Why it is important to analyze behavior after the game
Introduction: Game Ends - Work Begins
Most players evaluate only the outcome of the session: "in the plus" or "in the minus." But it is the post-session analysis that shows why the result arose: from emotional outbursts and limit violations to erroneous assumptions about variance. Post-game behavior analysis translates experience into knowledge, builds sustainable habits, and prevents risk escalation. It is a key instrument for responsible play and long-term stability.
1) What exactly needs to be analyzed
a) Emotions and condition:- Before the game: stress level, fatigue, external factors.
- During: moments of excitement/exasperation, "chasing a loss," FOMO.
- After: regret, pride, desire to "take revenge" on slots/bets.
- Change in rates for no reason, impulse purchases, refusal of predetermined limits.
- Deviations from the plan: why and at what point?
- Ignoring statistics (RTP, volatility, bonus probability) for the sake of "flair."
- Share of the session from the total bank, real risk management.
- Compliance with stop loss and teik profit.
- Frequency of "rebays," overspending and hidden expenses (commissions, currency exchange).
- EV session score: How the outcome fits the math, not the emotion.
- Role of variance: Is a series of failures a volatility pattern or a strategy error?
2) Five-step post-session parsing framework (PASTE)
1. P - Pause: 10-15 minutes of "cooling" without new solutions.
2. A - Ask: What did I do differently than I planned? For what reason?
3. S - Scan: Walk through the checklist of triggers and violations.
4. T - Tag: Tag key episodes: "chase," "overbet," "fatigue."
5. E - Extract: Record 1-3 rules/changes for the future.
3) Checklist of "red flags"
He played longer than planned due to a series of almost wins.
Increased the bet after losing for a "return."
Missed lunch/sleep, played tired.
Removed or raised limits "on the go."
Changed slot/type of bet under the influence of emotions.
Ignored pre-selected volatility for a hot feeling.
He hid the losses, "creatively" considered the result (excluding bonus money, cashback, commissions).
4) Mini metrics and how to count them
Adherence Rate (AR) - Plan Compliance:- AR = (number of plan decisions/total number of key decisions) × 100%.
- Consider each deviation without justification. The goal is a downward trend.
- CI = number of bet increases immediately after a losing streak.
- LI =% of sessions where stop loss/break profit is met.
- 1 point for the fulfillment of each of the points: pause, checklist, record of conclusions, lack of "chase," observance of time. The result is 0-5.
5) How to tell the difference between a variance lesson and a strategy error
Variance: the plan is followed, the metrics are stable, the solutions are logical, but the result is negative. Conclusion: we keep the strategy, adjust expectations/limits.
Strategy error: repeated "leaks" - overspending of the bank, violation of limits, growth of CI and ID. Conclusion: we change the rules, reduce rates, revise the choice of games/markets.
6) Trigger and Countertact Map
Fatigue/hunger → short session, timer 30-45 min, pre-planned break.
"Almost won" → autopause for 5 minutes, moving to a slot with less volatility.
The desire to "get back" → the rule of 24 hours without playing after a stop loss.
Social pressure/streams → play offline, hide notifications, fix plan before launch.
Euphoria from winning → mandatory profit and exit, prohibition of increasing bets in the current session.
7) Post-session recording template (copy as is)
Date/Time/Duration- Bankroll (before/after)
- Games/Markets & Betting
- Purpose of the session: (test slot/strategy, entertainment, bonus hunting)
- Plan/limits: stop loss, break profit, time
- Deviations from the plan: (what and why)
- Emotions (0-10): before/during/after
- Red flags: (from checklist)
- Metrics: AR, ID, CI, LI, SQS
- Key episodes: (timecode/spin/bet → comment)
1. …
2. …
3. …
8) Turning conclusions into rules
If I have broken a stop loss → then the next session is not available until 24 hours later.
If there are ≥2 impulse decisions → then I reduce the bet by 30% for the next 3 sessions.
If SQS ≤2 → then I play only demo/micro bets before SQS ≥4.
If the "chase" is repeated → then I temporarily switch to low-volatility games.
9) Working with bonuses and "hidden" factors
Consider wagering, betting restrictions, timing - this affects real EV.
Count fees, currency conversion, cashback - they distort the actual result.
Separate the "gambling" and "research" sessions: in the first - rest and limits, in the second - tests and records.
10) Prevention of addiction through analysis
Systemic fixation of emotions and decisions helps to notice in time:- increasing frequency of sessions, obsessive desire to recoup, hiding spending and debts, conflict with work, study, family.
- If several signs appear in a row, reduce the intensity, take a break and, if necessary, seek professional help.
Post-session analysis is the "black box" of your gaming practice. It turns randomness into knowledge and knowledge into rules. Fill out a short form after each session, track metrics weekly and update personal rules once a month. So you keep the excitement, and leave control behind.
