Are You Using A Journal Spreadsheets Will Pave The Way For Addiction To Gambling

[coin-investor]

There is a thread about a guy who created a thread about his bet and will make it his journal for betting

Hi everyone, I am going to attempt to turn 0.05 BTC into 1.7 BTC with football/soccer betting. I will be using this post as a journal for my bets.

I want to ask: Are Using A Journal or Spreadsheets Will Fave The Way For Addiction To Gambling? My reasoning is that by creating a spreadsheet or a journal, you are taking gambling seriously and looking for ways and a means to win in sports betting or luck-based games.

Does anyone here have their own journal or spreadsheets, and are you taking gambling seriously?

No I don't have a journal or a spreadsheet period for me gambling is all about entertainment and having fun period anything more than this is getting addicted and needs to be nipped in the bud. The only time I can think about having a spreadsheet for gambling is to record my budget and how much I spent on gambling per month and have a total of it and the end of every year. I consider this part of my personal finances plan.

I never do that I stick with my allocation and just rely on my analysis and other analyses, that is on sports betting and when it comes to luck-based games I rely on luck and hunch because using a spreadsheet on luck-based is totally useless I am more concerned on the time I spent I always wish that before I lose my bankroll I get more hours to enjoy my session.

To be honest, I want to start testing.

Using a spreadsheet, bankroll with 900$, doing 3 sections (Morning, Daylight, and Night) with a target of around 35$/each section. I just want to test these with around 1 month, and see the result.

I started around the middle of the month, at the time of getting my paycheck. If successfully reaching around 300-400$ profit, I will pull out my bankroll and starting using the profit for the bankroll.

Gambling is never amongst my source of payrolls so it don't see senses in creating a spreadsheet for monitorship.
I would only set-up a gambling budget and schedule myself on sequences of when and when not to gamble.

It is a game of luck and does not Worth keeping those record tracks.

Gambling should just be for fun. I do not see having a journal to be good if you are gambling. What that is most important to gambers is to have a gambling budget and the gambling budget should be of very low amount of money. It is obvious that the guy is taking gambling seriously like he wants to use it to make money but that is just a way to addiction. If it will not lead to addiction, it is still just a way to lose that money.

Nah, mate, I don't think we need journals for our gambling bet on how much we are +/-. Might just put to much pressure on the gambling to let's say he see that he has been losing money already and so he continues to play just to break even.

But some of us are just enjoying or having some fun so this kind of journal will not serve any purpose.

And isn't if if he has reach 1.7 BTC then he should stop as he had that goal reach already. So regardless if you are going to write it down, it won't change anything as long as we you have a goal in your mind.

I don't think so, it only shows that you're organized and you're making a journal out of it. So, that means that you're still in control and if ever your plan didn't go accordingly, you have contingency plans.

My reasoning is that by creating a spreadsheet or a journal, you are taking gambling seriously and looking for ways and a means to win in sports betting or luck-based games.

That's true because you've got a plan of growing your bankroll. We've got different descriptions about what addiction is but for me, I don't think that this is addiction.

I do take my bets seriously but not to that point that it will cause me addiction.

Personally I don't think so, the guy who created the thread is talking about sports gambling, where there is scope to win if you are skilled enough, so if anything it might help him to succeed. And whoever does that and loses money will make him see his losses clearly, so I think it is preventive because degenerate gamblers often lose track of what they have lost.

i don't think that it's important enough for me to be able to keep a journal or anything about my gambling, because it's just a hassle and it reduces the fun of gambling, so i don't have the intention to keep a journal or anything like that. i prefer to stick to my bankroll and play on that, it's easier and more fun, compared to having to make my bets on a journal.

Using a journal or a Spreadsheet will not lead to gambling addiction.. Gambling addiction is the result of irresponsible gambling. An irresponsible gamble doesn't even keep track of their gambling in any way. Keeping track of their gambling is simply holding themselves accountable. And one thing we know is that those guys hate accountability.

I am not sure about this however I think that professional gamblers are one group of people who have have a journal or spreadsheet where they record their profits and losses and keep to it strictly. Of course in the long run, it helps them in their evaluation of their gambling and gives them directions on their gambling to make an informed decision.

