaster into their lives before they would be making out some adjustments. It is really just that it would really be depending on someone whether they would really be making out such tracking
or they would really be just that basically trying out to ignore and neglect those basic things on which we know that this is really that needed once you do step your foot into the field of gambling.

We do really know that when it comes to gambling then everything should really be that in moderation because if you dont really like to mess up yourself towards it then it would be that just that normal
that you would really be needing to have that kind of monitoring specially into your spending because if you dont like to have a messed up life then it would really be something a normal approach for you to do so.

I have no time for that, if I lose then it's the same as throwing thrash to the garbage can and that will be forgotten forever. But I understand that many still that do track their progress to see if there's something good happening on them. With the losses that I am having, it's best to have it forgotten so that I can easily move on and that's the reason why I think that it's best to not to track my progress and most importantly, as long as I am not addicted then I am good.

Most people here are purely gambling for fun and I have never really seen anyone tracking their progress, such threads will often die out when it becomes apparent they do not succeed long term. If you took sports betting for example, anyone who is really successful would not find it in their interests to share or publicize it too much, as it might get them limited at bookmakers. You're never going to win long term in the casino, so that leaves sports betting or actual skill based games where the house does not necessarily have an edge. If you really know a niche well, like esports teams, then theoretically you might be able to read the odds and pick bets that are better informed than bookmakers, but in these situations they'll often restrict your account after a while.

I say everyone should be a master of that to be very honest. Tracking how much you've been gambling lately and how much you've been spending/gaining from your gambling rendezvous gives you detailed overviews of what type of a gambler you are, if you're going overboard or you're just on the right track, even on the games you've been losing more and winning, all of which are important if you want to remain sane while you're gambling at the very least lol. I myself track just how much I spend, how many times I have lost and won, and how many times I have already gambled on a weekly basis, I keep all of these in their separate minimums to make sure I don't go stupid and overboard as I have become addicted to gambling already in the past, being just shy of lucky that I was able to get out of the cycle a little earlier which made the transition very easy for me. With that being said I will always advocate to having a way of some sort to record your gambling sessions, because one of the biggest blindsides we experience when we gamble is the notion that we're not made aware of just how much we're spending, getting a good tracking method for these will certainly help.

Not necessarily but its something that recommended on which there are people who doesnt need to track because you can sensible feel and see it that you are already spending up tons on which on the time that you've been aware on such condition then it would really be just that normal that you would really be taking up those decisions on stopping it midway or you would really be continuing.
Seeing your progress is something that would really be that useless because you do really know that gambling is really that should be only just for fun and not for making money.
You wont really be any needing progress or some sort, the thing that you do really need to look out for is into the money or fund that you have already been able to spent.
If this one is already on that exceeding on what amount as it should to be then it would be your choice on doing so.

How can people even track their progress? Writing down on the paper all bets and see how many gambler made of them and win/lose ration will take a lot of time and will distract from the game. If I go to my account on a gambling platform I see amount wagered, in which cryptocurrencies it was made, and in which game. But I know most of that info just by playing games I like most. What can I do with info, if I have wagered 1 BTC in dice, and 0.00000001 BTC in hi-lo, besides knowing that I place dice more often. I know info that without statistics. How can this even help me or be useful?

I think total wagered amount would already be that sufficient enough for you to determine whether you are at loss considering that it would really be showing if you are that in profit or loss.
If its not that available then you could always check out about your deposit overall amount and with the withdrawals you could make. If you are really just that basing with those numbers then you could make out some computations. Although its a bit hassle specially if you are someone do make out several transfers and withdraws on a certain day but eventually there are some sites which do shows all
about in regarding about profitability or on how much you do earn already. This is why i do see some platforms on having this which it is really that a feature or info that i do like to check out.

Really? My account states that I have wagered $64,156.12, but that does not mean I have deposited, won or lost such and amount. The amount I have deposited (the actual amount I would have lost if  I want withdrawing) is not even close that number. What can I do with that info? Pretty much useless. Would be thankful if anyone would teach what good I can learn from that.

We must also not forget that calculating our profits and losses is complicated by the fact that many players play on different gambling sites and also deposit and withdraw funds there. I think that there is software that can allow us to accurately monitor the progress of our numbers, and if it does not exist, then it would have to be invented. I like accuracy in small things, but I would think twice about whether to do this in gambling, because approximately I understand that in the end I am a loser or a gainer. Also, many players do not want to see this accuracy due to the fact that they have lost large amounts and do not want to face the truth. This is the case when they do not see this lost amount of money and think it is something imaginary, but it is not correct to think so. Because they will have to go to a real job where they will have to work in real reality.

