Never thought I'd become the guy with a spreadsheet but here we are and honestly it's the single best decision I made in three years of doing this. Started logging everything in January, date, selection, odds, stake, result, emotional state before the session rated 1 to 10, and platform used. Six months later the numbers told a story I couldn't argue with and some of it was genuinely uncomfortable to look at.

Sessions where my emotional state was below 6 out of 10 had a loss rate of 71% compared to 34% on neutral or positive days. Bets placed within 90 minutes of a bad work day lost at nearly double the rate of weekend afternoon sessions. My ROI on cricket markets specifically was plus 18% over the period while football sat at minus 7%, meaning I was essentially funding my cricket profits with football stupidity. Volume was the other killer, weeks where I placed more than 15 bets I lost money every single time without exception. Weeks capped at 8 selections or fewer I finished positive 73% of the time.

Platform switch made a measurable difference too. Moved everything to official 1win Pakistan https://1win.biz.pk/ about four months into the tracking period and average odds on the same cricket markets improved by roughly 5% compared to what I was getting before. Over 6 months that compounded into a difference I could actually see in the withdrawal numbers. Processing times averaged around 3 to 4 hours consistently, never had a cashout sit longer than 6 hours which for Pakistan is genuinely faster than anything else I tested. Deposit limits enforced properly so the rules I set at the start of the month actually held during tilt sessions when I would have absolutely overridden them on a platform that allowed it. Data doesn't lie and mine said switch, so I did.
