Do you keep a record of winnings and losses in gambling? Many here will feel that this is waste of time and will also not let them enjoy the game peacefully. Do you also have same mentality?

It has not come to my mind before to keep the record and I do not have it in mind to start keeping it.

Not that I will not enjoy gambling if I am tracking it, but I have a gambling budget, which makes it a waste of time. Gambling budget is not also time demanding while calculating it.

I enjoy playing computer games and I don't remember how many times I have played the game this year. I also see gambling as a form of entertainment so I don't need to keep records because it's just fun to me. It can be argued since we use money to place bets, it is important to keep records, but the funds I use are an insignificant part of my expenses. I just see it as a waste of time and energy to sit down and start calculating my bets and returns for the month or year. It might be necessary for people that gamble heavily for them to be able to control their gambling activities. It could also bring sadness, especially for people who have lost uncontrollably. Sometimes it is better to let the past walk away.

Sometimes I usually have that thought of keeping records for every dollar I spend on gambling so that I can know how much I am winning and how much I am losing too, but I still concluded that doing that and archiving the data I want would do me no good, so I just let go of the thought. I kind of imagine that I gamble not to make money but to have fun, although the winnings are never neglected. But it's never a priority that I must win because I know fully well that I don't run the game, so even putting in some money into gambling, I don't conceive any thought of certainty that I will win the game. I know it's already going to end in two ways, either loss or win, so what's the essence of keeping records?

Sometimes, it's always said that before a gambler becomes lucky and wins a big amount, they might also lose a great amount that is above what they won. That's the only reason that would have made me consider keeping records of money spent on gambling so that I can confirm that it's possible for a gambler to lose a great deal of money even before they get lucky enough to win a huge amount too.

For example, just yesterday, my fiancee was telling me that a colleague of her who's at her work place won about $3,850 on a spot game. According to the gambler, that was the first time he had ever won such a high amount in gambling. So, if I had had a gambling record of that guy, I would have really wanted to compare the amount he has lost in gambling right from when he started gambling and how much he has won.

For myself, I wouldn't want to keep track of how much I lose from gambling, the reason being that keeping those records would not yield anything good.

I used to be one of those gamblers who'd write down all my gambling wins and losses, thinking it'd help me make smarter bets.  But I realized it kinda took the fun out of everything.  I was so focused on the stats that I wasn't really enjoying myself and  these days when I gamble, I just try to relax and have a good time instead of stressing over every little win or loss. I feel like its better for me that way. Gambling should be about having fun, with the possibility of winning occasionally, but you shuldn't devote your life to it and try to make it your primary source of income. That's a wrong way of thinking, imho.

How about you - do you keep close track of your gambling results? Or are you more a seat-of-the-pants player who goes with the flow?

You're right; discussions about keeping records in gambling do come up from time to time. I feel like we get at least a couple threads on it throughout the year. It's always a good practice to take a quick look through old posts first before starting a new conversation about something that's been covered already.

In times of gambling keeping records of your gambling statistics is totally depends on individual desire why they feel the need to keep the records of the money they spent while gambling maybe perhaps there reasons could be that keeping their gambling statistics will serve as a reminder of the money they have been spending on gambling.

But for me I feel there is no need for me to keep those records of gambling because it could affect my mindset of gambling, because calculating the total money I have spent on gambling there is every possibility of me feeling bad or regretting not to have even gambled, so is better we just keep gambling instead of keeping records but however anyone who feel there is need to keep gambling records he should go ahead but for I feel it will affect me emotionally if seeing the total money I have lost on gambling.

The company I register with have a nice record of this and that is more than enough. Through their platform,  you can see your gambling records on daily, weekly and even monthly  basis. There is also the flexibility of choosing a period and the records will be displayed, showing individual bets played, total won and total amount lost for the period chosen.

I keep my gambling confidential even though few people that need to know about it as already aware. So I do not need to keep physical records anywhere since I have it handy at my personal online profile. Writing it down actually has its own benefit but that is not enough conviction for me to start it as the time spent on it can be used for something else.

