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?

[Hispo]

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.

Do you have a habit of tracking your gambling progress?

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 

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.

Do you have a habit of tracking your gambling progress?

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.

Do you have a habit of tracking your gambling progress?

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.

Do you have a habit of tracking your gambling progress?

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.

[Oshosondy]

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.

[dothebeats]

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.

[EarnOnVictor]

Do you have a habit of tracking your gambling progress?

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.

[JoyMarsha]

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.

[ryzaadit]

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.
