Do you keep track of your gambling? how?

[maydna]

do you registerhow much you separate for gambling?
do you see it as an investment?

if yes, how do you track it?
simples spreadsheets, physical notebooks or maybe some different way?

I don't have a specific amount that I will use for playing gambling, but if I want to gamble, I will send some money, for example, $10-$20, and it could stay in my account for at least 3-5 days. Perhaps, I only use $40 monthly, but it could be less if I don't visit a gambling site because gambling is another way for me to enjoy my free time. I don't see it as an investment because gambling can make us lose the money, and the chance to lose will be big than to win the money. But I already used some money as the investment, and yes, that was made some money for me.

I don't track my gambling because, as I said before, gambling is not my way of making money, and I gamble to have fun and enjoy my free time.

If I keep a track of money that I used and lose in gambling I will just feel sad on how much I lose LOL, hahaha. For me, gambling is for entertainment and a way to kill time and enjoy. Some people gambling for money to earn is usually lose, so I am just gambling for fun now, sometimes for money too but I am ready to lose that money and that's just my extra money. I usually lose in gambling and sometimes win so if I keep track on it I will just make myself sad considering that I could buy a lot on the money that I lose. Let's just enjoy gambling

actually you don't need to do such mate.

Just enjoy your gaming moment because the more you look for Winning si the more you losses the happiness.

So instead of thinking as investment why not make the place as your Boredom scape place.

I can see some users suggesting notebooks and excel spreadsheets. But the real truth is something different.

As soon as you run this for a month or so you will realize that you are actually losing more than you are winning in a proper scientific evidence which you have recorded on your own. This will either have two effects:

1. If the player is an addicted gambler, they will deny the evidence/record and throw it away to continue gambling, hiding the fact that they are going broke.
2. If the player is a wise gambler, they will accept the losses and either move on or reduce their habits.

I guess thinking of a scenario that a gambler might be addicted will make this monitoring or tracking activity useless.

Why we track our record is just to know the reality, we are treating gambling like business where we tally our income and expenses, and as a businessman with a sound mind, when a business is already not profitable, you will be force to stop it to prevent further damage, same thing goes with gambling, you are likely doing the bookkeeping.

I am using different spreadsheets for every bookie out there. Once every month i migrate all my spreadsheets to my master-spreadsheet. This gives me a good overview of my wins and losses. It also helps me to track my bets and odds. If you trying to be a semi-professional gambler this is essential. You can't just login to a bookie and gamble. You need some kind of strategy - even if you end up loosing a lot (most times) anyway  .

I don't think we should treat gambling like a business, in the end it should be fun, aside from those who see gambling as income. If you see gambling as a kind of income, then exact tracking of the income and expenditure is of course necessary.
For everyone else, it should be enough to keep track of your expenses so as not to run the risk of gambling taking over and sliding into addiction.

Exactly, if you are really into this business the best practice is to sort things out, if you are well aware of those expense money that you are using
you'll be guided to track the right patterns, having tools like this allows you to minimize both your stay and the money that you are using each time
you are seeing that you do have losing streak and the outcome is not favoring you.

Do not track anything in gambling because we have to be prepared to spend money casually in gambling, whatever we do every gamble will certainly experience the same risk of losing money by enjoying it, if we track it my money will be very heavy and sorry because It has done so big out of money in gambling so now enjoy gambling casually.

Gambling is one of the ways to get rid of boredom in this pandemic because we are at home and of course we need entertainment by gambling online.

[Yamifoud]

I don't think that is really in need to track our gambling experience and have a list of it coz I don't make it nor I'd tried to have even before.
If I have a record of my losses since from the very beginning, maybe I can't imagine how much I spend in gambling without having any of it as a return. Maybe I have to regret seeing it which only gives us disappointment than rather enjoy our life in playing. Maybe it was a good idea for some reason but I'd rather than to do that because it doesn't make sense for me by then.

I disagree. No amount of research is enough if luck is not involved and compiling everything into spreadsheets helps organize your bets, but this in no way means that you stand a better chance at winning and strategies don't insure the same either.

It does help to an extent, but you will still need luck on your side in order to win. Organizing stuff is a feel-good technique and nothing more if you ask me.

I have tested in wallet gambling and I like it a lot, as I can log in to a decentralized casino [dApp] using directly my crypto wallet. In one condition: the used wallet must have listed the relevant dApp [decentralized casino] within its database in the wallet menu

Nope, I don't register how much I spend for gambling. Gambling comes anytime not necessarily scheduled so I cannot be accurate on my expenses. But I don't gamble much.

Gambling as investment? Of course not. That must be a silly thing to equate gambling and investment. Investment is for ROI not for fun and burning money. Gambling is the complete opposite.

[Debonaire217]

It's quite an act to measure and becoming curious about betting that is why some people are doing this, they have their own list of funds they've bet, including the time and date regarding it, just to figure out if their number of winnings is higher than their losses and with the over funds alloted to it. But I think with people who are experiencing too much fun while gambling could just bet any amount he wants and not consider the frequency of betting he executes. Because for me, it will not matter anymore, if you win allot like a jackpot in betting on gambling sites. Your mind will look after it like you're being addicted.

Well, What about keep track patterns while betting? Well, in that way, we might find some holes and win allot if we get the strategy to a particular game.

[sheenshane]

For what reason in tracking your losses in gambling? From the start, if you applied this to your self "gamble that you can afford to lose" there's nothing important to know how much your losses or even your winnings.

That is a bad idea if you think gambling is a form of investment, yet you can invest in the online gambling platform bankroll and I think that is what OP means. Don't ever think and treat gambling is a source of income or a sort of investment, think first those consequences of what gambling has.

No, I don't see it as an investment. It's pure gambling money.

So I don't know if we really need to track it. Although I have tried multiple times to write every money that I play, but when I'm on a losing streak, forgot about it and just thinking of recovering the money that I lost which is one of the stupidest thing to do when you are a gambler.

[Naida_BR]

In my initial start of gambling I used to write my gambling activity on a paper.
Now after some years I use spreadsheets that allow me handle my profits and losses and see if I am going to continue betting or stop. If I have a huge streak of losses I usually take a break for a week or two and start over again.

[RapTarX]

I'm not a pro gambler nor an addicted guy. However, when I do gambling on casino, I used to deposit a certain balance and if I can manage to get a good winning, I simply withdraw some part of my winning and leave the rest into the casino. For sportsbet, I have seperate fund with a BTC address which I use only for sportsbet. Hence, I don't need different things to do to track the record.

The good thing when you do have tracks into your wins and losses is that you can foresee if its good to take a break or would continue.It will depend or vary if you do
make profits or suffering from deep loss.Some people prefer on this way and some doesnt really care at all.

We are just the same on which any amount that had been deposited for a specific gambling game doesnt really have any tracks at all because since from the beginning
i do already treat for these funds already lost.

[verita1]

I usually play sometimes because I am not an active player. The times I have won I have invested in crypto or bought something for my home.
Usually, I make a spreadsheet to know how to distribute the good use of my money. Because I have my intention to save for the future of my children.
