In many gambling related topics I have seen such advice as "use as many money on gambling, as much you can allow to lose". For me this is the most important indicator. I dont understand why should I bother keeping records of my gambling sessions, tracking progress, filling tables with bets data, when I make a decision that today I can spend X on gambling, and I go and gamble?
It's important to track the progress of how much I'm spending and how much money I'm earning in gambling, this will give me an idea of whether I'm really doing well at gambling or not. When a gambler checks his gambling history, the gambler will understand by himself whether he can afford to lose the money he is spending on gambling or not. But yes tracking these is a lot of trouble but if it is helpful then I am willing to take that effort.

Not everyone is meticulous and not everyone has the same level of worry, and with the idea of tracking progress along with keeping track of bets I think it's a bit of a hassle, although it's basically for the good of prevention, but if you feel that gambling is not an activity that should be prioritized then I don't think you need to do that, because consciously or unconsciously you will only put the amount that you can afford to lose.So maybe this kind of action is more recommended for those gamblers who always go overboard in treating their gambling activities for some reason, such as wanting a large amount of winnings, but are we sure that they will be able to do the recording as a benchmark so as not to overdo it? I don't think so, they will not do something that is contrary or that can hinder their intentions and goals even though their intentions and goals are basically harmful to themselves.

It's one of the best things you can Doing, or one day I tried to keep track of my money in the games and it really wasn't encouraging at all, apart from that as I saw that I had more losses than wins, which I did was supposed to mean that I had to recover that money and the truth is that it is the worst thing I could have done because when I started doing something to play more and earn more what I did was play under pressure and I lost more money, so in view of these things we have to see how things can be done better, what you say is only better, and every time it is played for me it is a game session and everything is new, it is like a restart, playing without needing to be receiving, or playing with pressure For me that is the most important thing.

Well, in the XL files you can make notes about your bets, but if there are such players, then there are very, very few of them, and this is already the first step towards professional gaming, when every calculation of profit is important for them. I think that I have enough willpower for many things, but I would not be able to keep such records, and not because I am afraid of my losses, that's for sure. Moreover, I would be very curious to know my result for all time, but this is impossible, because I started playing a very long time ago and on different gambling sites. Moreover, these were different games, roulette, poker, sports betting and even slots.
That's what I means so we can knows how much money that we used and we lose. We can also knows that we must do something if we see our bets record almost break our limits so we can prevents the big lose before it's happens. That notes in XL files will helps us to monitor the used of our money so we can still limits the money and stick to our rules. Yes, we will have willpower to control our gambling activity and not trying to break our rules because we really wants to limits our money and only used gambling as an activity in our free time. That's something we must do to control our gambling activity so we can also avoids the problems from gambling such as addicted to gambling. We don't wants to be addicted to gambling so we must avoids it by always limiting ourselves.

Do you have a habit of tracking your gambling progress?
It is part of my playing strategy. Every week, I will have a statistics table of the total number of orders I have placed in a week and from there summarize my profits and losses. Without it, I wouldn't be able to know if my playing method is effective or not. In addition, I can know what level my gambling habits are at, what my betting trends are, and then have solutions to fix them and improve my performance the following week.
Just like been said or mentioned that you could be able to track it out into your deposit page history on how much you have already deposited. If you do find out that you are already spending up too much then
its not that bad to consider on stopping out completely and its true that there's no way on tracking your spending with those overall wager since this is really that between those bets you have made.
Its not something a precise number that you could really be able to look upon. If there's no way that you could really be able to see on how much you have put up then you could always ask to support.
Just like been said that it is really something in default that most platforms are really showing histories on every activity you do made.
So it is being useful only if you keep balance on a gambling platform. I mean when I deposit an amount, when I see I have already lost a significant part of it, only they I should stop. Looks strange. What is going to change if I get back in few hours? Will my "luck meter" reset? Call me narrow minded, but I still dont get how tracking can really help. The only think I would gladly track is time. Sometimes I get so excited, that 30minutes turns into hours. As I usually gamble before sleep, long sessions turn me sleepy next day.its not that bad to consider on stopping out completely and its true that there's no way on tracking your spending with those overall wager since this is really that between those bets you have made.

