do you guys track your sessions or just play and hope for the best
Sometimes I’ll jot down my slot pulls or blackjack hands, mainly if I’m playing a bunch in one day, but honestly a lot of the time I just wing it and let the chips fall where they may. I always mean to keep a running log with wins and losses, but once I’m in the flow it slips my mind. Might be why I can’t shake the feeling I won more last year than I actually did. Is tracking worth it for smaller stakes or mostly for folks playing way bigger?
I've got a buddy who keeps a spreadsheet and swears by it, even enters every little loss on penny slots. Seems tedious but maybe that helps catch leaks. I do a rough count in my head, but it gets muddy especially after a long night and a few drinks. Do you really get a big edge by keeping close tabs, or is it more about knowing your habits than actually boosting profit? Curious if anyone’s noticed patterns in their own play from doing this or if it just ruins the fun. Anyone actually managed to stick to it for months?
tracking is like folding a marginal hand instead of chasing - unsexy but it saves you long term. i started logging every session after i thought i was “about even” but the numbers said i was leaking small bits everywhere, so the real edge is spotting those leaks before they snowball.
