Do you have a habit of tracking your gambling progress?

[bitvalak]

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.

Do you have a habit of tracking your gambling progress?

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.

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.

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.

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.

[KosmoKisa]

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.

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 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

[the rise]

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[retreat]

Do you have a habit of tracking your gambling progress?

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.

[danherbias07]

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.
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.

[pinggoki]

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.