If you calculate your win and lose, you will see your lose will be bigger than your win. That can makes you still wants to playing gambling, whether to recover your losses or win the games. Many people do this as they doesn't wants to accept their losses so they still playing gambling and hopes that they can win much money. They forgets that playing gambling too long can makes them spends much money and makes their emotion becomes high which can leads them to use more money. But they will not win the games easily as gambling is not an source of income.

Tracking your gambling activity can be done but you must remember that you must not trying to recover your loses as that can makes your losses becomes bigger. You can make a note from XL files or other software to tracking your gambling activity to see how much money you already spent.

Of course we can't determine how much we lose by just looking at total amount wagered. Because you can deposit like $1000 and if you are managing it right, you will last longer and the longer you last the more your total wagers will increase. Normally it's easy to increase our total wagers on games that have a quick outcome. If we like to determine how much we loss in total, we should check the total amount deposit and less it to total withdrawals, the answer should likely be the total amount you loss over the period of time.

Just like been said or mentioned that you could be able to track it out into your deposit page history on how much you have already deposited. If you do find out that you are already spending up too much then
its not that bad to consider on stopping out completely and its true that there's no way on tracking your spending with those overall wager since this is really that between those bets you have made.
Its not something a precise number that you could really be able to look upon. If there's no way that you could really be able to see on how much you have put up then you could always ask to support.
Just like been said that it is really something in default that most platforms are really showing histories on every activity you do made.

So it is being useful only if you keep balance on a gambling platform. I mean when I deposit an amount, when I see I have already lost a significant part of it, only they I should stop. Looks strange. What is going to change if I get back in few hours? Will my "luck meter" reset? Call me narrow minded, but I still dont get how tracking can really help. The only think I would gladly track is time. Sometimes I get so excited, that 30minutes turns into hours. As I usually gamble before sleep, long sessions turn me sleepy next day.

Oh, tracking my gambling progress? I hadn't thought much about until now. I guess as someone pretty new to gambling, I've been more focused on understanding the games and trying not to get too overwhelmed. But keeping track of how much I'm spending and whether I'm up or down sounds like too serious for me.

To be honest, I'm not sure if I want to start. For me, gambling is more about the entertainment aspect rather than treating it like a school project where I need to monitor and analyze everything. I feel like keeping detailed records might take some of the fun out of it for me. I just try to set a budget for how much I'm willing to spend for the fun of it, and if I lose it, that's my cue to stop. It's all about the enjoyment and thrill of the moment, without making it too complicated or serious.

Analysis is important, and just knowing how much you deposit and how much you have left in the end is not enough, you need to know in which games you win more often, where you lose more, in order to ultimately conclude what needs to be excluded, and what to leave. I always use an Excel spreadsheet for this, where I can keep all the statistics I need for myself, but the casino basically just keeps the balance sheet, and this definitely won’t be enough.

Well, most gamblers do the same, they don't like tracking their progress and I think it's okay. Play and forget. ;D I do that with my casino games but I do track my progress in my sports bets. I mean, I do like to see how I did in one season and maybe this will help on how I can be better on the next one.
I know I have bets where emotions win and it's unwise to do that, but there are also bets that I think I did good which will help out in my next season.

Anyway, no one is forcing anyone to do this kind of thing and I guess it will depend on each person on how they like their gambling method. For others, it's better to not list it so that they can move on faster when they lose while others tend to use that history of bets as a means to be a better gambler.

It will be difficult to track every single progress on our bets. But as gambler i think it is good to focus on the crucial things like; wager, the numbers of wins and lost in a day. This can be done by using a google sheets for storing those information's. Although only gamblers who see gambling like a profession would buy the idea. However, spreadsheet an keep record of dates, wager, wins and losses and sum the total. Its simple just set a calendar for any month. Then list the crucial things into columns and number the rows to the number of days in that particular month. If this strategy is adopted we can be able to see our progress every month we gamble.

Tracking your gambling progress is useful to understand which days are the most successful and which days are best to avoid gambling. It's also good to know which strategies work best and which strategies work worst. That's why I try to keep some statistics - sometimes it helps quite a bit

We're just going to gamble; why do we need something like that? I don't think gamblers who just rely on luck will pay much attention to that, in my opinion. I don't even want that anymore; to be honest, it just seems like a joke to me.

Just gamble if you want to have fun; that's all, right? And if you are looking for full income here, you should be careful, and be careful with every bet you make or choose the game that you know yourself to play a little bit.

Tracking your gambling Progress can be very frustrating especially when the bets remain just one To finish , tracking is not always Good for me because most people lose their lives because of It .

Every Good gambler do not see the need To track their gambling Progress because they either gamble for fun or To keep themseves Busy , when you track your gamble you are always very uncomfortable, disturbed And very restless just To see the last result of the gamble .

