"Another year has passed, and aside from getting a year older, it seems like nothing much has happened. Actually, there's something I'm quite curious about and want to ask everyone. Do you all summarize your wins and losses in the past year?
Because I have this peculiar friend who actually calculates the money he spent on gambling in the past year. He keeps track of what date he won or lost, how much was deposited or withdrawn each time, the associated fees, and any bonuses from promotions. When he showed us a ledger, both my friend and I were quite surprised.
As fellow gamblers, honestly, I don't even have a clear idea of how much I've won or lost. I just know that sometimes I win, and sometimes I lose. As for the total amount, I have no idea, and I don't want to calculate it; I'm afraid it would shock me.
Speaking of which, I think he does this due to his profession. He's an actuary, so it's his habit to calculate every transaction precisely.
Regardless, I don't pay much attention to it. Winning is the only thing that matters to me. Even if it's just for a day or a few days, the joy of winning is enough to forget all worries and losses. Keeping records only emphasizes wins and losses, and in the mindset of 'win some, lose some,' it disrupts balance, making one too focused on the outcomes. I usually don't dwell on winning or losing.
Each person has their destiny, and in gambling, luck plays its own role." |