Responsible gamblers or people who gamble just for fun would barely care about the stats or anything because they aren't gambling to earn money and the budget they use for their gambling activities is always limited and they can afford to lose it. So, they don't care whether they lose or win at the end of the day as they will start their next session with a new budget anyway.
I think it should be done differently. If someone use stats to evaluate how much I can allow to spend on gambling next month, then imo it isnt correct. It looks like planning something after everything has already happened. For example if my budget is $100 a month, and I have won $1000 during month, but lost $850 during same period, I would not plan to spend $150 next month. Anyway, I would only care about deposited-withdrawn ratio, and wont pay much of an attention about win/lose ratio of every slot or game I have used, which slot or game I have played most, wagered most, time spent most and etc.
I think it depends to a person's perspective when it comes to budgeting their money for gambling, because like what I've always do, whenever I gamble, I always track my spending habits, I have a fixed gambling budget that I allocate to myself every time I gamble, and if I'm lucky enough to win, I keep the money I win and never use it to gamble again, I only take the gambling budget then the rest will go to my savings. Just like what I've said, I only have a fixed amount that I follow , if I win or lose, that allocated budget will not change. Every gambling session I do, the budgeted amount I use is the same from the usual budget so I don't think about how much money I should chase.
It will be difficult to track every single progress on our bets. But as gambler i think it is good to focus on the crucial things like; wager, the numbers of wins and lost in a day. This can be done by using a google sheets for storing those information's. Although only gamblers who see gambling like a profession would buy the idea. However, spreadsheet an keep record of dates, wager, wins and losses and sum the total. Its simple just set a calendar for any month. Then list the crucial things into columns and number the rows to the number of days in that particular month. If this strategy is adopted we can be able to see our progress every month we gamble.
I don’t see the point in keeping records with a lot of detail, in my opinion, it is enough to record deposits and withdrawals. I don’t see the point in keeping records with a lot of detail; in my opinion, it is enough to record deposits and withdrawals.
And if we are talking about professional betters (I doubt that professional gamblers exist), then they have a completely different level of fixing their bets, where they track the odds at which the bet was made plus their further changes, etc.

In addition, I can know what level my gambling habits are at, what my betting trends are, and then have solutions to fix them and improve my performance the following week.However, I realize that there is a downside to having to monitor my gambling progress regularly, which is that it sometimes puts pressure on myself. Because I know my performance too well, so if the result of the next week are not as good as last week, sometimes I feel pressured and a little sad. In addition, my gambling experience also lost much of the fun and excitement.
There is nothing bad in the making of such determination in keeping for the track records of our gambling progress, this will serves as reference to us in recent games and we may have a look on them in other to know some areas of our weakness from those previous games and be able to work on them for our own desired future expectations while gambling, this is not aimed at getting us discouraged, but instead we work more on how to use such opportunity in learning one or two things that will be useful and applicable on our future games.
Tracking your gambling activities and progress is something that a responsible gambler would rationally do. For most gamblers, it would help them become able to track their spendings on bets and stakes. In can even go as far as providing an easy and suitable way for the gambler to keep track of the amount of time he spends on gambling activities.The fact is you can't manage something properly if you are unable to keep proper track of it from time to time. Some persons will even argue that people who don't keep track of their spendings are gambling are addicts. Being a responsible gambler isn't that much easy but I believe keeping track of your spendings is definitely important.

you are on the losing side then you would really be able to ask out on how much you have total lost already which is really that unlike into those people who are really that trying out to play and tending to
make deposits just because they've seen that they are already losing and tending to recover up their loses on which this is something which could lead up into disaster. This is why it would really be better that you should really know on how to handle up yourself with your gambling activity on which you cant really just that make yourself that having that lost track on how much you have spent because you might not be able to
wary not until you've seen yourself that messed up your finances.