Tracking the gambling progress is dangerous to health because it increases the number of hypertensive persons in the society so I would advice all those with such habits to minimise it because it is not the best approach to monitor your gambling progress .

I don't have any time to do that either. In fact, I don't track even my personal finances: I always follow my guts. I mean, I know what is right and what is wrong, and I try to act accordingly. No need to use a spreadsheet for that.

That said, I know people who like following the track of every single expense, and back to gambling, I find it practical for who believe they should control their activity. This is not my case, I bet little and for fun, so there is no progress to track I guess.

Well, in the XL files you can make notes about your bets, but if there are such players, then there are very, very few of them, and this is already the first step towards professional gaming, when every calculation of profit is important for them. I think that I have enough willpower for many things, but I would not be able to keep such records, and not because I am afraid of my losses, that's for sure. Moreover, I would be very curious to know my result for all time, but this is impossible, because I started playing a very long time ago and on different gambling sites. Moreover, these were different games, roulette, poker, sports betting and even slots.

You could really be able to sense it along the way if you are already that spending up that much or really that be on the losing side then you could actually feel it without needing to see those statistic or those numbers.

It would really be that impossible that you cant really be able to notice it out. Also, if you are really that not that much too serious on playing gambling and do only play for the sake of fun and not for money
then it would really be that best on having that kind of approach. We do really know that having that moderation and having that tracking with your gambling spending is crucial.

Getting lost with your spending or having no awareness on how much you do have lost already is really that dangerous. Play on the amount on which you can afford to lose then
you would really be just that fine but if not then this is where problems or issues would really be starting to come out.

There is nothing bad in the making of such determination in keeping for the track records of our gambling progress, this will serves as reference to us in recent games and we may have a look on them in other to know some areas of our weakness from those previous games and be able to work on them for our own desired future expectations while gambling, this is not aimed at getting us discouraged, but instead we work more on how to use such opportunity in learning one or two things that will be useful and applicable on our future games.

Tracking our activities whether in gambling or not is one of the ways we could make more money and know how we have been spending money in gambling. It is very important for us as a wise gambler to think and keep accessing our past record to know how one could make sure that we don't do things that will make us regret because when we don't track pass activities in gambling, it could result to lots of problems that could make things more expensive for one to meet up with other need without knowing that more of the funds has been spent to play careless gambling that never yield any result.

Google sheet, dates, wins, losses - you are turning gambling into bookkeeping. Gambling suppose to bring fun, or money. But instead I should sit and fill the table every time I make a bet. I think no one would do this. This will end with getting numbers that will have no informational value. Statistics wont tell if next bet is a 100% win or lose. Dont try to compare predictions in gambling with predictions in marketing.

No i dont because I only have a fewer gambling activities so that does not even count me to log them.
I think this is for those who are in gambling that normally losses or engaging more time because they are the one
that mostly lose or win bigger , and that needs inventory lol.

People don't do that to get help or anything, it's just that people who gamble for profits and to earn money from gambling keep track of their stats, how much they have deposited, how much they have lost or won in a session, and they keep those stats so that they can evaluate their gambling activities at the end of a month or a year, etc. It helps you realize how much money you have won or lost during that period so that you can manage your activities based on that in the next period.

Responsible gamblers or people who gamble just for fun would barely care about the stats or anything because they aren't gambling to earn money and the budget they use for their gambling activities is always limited and they can afford to lose it. So, they don't care whether they lose or win at the end of the day as they will start their next session with a new budget anyway.

Tracking their gambling expense or their activity is really considered good specially if you are someone who is really just that playing on a certain amount and lost of track because you have enjoyed the game but since
you are on the losing side then you would really be able to ask out on how much you have total lost already which is really that unlike into those people who are really that trying out to play and tending to
make deposits just because they've seen that they are already losing and tending to recover up their loses on which this is something which could lead up into disaster. This is why it would really be better that you should really know on how to handle up yourself with your gambling activity on which you cant really just that make yourself that having that lost track on how much you have spent because you might not be able to
wary not until you've seen yourself that messed up your finances.

Tracking your gambling activities and progress is something that a responsible gambler would rationally do. For most gamblers, it would help them become able to track their spendings on bets and stakes. In can even go as far as providing an easy and suitable way for the gambler to keep track of the amount of time he spends on gambling activities.
The fact is you can't manage something properly if you are unable to keep proper track of it from time to time. Some persons will even argue that people who don't keep track of their spendings are gambling are addicts. Being a responsible gambler isn't that much easy but I believe keeping track of your spendings is definitely important.

It is part of my playing strategy. Every week, I will have a statistics table of the total number of orders I have placed in a week and from there summarize my profits and losses. Without it, I wouldn't be able to know if my playing method is effective or not. In addition, I can know what level my gambling habits are at, what my betting trends are, and then have solutions to fix them and improve my performance the following week.

