Is There A Time That You Calculated All Your loses In One Year One Online and Offline

This is the most depressing thing to do, you'll be surprised at the amount, I did this 4 years ago on offline number betting and Lottery I kept all the tickets I sometimes win 3rd and 4th prizes but every time I won consolation I increase my tickets I consider this a sign that I will hit the jackpot soon but unfortunately it never happens.

When I count all my losses on numbers and the lottery it's enough to buy a small parcel of a lot and build a bungalow type and we're just renting a room back then.

Again I did it 3 years ago when I become active in online casinos and the amount is also depressing I could have bought a tricycle that I can use for a living.

So I stopped counting my losses and just minimize my betting I just tried to be happy on the thought that I have good times betting and I enjoy the thrill.

You have said it yourself that it is the most depressing thing to do and I agree to that 100%.
You should never consider counting losses "in gambling" because you will end up getting depressed.
We all know that most of our bets are losses and even if we win, we gamble again and eventually lose it all.
So when we already know that the number will be huge then to waste our time counting the losses when we know it will be depressing.
Besides that, gambling is for fun and why to calculate losses when it was fun to gamble that money.

I voted for NO, in the beginning, I might have at some point trying to at least write down my loses. But in the end, I say "f**k" it, I will just play whatever I want without looking at how much I lost vs my winnings.

Because just like in your case, it might be depressing on how big the money that I have totally lost on gambling already and for sure I will feel shit about it. I just the key and what we have heard so many times, just play the money that you can afford to lose. And with that, you don't need to look back at your gambling activity and those 'what if' scenario.

I guess anyone who has been consistently losing would definitely take some time to actually count the cumulative lost he has inquired during his gambling sessions but this act has a negative effect on the gambler likewise a positive one too.

The negative part would be that the gambler would be depressed after seeing that he has actually lost a very huge money during his gambling likewise the positive part would for the gambler to actually find a solution to the issue if the loses have exceeded the limit of his gambling behavior.

If you are gambling with money you should be using to acquire goods you need for a living you are playing in the wrong way. If you feel regretful for not having purchased a tricycle, because you used that money to gamble and lost, it means you should have prioritized that first or at least decreased the amount of money you were using to gamble.

The main goal of a gambler should be to feel satisfied after the betting session and detached from any sums of lost money. However, if that is something disturbing the gambler due to still being attached to the lost money, he has to review his habits, reconfiguring them to best fulfills his needs and welfare.

So anyway, I applied as a merit source :)

Seems like a good deterrent for those who are gambling without self-control, those numbers should make their hearts skip and beat and they would sweat for a while to see how much they could have saved that year.

But it might not work for everyone, because I remember seeing a casino player on youtube who uploads their games do such a calculation on how much they have lost over a year and still gambles the same. Obviously they earn from youtube itself and the affiliate commissions, but its a difficult life to lead with an addiction growing inside.

Most gamblers who end up getting wasted are those who cannot budget their playing money. By nature gamblers are impulsive and thus its common.

Gambling is for fun for people that just make it fun and entertaining. But if you think you want to make money from gambling, that is when it would become something very difficult and it can lead to money loss. All I can say is that people should take gambling as something fun and nothing more. Just use small amount of money for it, an amount of money that you can afford to lose.

If gambling is for fun then gamblers will never calculate their losses when betting and in fact those who say gambling is just for fun are still calculating losses and regret it if they lose large amounts of money.
I don't believe people who say they can accept defeat even in large numbers because they must also have thoughts of recovering losses and are angry about their defeat.

Have you forgotten that gambling gives a sense of curiosity, so even if they use a small amount of money, if there is a big enough opportunity, they will deposit some more money so they can bet more.

Evaluating your activities, especially the financial aspect is very important. It will help show you if you are spending too much, small or moderately. At least it was from your yearly evaluation that were able to know that what you have lost on gambling will be enough to build a house and put in place an investment. It might be very annoying and depressing but it should be a time to replan and cut your budget on gambling.

Auditing your financial operations gives you the uncommon privilege of identifying what to do to get the best out of gambling and your life. I will suggest you have a budget on how to use your income. You need to build a house and get that tricycle and gambling shouldn't be a stumbling block because you can always control your gambling expenses. For me counting your losses or wins is advisable if you have the time and ability.

I have never done it as if I had done it I would stop gambling immediately as I know I would be massively in red.The fact that I and a lot of other gamblers come back in gambling is that because we see occasionally people winning it big through news online,streamers in Youtube and other platforms so I keep saying to myself that one day I will be the one to be on the news by hitting that huge multiplier of x100000 my bet for example.

If we do it systemically we would all be able to stop gambling in a really fast way but no,most of us don't do it and we keep dreaming about that big of a win,when will be our time to hit it.

Although I don't really gamble that much in a year, I never tried calculating or taking records of my losses in gambling cause I know, I'll just end up regretting losing that certain amount of money. The same thing goes for the amount of money you spend on unnecessary things. Once you've seen all the amount of money you used and you lose, you'll start thinking about the meaningful or useful things you could've bought with that money. Although, it can make you realize to start spending less on gambling, I still never thought of calculating it. Because I think it will be heavy on your feelings, since you'll feel a lot of regret and guilt for spending that much amount on gambling alone.

The fact even though you're lose a lot money at that time, you're only regret with amount you lose, but it doesn't harm your mental and become an addict, so it's still safe. However as you have learn to not gamble a lot money, it's good because you can gamble without need to regret with your losses.

I haven't calculated my gambling losses, but even though it's big I don't really care as I already accept if before gamble.

Regrets aren't good but it will give you lessons especially on gambling. As you count those figures and you didn't ever had a good experience on it that will really hit some nerves of regrets and I think is not good for our mental health. Better let it go and just move on but take the lessons, it's really takes a long time before we realized this and that's normal, you'll never know that in the present because you'll never thought any regrets but just expectations that you might won over your bets.

To what ends?
I've never done this and I'm never going to do it. I'm not trying to build a career out of gambling. Besides, it will only make you feel bad. I get sad, or angry when I lose a bet, but that's about it, I get over it within the hour and move on because it was never guaranteed in the first place. I knew the risk.
There's no point thinking about what you could have used the money for because all the money you used for gamble didn't come to you at once and you didn't spend them all at once. So even if you had not gambled away the money, you would have still used it for something else.

Alternatively, don't count profit or losses. And practise budgeting like any responsible adult Wink

Set aside a fixed amount for a year of gambling (I would do it per season). Consider it money spent on entertainment, an upfront season ticket for months of enjoyment. When the funds run out, you're done until the next season. End of season and you have funds? You made unexpected money, treat yourself!

Personally, this was how I started out. I'm much more casual now and in addition to a "season" fund which starts/ends with European club football, I also have a monthly budget or so. If you can budget for entertainment, you can do it for gambling.

Need more money to buy a tricycle or house? Set a budget for that.

Stopping to count your losses may not be so bad even though it can get depressing. Counting your losses is different from chasing your losses. I will even advice you count your losses even more often than annually or twice in a year. If you count your losses often like every month, and know how much you have lost to gambling, you can call yourself back to discipline not to spend so much to gamble the next month if you are the type that gambles without a fixed amount of money set aside for gambling particularly.

Count your losses to keep track of it, but do not chase your losses after counting. If you try to chase losses, you will most likely end up loosing more.
