Besides keeping track the bet sizes would matter more. When winning or losing people tend to make bigger bets what carries more risk.  Keeping track wont help to win more or less.

A golden rule is moderation. Learn to moderate how, when and the wager with which you gamble. No when to take your profits and also when yo cut of your loss.
Addiction has cost a lot of gamblers lots of money.

The habit that you have to avoid when gambling is:

Don't make a lot of bet while gambling

This is the reason why people lose. When you make a lot of bets, you decrease your probability of winning in total profits.

Making lots of bets not increasing your chances to win

Those people who do not keep track of money in gambling loses more money than the others.
This seems to be a decent habit to avoid the loss of money and also limiting yourself to the fix amount of funds. Also, in case of a win, you may add them in your next week balance, so you can enjoy gambling with a bigger bankroll.

Set a budget for a certain length of time and stick to it. If possible, try not get it down to zero. Once you run out of money, you can't deposit more.

For example if you set a weekly budget and lost all that, you don't replenish it until the next week. The good thing about setting a fixed budget for a regular interval is you can track if you are earning anything.

The worst of gambling habits that can cost a gambler is when winning and still want to win more thereby end up losing the entire winning and run into loss and still want to get or recover the lost. Never try to recover your lost when you are losing in any gambling platform's.

Maybe find friends that will let you entertain on productive things than being entertained on gambling. It might escape you into the addiction of gambling, just always think about your future so you can manage your life.

Gambling addiction is a very serious thing, don't let yourself go to that situation.

This is a good advise to people who want to escape the trap of gambling yes, but I know it is the most difficult thing to do. At the time you are ahead, you are tempted to hold more longer  lf you are not lucky, it might go wrong. 

It's a really good list. I don't know about nr 1 but if you say that it's a trap I won't argue. The rest could be put under one short headline: don't be irresponsible. Gambling when drunk or with borrowed money or in anger is not a good idea. No responsible person will do it.

I hope some of the newbies who come here thinking of becoming rich will read your points and learn something.

- Quit while you're ahead.

- Don't make a new deposit to recuperate losses.

I think the habits that should gamblers be aware of is being serious to gamble.

We should never be serious with gambling, it should be a way of entertaining yourself, to have fun since if you will be serious with gambling, you will be losing your money and you will be losing your temper that usually leads to more losses. Atleast if you are having fun, you are still losing money but you are having fun.

Those that have been gambling for a long time will agree with some of these bad habits (if I may call them this) which I have found to have a negative effect on our gambling experience.

Any comments or additions, drop them in the thread

1. Cancelling a withdraw because the sportsbook takes long to process it or because you saw a game you think will bring easy profit, stop right here.. my advice don't even think about cancelling this it's a trap that will leave you with no money to withdraw.

2. Don't gamble while you are intoxicated, for obvious reasons judgement is impaired and you will be reckless with how you play.

3. Never gamble with money that isn't yours, this includes taking out loans for the purpose of gambling  because this always ends in you losing all the sourced funds and will result in putting yourself in bad books with friends and family.

4. Avoid accumulators, sometimes these are good but if you in it for the money avoid them! I know many will say if you don't risk it you won't win or say something like "go big or go home" but honestly think about it , you place an accumulator with 3 games and 2 games with big odds of 5 and 7 odds go through and you are left with the multiplier of 1.2 odds which goes on to lose I guess you get my logic

5. Avoid gambling when you are angry or feeling emotional about something or someone, this too affects your game. If it helps talk or see someone before you do something you will regret.
