Do you have a habit of tracking your gambling progress?
We are spending funds so anything that we spend funds on, we should track our progress. There's a saying that we should gamble with funds that we are comfortable with losing, but losing or winning, we should track if what we are losing is beyond the scope of what we are supposed to lose.
Its being responsible on what we spend, especially on gambling, where we have the possibility of adding more because of losing our control at the time of chasing our losses.
Yes it is true that involvement in gambling requires a gambler to spend some money, or I mean gambling is not done for free, it costs money, and for the matter of tracking gambling progress I think it is useful to know about how much money has been lost and not the progress in terms of winning, because anyway it makes little sense if you try to make progress that leads to winning in greater amounts or more often, and from the opinion you have conveyed I think we are on the same page in this matter where the idea of tracking progress in terms of risk management to minimize the possibility of too much loss.