If I'm not mistaken, gambling has nothing to do with Journals or Spreadsheets, both of which are features that are often used by students in completing their Descriptive Studies in college work.
There are several courses that require completing a Descriptive Study about gambling.
For example: Journal
Gambling is a poor culture.

In general, journals are divided into several sections such as scientific journals, they are often related to methods of publishing the results of their research, whether it is soccer gambling, slots, Blackjack and so on all aim to show the student's character in communicating with each other in the academic world.
Likewise, the Spreadsheet feature aims to make it easier for students to manage or analyze their gambling data or to make it easier for them to analyze automatic gambling data.

Conclusion: because the user @savingformedschool is a medical student, so I'm not sure he's really a serious gambling addict, I suspect he just wants to communicate here, to complete his medical studies.
The problem with what he said in the title, I think it's just his luck or Demo gambling, which is basically: I never use the journal or Spreadsheet feature, because I'm not a Descriptive Study gambler.

A lot of persons who takes gambling seriously either turned an addicted winner or an addicted loser. I don't want to fall in the category of addiction so I don't bother creating any serious plans before gambling. I've never taught of creating a journal or spreadsheet before and don't think there's any need. There are two times I gamble. The first is when there's an important sport match that I know and I'm sure have good odds of winning. And the other when I'm less busy, I play casino games. So I don't put too much efforts on my gambling activities because I don't want to be among those addicted.

I think majority of us who gamble here in this forum don't do that thing because I personally didn't do that myself as that is time consuming and also I am not taking gambling very seriously especially nowadays where I find it hard to spend my hard earned money just for it.

[crwth]

Fave? As in favorite? Or pave?

I think taking it to the every detail that you manage to use an excel spreadsheet every step of the way is one of the best ways to really be serious about things and it could show you something that you might not have seen if you hadn't done it.

I do journal but not with having an excel spreadsheet, just writing my experiences for the day.

[Frankolala]

I gamble for fun, and I don't take it that serious to the extent that I will have a spread sheet or journal to keep record of my gambling activities. Whenever I am gambling, I see it as fun because I am using an amount that will not affect me after the game.

Keeping record of my gambling activities is already easy for me, as I have a percentage that I assign to my gamble budget. So it is easy for me to know how much I have used to gamble in the year, because I just do my simple multiplication. If I win and lost it back to gamble, I don't count it as money that I lost.

[ajiz138]

Previously, there were people who asked here where they questioned the gambling record for a month or year then it was the same as not a journal that wanted to know our average bet won or lost, but I didn't do that because gambling should be a pleasure not a journal.

If there is a spreadsheet or journal then they will take gambling seriously maybe he will consider whether it is profitable or not, but I don't do that gambling will not be taken seriously even though they often play gambling every weekend or when there is a big match.

One thing I do in gambling, if you lose it doesn't matter if you win then it's a luck that should be enjoyed.

[Natalim]

I do, because I mean business. Yes, I'm serious with gambling so I made a spreadsheet of my bet to monitor my performance. Just a bankroll, and your bet and its outcome, as simple as that, with a profitable outcome, that means you are succesful with gambling.

Actually, everyone who like to try their journey with gambling should make a record of their bets, I'm talking about a particular  gambling type which is sports betting, as for me this requires skills to win and we can't lie to ourselves if there's a spreadsheet that will tell our peformance.

Does it prevent addiction? I don't know, maybe, but it's not guaranteed.

Taking gambling seriously is having a document to record how you manage your bank roll. Isn't it called bank roll management? It doesn't have to be a journal or spreadsheet. It could be something as informal as writing it on a note app on your phone. No matter how we have chosen to look at it, gambling must be done deliberately if not, there is a chance that one will go ahead to spend money they cannot afford to lose unknowingly.

Spreadsheets will make you to manage proper your bankroll because you will consider your current bankroll size for your bet size. Let’s say I started with 1000$ then went down by a 100$, I will start adjusting my bet size increase/decrease depending on my situation.

Just like trading,  a record of your activity will help you to assess your current status.

Don’t need since casino offers a transaction history that works same as spreadsheets and journal. Besides, you can always request for your account summary to casino support to save time on recording your data.
