Then there is one indicator that you can use for measurement - deposit/withdrawal. Because it does not matter if you win 100 times, when you can withdraw less than deposited. But what is the point of tracking such info? And this indicator turns to be useless for people who deposit to have fun. They pay for fun and they dont care if there is anything left on the balance by the end of a day. As for me, when deposit = spend, as well as lose = spend, such tracking makes no use. I dont measure my gambling as profitable or not, I measure it with I had enough fun or not yet.

for gamblers who don't care about such tracking of course it will not affect the gambler. but if there are gamblers who care about such tracking, I'm sure there will still be more in their accounts that they deposited than they withdrew.
there may be regret when they see these results, gamblers will think they should hold onto their assets rather than risk them. and the results must have made them happy.
but gamblers definitely can't be like that. most of them bet and then forget everything. it is not very important to look at the history of how many assets they have deposited or how much they have withdrawn.

Can you give an example in which case this information or such kind of tracking can be useful? Or maybe share your own experience. I have a simple measurement system of my gambling. If the balance is larger than I have deposited, then it was a productive and lucky gambling session. If it is lower than deposit, then I consider that I had fun for that money. Pretty simple. But all other statistics, for example, in which slot or game I win or lose more, % ratio of success, size of bets and etc. This is less important for me. I would gamble in a game that I enjoy most, then in a game that I win more.
Its impossible that you cant really be able to make yourself that wary on how much already you have lost in gambling or simply you would really be noticing whether you are positive or already that negative.
It is really just that a matter of self awareness but well we do know that most of those gamblers would really be in denial or having simply that making themselves blind. Tracking about your gambling progress is something which is important and its impossible that you cant really be able to make yourself that wary about those things in regarding about gambling loses on which we know that this is really something that you could really be able to make yourself that self aware on whats going on. It would really be that some something crucial on knowing in regard about into your situation because self awareness about your finances would really be that
something most important matter that you do really need to watch out on the time that you do deal up with gambling.

Honestly, it was rather hard for me to understand your reply.

Personally I see no reason for myself to track how I spend money that I have deposited to casino. This is my budget, I want to use it and enjoy the process. I dont want to check, feel panic or shake everytime my balance decreases from original deposited amount. Imagine that a deposit is a bottle of water you have bought. After taking a sip (place a bet), do you check how much water is left all the time? Or just drink? We have different approaches to gambling. You probably want to win, I want to have fun. Be both are right and dont understand each other.