However, I realize that there is a downside to having to monitor my gambling progress regularly, which is that it sometimes puts pressure on myself. Because I know my performance too well, so if the result of the next week are not as good as last week, sometimes I feel pressured and a little sad. In addition, my gambling experience also lost much of the fun and excitement.

I think it should be done differently. If someone use stats to evaluate how much I can allow to spend on gambling next month, then imo it isnt correct. It looks like planning something after everything has already happened. For example if my budget is $100 a month, and I have won $1000 during month, but lost $850 during same period, I would not plan to spend $150 next month. Anyway, I would only care about deposited-withdrawn ratio, and wont pay much of an attention about win/lose ratio of every slot or game I have used, which slot or game I have played most, wagered most, time spent most and etc.

That's true, it's more like if you do this kind of way when you gamble, you give yourself a limit to how much money you spend instead of starting a new fun gambling activity. It might also be the reason to have other kinds of thinking such as the amount of money they should have won instead of losing it. Just like in your given example, $850 was lost and then next month, the gambler might think of chasing the lost $850 using the remaining $150.

I don’t see the point in keeping records with a lot of detail, in my opinion, it is enough to record deposits and withdrawals. I don’t see the point in keeping records with a lot of detail; in my opinion, it is enough to record deposits and withdrawals.
And if we are talking about professional betters (I doubt that professional gamblers exist), then they have a completely different level of fixing their bets, where they track the odds at which the bet was made plus their further changes, etc.

I think it depends to a person's perspective when it comes to budgeting their money for gambling, because like what I've always do,  whenever I gamble, I always track my spending habits, I have a fixed gambling budget that I allocate to myself every time I gamble, and if I'm lucky enough to win, I keep the money I win and never use it to gamble again, I only take the gambling budget then the rest will go to my savings. Just like what I've said, I only have a fixed amount that I follow , if I win or lose, that allocated budget will not change. Every gambling session I do, the budgeted amount I use is the same from the usual budget so I don't think about how much money I should chase.

Gambling progress may not be useful for gambling wins or losses, but it can be an important factor for gamblers who want to know their gambling nature. There are many who are addicted gamblers who do not realize how much their winnings or losses have increased. When a gambler sees that progress report it will be easier to track the level at which he is gambling. If his level of play increases this can be reduced through progress tracking. I think this tracking is not a matter of gambling wins or losses but can be helpful for a gambler's data analysis.

In many gambling related topics I have seen such advice as "use as many money on gambling, as much you can allow to lose". For me this is the most important indicator. I dont understand why should I bother keeping records of my gambling sessions, tracking progress, filling tables with bets data, when I make a decision that today I can spend X on gambling, and I go and gamble?

That's what I means so we can knows how much money that we used and we lose. We can also knows that we must do something if we see our bets record almost break our limits so we can prevents the big lose before it's happens. That notes in XL files will helps us to monitor the used of our money so we can still limits the money and stick to our rules. Yes, we will have willpower to control our gambling activity and not trying to break our rules because we really wants to limits our money and only used gambling as an activity in our free time. That's something we must do to control our gambling activity so we can also avoids the problems from gambling such as addicted to gambling. We don't wants to be addicted to gambling so we must avoids it by always limiting ourselves.

It's one of the best things you can Doing, or one day I tried to keep track of my money in the games and it really wasn't encouraging at all, apart from that as I saw that I had more losses than wins, which I did was supposed to mean that I had to recover that money and the truth is that it is the worst thing I could have done because when I started doing something to play more and earn more what I did was play under pressure and I lost more money, so in view of these things we have to see how things can be done better, what you say is only better, and every time it is played for me it is a game session and everything is new, it is like a restart, playing without needing to be receiving, or playing with pressure For me that is the most important thing.

Not everyone is meticulous and not everyone has the same level of worry, and with the idea of tracking progress along with keeping track of bets I think it's a bit of a hassle, although it's basically for the good of prevention, but if you feel that gambling is not an activity that should be prioritized then I don't think you need to do that, because consciously or unconsciously you will only put the amount that you can afford to lose.

So maybe this kind of action is more recommended for those gamblers who always go overboard in treating their gambling activities for some reason, such as wanting a large amount of winnings, but are we sure that they will be able to do the recording as a benchmark so as not to overdo it? I don't think so, they will not do something that is contrary or that can hinder their intentions and goals even though their intentions and goals are basically harmful to themselves.

It's important to track the progress of how much I'm spending and how much money I'm earning in gambling, this will give me an idea of ​​whether I'm really doing well at gambling or not. When a gambler checks his gambling history, the gambler will understand by himself whether he can afford to lose the money he is spending on gambling or not. But yes tracking these is a lot of trouble but if it is helpful then I am willing to take that effort.
