Topic: Do you have a habit of tracking your gambling progress? - page 14. (Read 2383 times)

No time to track my gambling progress once I bet and won I move on and If I lose I would wait for another opportunity again afterall there are many opportunities ahead, gambling is a game of luck backtesting results or checking my gambling progress wouldn't change any thing all I needed is to make through analysis of the matches ahead in order to bet on potential winning games and peradventure if I incurred consistent losses I do take a break which means I am out of luck and would strife hard to make a positive comeback, however I only bet with the amount of money I can afford to lose thus I don't feel sad in any case of losing any bet.

Gambling's attraction is strong, braided with chance and luck. I agree that moderation is vital. With limits, gambling may be fun. Risking little amounts protects against larger losses.

Based on my own experiences, gambling's joy is the act, not the result. The anticipation and delight of tiny bets are unique entertainment. Not recording gaming history is a double-edged sword. It protects one from prior losses but hides gambling's full financial and health effects.

Your response to changing gambling locations reflects a life strategy: adaptability. New surroundings can change one's outlook and luck after repeated failures.

Tracking progress is not that hard to do since casino have stats on everything that you do inside. Some casino have dedicated stats on the profile page or on your loyalty page. You can also use the live support to ask this personally and they email it to you since some user needs it for filing their taxes.


I think anyone that gambling chase to win. I’m not sure how do you play but that’s the reason why you will have fun on gambling or else just play a regular game without money involved. Chasing your losses is probably what you meant because that is different than chasing profit.

Do you feel happy when you're record your gambling activity? personally I'm not.

When you're track your spending, you will feel not happy or regret when you're spend more money for unnecessary thing e.g. entertainment, new clothes, eat in fancy restaurant etc. I always think like "I shouldn't go to this place, don't buy this and don't play this to saves more money". Moreover it's wasting time since you can use your journaling time for other important thing.

You can gamble as much as you want, but make sure it's never exceed your monthly income.

I did a data search at a sports book to find out my gambling win and loss statistics but found no data after more than 6 months. I didn't really need it though. I think that those who find gambling a source of pleasure do not need to get data. Moreover, such data will not be of much use to sports bettors in recent times. But even if professional gamblers could benefit from that data to some extent, I don't think it would be very effective. I myself do not care about my gambling win or loss statistics. In gambling I have no record of getting good results and gambling by following past records that are completely uncertain.

Tracking wins and losses, stats, and all that stuff can definitely feel like a buzzkill. But listen, even though having fun is key, it's important to be smart about it too. Ignoring everything but the fun can be tricky. Chasing wins can lead you to push your limits further than you intended, and before you know it, that rollercoaster ride takes a sharp turn you weren't prepared for.

Responsible gambling isn't about being a party pooper, it's about making sure the party stays fun and doesn't turn into a headache. It's about setting limits beforehand, taking breaks when needed, and remembering that gambling is just that – a game, not a guaranteed win.

But somehow its helpful to track your stats so that you can identify your current status and adjust on situation base on what it shows to you. Since not tracking may lead us to become denial on everything happening especially on our lose and might we can gamble again since we think its still fine. Unlike if we track our losses where we can possibly know how much many we earn and lose and if we are really winning. For sure with this we will be careful or responsible enough to deal with our gambling activities. Also maybe for this it can help us go away on situation thay we don't want to happen since our stats will remind us not to exceed on our limits.

What's the essence of even tracking my gambling progress when I already know what the outcome would be. Every gambler should always have it in mind that gambling was designed to always favor the casino more than the gamblers. There isn't a gambler who can come here and tell me that his winnings are more than his losses, because that's not the case, every gambler's losses are always more than the winnings.

It's just as if you're paying for a passage fee to come take something from someone else's house. There's no assurance that you'll take it successfully or if you'll be caught, so the chances are 50/50, I think the chances are more of 70/30, 70 for the casino and 30 for you. So you that the casino is at greater advantage than the gamblers, but the casino makes us Believe that the chances are 50/50 or that our chances winning is higher than Losing, by making gambling appear to be just too easy to win, which is rather the opposite.
This is the only reason I know anyone would want to track his gambling progress, to know if his winnings are higher than the loses. Lol... Lameeee.

I always keep tabs on what I spend, and that includes any money I might throw into gambling. It just helps me stay on top of where my money is going and how it's impacting my overall finances


Isnt that so stereotyping? Tracking your gambling activities is a smart move for anyone. It helps you understand how it affects your finances, whether you're just having fun or need to keep a closer eye on things

I used to try to track my progress in gambling, but lately this tracking has been limited to allocating a certain amount of money for a gambling session and ends up emptying my deposit. There is no point in controlling anything else, as it does not depend much on it. I act within my risk management and it is enough for me. Everything else depends on luck.

Nope.

For a responsible gambler it's no need to track your gambling activity, to know if you're a responsible gambler is you have a good amount of saving/investment, gambler less than your monthly income, and never face any problem due to gambling.

