Do you keep track of your gambling? how?

[bitcoinst]

Tracking such activity can be a great and indispensable tool in terms of financial regulation.

At one time, I used special programs, which greatly simplified tracking. The programs were quite specific and provided for a narrow range of card games.
Nevertheless, I am sure that any recording method will do. Most likely there are even special programs that provide ready-made interfaces for recording your activity, which will have to be done manually, of course.

I like the idea itself in that it is similar in effect to maintaining a budget (income and expenses). This helps to control the money component of your life and not spend money on unnecessary things.

[Renampun]

I've never done this...
I'm not too focused on playing gambling, playing gambling with a small capital on a smartphone to fill free time is my habit, and I think tracking gambling results is not very important. if you are indeed unlucky and do not have the skills then you will still lose despite tracking your gambling results every day IMO.

I keep looking for my gamble to gamble Because I gamble with my phone I rarely use a laptop. That's why we can easily enter the gambling site wherever we are and easily follow who is betting and how. However, if you do not know too much about gambling the damage is greater I have earned a lot from here That's why I stay active most of the time and try to follow it better.

[Wexnident]

Perhaps I misunderstood you, but I want to clarify - if you do not record, then how do you understand which strategy works and which doesn't? From the point of view of common sense and mathematics, this can only be seen at some distance.

Is there a game that actually lets you see the strategy to win based on past matches? I mean, the most you could record is the amount you win and lose, and depending on the game, the number of tries you did. And if you did actually find a pattern, then that's just you literally brute-forcing logic out of something that isn't logical. Calculating your chances of winning? Then don't bother gamblling, cause in a sense, gambling is a game where you throw calculated chances and just leave it to luck. That's basically the reason why a person can become an instant millionaire in just one try.

Tracking such activity can be a great and indispensable tool in terms of financial regulation.

This is the main reason why you keep track of your gambles. To know how much you've spent, and to control, regulate it and manage it properly in the sense that spending money on gambling would not affect your personal life in any way, mostly in terms of financial management used in your everyday expenses.

But what if you're playing on a gambling game that doesn't require strategy?

It will be nonsense for tracking your winning and losses on a game like dice because even you check your recent matches, it won't do anything. Instead of learning something, it'll make you upset knowing that you've already acquired a lot of losses. But I agree that observation on your recent matches will help you if the game was strategical.

In any case, tracking statistics is very useful - for example, we can see the actual loss-making of the game and compare it with the “theoretical” one. Over a long distance, these data must match. If this data does not coincide strongly, then there is a chance that the casino is not fair.

I see my gambling as an investment and always keep my records whenever I gamble. New gamble always have it capital to enable me track my loss and gains while I proceeds in the game. From past till present, I go through my records on monthly basis to ascertain my level of progress while I re-strategize my movement. This has actually helped me in control of my addiction, though this addiction isn't the type you know on this platform lol.

I salute that kind of approach in gambling as I myself are also trying my journey to be investing with my skills gambling in sports.

If you are serious with gambling or you call it as investment, you need to ensure you have a decent amount of capital that you can use over the duration of your long gambling activity, this is about consistency, success can't be achieve in just a very short period of time especially in skilled based type of games of whatever game you choose.

I stop for a gambling for a while now, but when I gamble before I set aside the amount I am going to gamble. I don't keep track of it using physical things like notebook, phone etc. It just automatically registers in your mind whenever a gambling day ends. Did I win? or did I just lose. Isn't it normal for all the gamblers?

Anyways, I think I was like that because I only play with a certain amount of money in my hand. I never go beyond. I have this fix amount of money that helps me determine if I win or lose. And nope, I never see it as an investment but I always want to win even if its just an enjoyment.

This one is a good choice to do especially if you don't want to be stressed or depressed whenever you gamble and lost. Basically, if you aren't playing that much, you can try and weigh whenever you win or lose in a day, then forgetting what happened in that day just carrying the lessons you have learned. This will make you even happier than tracking each and every games by listing it or typing it in any spreadsheet though, it seems like more reasonable and efficient, you might want to choose between becoming reasonable and happy.

Well it is very easy to keep track of your gambling activity by just keeping an eye to your balance.
If your balance is decreased you lose, if it is increased you win. Usually people lose so it is a matter of fact to understand how much money you lose.

I find excel spreadsheet very simple and easy to use for that. You can even add a few graphs to make it easier to track gains/losses on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.

Same as me, I do not track my gambling profit and losses. Gambling for me is also a kind of pass time. I do not take it seriously. If I think I already lose in too many rounds then I stop. If I win then I feel bless. But of course not all people are like us. I understand why they need to track theor gambling activities.

Some gamblers like to take the challenge when they are challenge and that happens especially when they lose money in gambling, they don't want to stop until they lose everything, and that's the kind of behavior that might make a person successful or will just fail in the end.

As they say, high risk if you succeed, you'll get high reward, but unfortunately, only few succeeds in gambling.

People should be keeping a record in whatever way they find it simple. Idea should be that need to know how money they either won or loss in gambling and in future if they continue in this way will they be able to sustain as many become addictive in it and end up losing not just money but many other things as well.

[Fredomago]

do you registerhow much you separate for gambling?

Nope never did i since i started playing gambling when i was young.

do you see it as an investment?

gambling as an investment?is this a serious question?

if yes, how do you track it?

never track it because i never did.

simples spreadsheets, physical notebooks or maybe some different way?

for those i find doing this?they have spreadsheet that keeps them track about their spend and wins in gambling.

[Vishnu.Reang]

I never keep track of my individual bets for the long term, but for the last 12 years I have strictly followed a maximum threshold on the amount being gambled every month. I never cross this threshold, even if I get good returns from any of my bets. And trust me, this has helped me enormously over the years. Saved me from heartburn and financial ruin.

[Beparanf]

At first I try to record it, but as time passes by the more I lose or win the eager I add deposit amount in casino in online gambling. It is hard when you are able to win and then lose that you will really try hard to win back those loses even you think you're dedicated from the start not to over game or be addicted. Salute, to those who are able to be consistent on their plans on sticking to their plan or goals not to be addicted since it's really hard once you're playing.

If gambling is for fun, then you might be able to set a limit on the money you will spend on gambling every month. But what if gambling is intended as a way to get money for some people ? I am very not sure they can do it.

Tracking the profits and losses in gambling is not something that is important to me because I never care how much money I spend there. Fun cant be measured by money, and as an effort to prevent financial and other damage, I only play when I have leftover money. Not specifically, but only at certain moments.

[bitbunnny]

I don't keep any kind of evidence. I'm not professional gambler, I gamble for fun and entertainment so I.think I don't need that.
I know that some players have spreadsheets and similar to keep track of their gambling which is actually good but it's not necessary in every case.
Since I gamble for fun I only spend the leftovers after all my expenses are covered so I can manage that even without evidence.

Good thing if you do able to treat up this way but not all would have the same mindset towards gambling that they should only play just for fun not for chasing up on making profits.

Tracking is just good when you do sports betting where you can able to make up some bankroll management if you do tend to make most out of your allocated bankroll to enjoy it even more longer.

It depends though because if you do apply this one for dice then you do just basically after on making money but for sports then its one of the techniques for you to enjoy and at the same time you do

lessen up the risk.