Do you have a habit of tracking your gambling progress?
No i dont because I only have a fewer gambling activities so that does not even count me to log them.I think this is for those who are in gambling that normally losses or engaging more time because they are the one
that mostly lose or win bigger , and that needs inventory lol.
How can people even track their progress? Writing down on the paper all bets and see how many gambler made of them and win/lose ration will take a lot of time and will distract from the game. If I go to my account on a gambling platform I see amount wagered, in which cryptocurrencies it was made, and in which game. But I know most of that info just by playing games I like most. What can I do with info, if I have wagered 1 BTC in dice, and 0.00000001 BTC in hi-lo, besides knowing that I place dice more often. I know info that without statistics. How can this even help me or be useful?

Google sheet, dates, wins, losses - you are turning gambling into bookkeeping. Gambling suppose to bring fun, or money. But instead I should sit and fill the table every time I make a bet. I think no one would do this. This will end with getting numbers that will have no informational value. Statistics wont tell if next bet is a 100% win or lose. Dont try to compare predictions in gambling with predictions in marketing.

Tracking our activities whether in gambling or not is one of the ways we could make more money and know how we have been spending money in gambling. It is very important for us as a wise gambler to think and keep accessing our past record to know how one could make sure that we don't do things that will make us regret because when we don't track pass activities in gambling, it could result to lots of problems that could make things more expensive for one to meet up with other need without knowing that more of the funds has been spent to play careless gambling that never yield any result.

I have no time for that, if I lose then it's the same as throwing thrash to the garbage can and that will be forgotten forever. But I understand that many still that do track their progress to see if there's something good happening on them. With the losses that I am having, it's best to have it forgotten so that I can easily move on and that's the reason why I think that it's best to not to track my progress and most importantly, as long as I am not addicted then I am good.
I don't have any time to do that either. In fact, I don't track even my personal finances: I always follow my guts. I mean, I know what is right and what is wrong, and I try to act accordingly. No need to use a spreadsheet for that.
That said, I know people who like following the track of every single expense, and back to gambling, I find it practical for who believe they should control their activity. This is not my case, I bet little and for fun, so there is no progress to track I guess.
It would really be that impossible that you cant really be able to notice it out. Also, if you are really that not that much too serious on playing gambling and do only play for the sake of fun and not for money
then it would really be that best on having that kind of approach. We do really know that having that moderation and having that tracking with your gambling spending is crucial.
Getting lost with your spending or having no awareness on how much you do have lost already is really that dangerous. Play on the amount on which you can afford to lose then
you would really be just that fine but if not then this is where problems or issues would really be starting to come out.
We must also not forget that calculating our profits and losses is complicated by the fact that many players play on different gambling sites and also deposit and withdraw funds there. I think that there is software that can allow us to accurately monitor the progress of our numbers, and if it does not exist, then it would have to be invented. I like accuracy in small things, but I would think twice about whether to do this in gambling, because approximately I understand that in the end I am a loser or a gainer. Also, many players do not want to see this accuracy due to the fact that they have lost large amounts and do not want to face the truth. This is the case when they do not see this lost amount of money and think it is something imaginary, but it is not correct to think so. Because they will have to go to a real job where they will have to work in real reality.
If you calculate your win and lose, you will see your lose will be bigger than your win. That can makes you still wants to playing gambling, whether to recover your losses or win the games. Many people do this as they doesn't wants to accept their losses so they still playing gambling and hopes that they can win much money. They forgets that playing gambling too long can makes them spends much money and makes their emotion becomes high which can leads them to use more money. But they will not win the games easily as gambling is not an source of income.Tracking your gambling activity can be done but you must remember that you must not trying to recover your loses as that can makes your losses becomes bigger. You can make a note from XL files or other software to tracking your gambling activity to see how much money you already spent.