For an addict, I suggest to track your gambling activity, record every money you gamble and how much profit you've make, so you will know if gambling is really can be used to make money or not.

Gambling progress track? Let's be honest - this is a serious risk, not a hobby. Gambling is a spiral, thus I don't track "progress" in gambling. This technique usually leads to a road you don't want to go

The deal: Without limitations, healthy gambling is impossible. Here, boundaries mean hard stops. The science shows that our brains are hooked on highs and lows, fooling us into thinking the next big win is coming. The cycle is harmful. The only 'tracking' you should do is tracking your gambling urges. The house always wins, and you? Game intended to lose

Yeah, I've done this before when I was a newbie like every time I gamble, I always compare my progess between win and loss but later on, when I decided to follow my own strategy, I'd never track my progess because my ultimate goal why I'm doing this is of course to make money while having fun, and to achieve that, I need to become more responsible in my finances, time, and bank roll. Sometimes, when we are always paying attention in our gambling progress, we don't notice that we are losing focus and we are under pressure to recover all the lost money.

A newbie needs to  set up a system to track how he plays how much money he is losing and winning, and if he is doing it right, for a regular gambler needs to track the system or the habit he set up if he is still following this system, following your progress is very important this is a sign or the behavior of a responsible gambler
he needs to update and assess himself if he is still a responsible gambler or going off the mark with his budget and allocated time.

The temptation to bet more or play longer hours is always there, sometimes we lose ourselves when we become too excited and too anxious to regain what we've lost, so we need to assess even weekly so we can judge ourselves if we are still what we want to become in gambling or we are departing from our plan.

No, I don't have the habit of tracking my gambling progress. But if I want the data, I can check it in my status history in my gambling account. From there, I can find out many things about deposits, withdrawals, or betting. But I don't need that because it will make me think about my wins and losses and can make me want to recover from the losses because the number of losses will be greater than the number of wins. It's better for me to just gamble as usual and not think about my gambling progress because that could cause problems for me later. Using gambling as part of my entertainment will not make me think about gambling all the time.

Gamblers who engage in gambling for fun don't have time to look back at how much they have spent on gambling, I believe that when it hurts is when we always feel like looking back, that's why it's for our own sake when we risk small amount of cash on gambling.

I have never thought of tracking my past gambling progress because I understand how important luck is in this field, luck is all you need in gambling to make your day a good one, but it won't happen all the time, to avoid bad stories later you must use small money, by the time you get lucky you will feel more appreciated of yourself with your strategy.

The only time I feel like I need to change my gambling locations is when the losses have happened too many times, I always knew this because when months ends I always have things to do on my calender, which makes me think about my gambling activities, if it's been a month or two and no good luck I will opt for another online casino.

Moreover, it will only make us feel regretful because the percentage of progress in gambling is very small and there will always be much greater setbacks that occur, losses will always have quite significant numbers than wins.
But if we look at progress in attitudes, mindsets and also responsible decisions then it is clear that there will be differences between the past and the present, perhaps we can be much better and can actually have much more appropriate attitude and mindset.
Learning from bad experiences will be much better than tracking the progress we have while in gambling, no gambler will actually be able to have progress that is good enough if it is about success.
I myself think that success in gambling is when we as gamblers can be in safe conditions and steps to minimize all excessive failures, besides being able to have control and sense of responsibility.
This is the attitude of gamblers who are truly successful and have success from gambling because most gamblers still always make the wrong steps and in the end they always experience losses without any limits.

But on the other hand I don't believe that seeing progress in gambling will be able to make gambler stop and of course when they see what the actual results are then emotions will increase and they can gamble even crazier.
All of this happens because gamblers see various failures and also number of losses that they cannot accept well.

A lot of gambling sites will actually keep tabs on how you're doing for you, which can be nice I guess.  And I know some gamblers use those stats to help control their gambling and stay disciplined which could be useful. Personally though, I tend not to check up on my progress too much.  Seeing those stats can get kind of disheartening, you know?  Getting bummed out seeing I'm down $200 bucks over the last month really isnt helping my morale.  So I just play my game and try not to overthink it. And I'm not playing with huge stacks of cash or anything here so I don't really feel a need to closely monitor all my bets and wins and losses and whatnot.

I've been tracking my "progress" or my plays in general here on forum since several years.

it's a way to also give "suggestions" to other users, it's a way to check what wins and what doesn't.
many don't do it out of laziness, but it's a serious mistake!!! You must keep track of it, it helps to play better!

I don't do that, I think even though there are gamblers who do this, the percentage is very small because let alone gambling, many traders don't even track their trading results and only focus on the results they get.
Likewise with gamblers, winning will be enough to make them forget about previous results so they won't feel the need to track their gambling progress, or they can just check the progress from the casino account level because from there you can also see how much has been bet and check the withdrawal section for how much which has been withdrawn, but as I mentioned, usually a one-time win makes the gambler forget the previous results so they don't really feel the need to track the progress of their gambling because that's what I feel so far.