A similar thread like this was created recently, it won’t be a bad idea if you can lock this thread and visit the thread that I just posted below to check forum members opinions Not keeping records makes me a bad gambler? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5469835.0). But to me, it’s not really necessary to keep on having gambling records. I don’t even know how you will keep on documenting your wins and losses, I see it as a complete waste of time. So at the end of every day that I gamble, you expect me to document my win and loss, it’s not really making sense to me, and if your win and loss are documented, it won’t help you win your next bet.

No, doesn't make sense for a gambler to record of the winnings and losses. It's not that it's a waste of time, it's not it will not bring anything to the gambler. What benefits? you will cry over your loses? Or see how much you win at that time period and the next week you lose everything? And if you are playing online, there is a record already, you can go back and see it. But for me, I also don't practice that.

So just enjoy your gambling activity whether online or offline, and just play the money that you can afford to lose and everything will be good on your end. And probably this is one area that we really don't need any data to see if we are doing good or not.

Why you keep the record ?

Just move on, especially on loses. Did you know, If you keep the record on losses make you chase a lost. Imagine, you are winning on these weeks section and due you are still think about your losess on 2 weeks ago.

You keep playing, and makes you from win to lose again.

I think there is already a similar thread like this. However, I will still answer that I am the person who records the wins and losses of my gambling activities. Maybe for some people this is very inconvenient because they have to record it in excel or their notepad, but I personally think that it is not a hassle at all because by recording my wins and losses I can see how my performance is.
And not only do I record wins/losses, I also record expenses for each game I play and at the end of the month I sort it in Excel to see how much I earned and spent on my gambling.

Of course.

For traditional casino games, some casinos have excellent support for that, you can see this data by game, so I quickly remember bc.game gives you interesting information about your results.

In poker it is a rule yes or yes, you must do it not only of profits or losses of everything, there are special programs like HM.

So many people say this, there's a similar thread that talks about keeping track of wins and losses.

I would like to ask if you keep a record of all your gambling? What percentage is better? This is difficult for us to answer because most of them don't record it, gambling is just for fun and if you record the profit, it will obviously be more stressful because you will know the value of the amount bet.

I don't keep any record of winning or losses in gambling because, it will not allow me to concentrate very well than to be using those record to gamble and it will lead gambler to some situation that will make the gambler to regret of gambling. Keeping record of winning will not allow you to enjoy peaceful gambling because, there is no way you will gamble through out the year and you will not experience losses but you don't need to jute down the record than to move on with your present prediction to see what future hold for you.

  If you used to keep the record of your gambling winning or losses, it will not help you to come up with new strategies that will make you feel good in your gambling.

Why do I feel like this topic has turned to matrix. I keep seeing it, I have seen something similar like this yesterday and now here we are again, seems like there are many losses among gamblers recently.

I will chip in my suggestion and u hope it helps. When I go to my bet history, I delete my loss bets as soon as they are loss, it keeps me going in rejuvenating hope in new bets that is currently going or that I newly stake, there is nothing good in staring at an already loss bets over and over, what is gone is gone and it Wil be deleted asap.

However, I do take not of deposit and withdrawals, that is something I know I can't temper with, it can't be deleted and since is not a place I frequently check, I don't have problem with viewing it except when I want to check how much I deposited and how much I withdrew at the end of 30 days. That way, u will know if I have been productive in gambling on just fooling around with my money while making fun.

Have this been asked before?
But to answer; yes especially since this year. I am guilty of not soing so especially before when I was just starting in this industry. I just tend to gamble and deposit money ‘til I have nothing left with me but when I realized the importance of tracking the numbers, it helped me to become a more efficient gambler. Losing will be always there but at least in such way, I am no longer losing an amount outside my financial tolerance; acceptance of losing at the end of the day is important to limit oneself from frustration and pushing myself to take what I have lost from the games I played. If I won’t be able to control the outcome then I should atleast protect myself before I start playing.

Yes. I think this is the thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5469835.0

I have no record of my wins and losses but if I really want to put them on the spreadsheet, I can since all the records are just in the history of my activity in the casino.
I just don't look into the records and regret all the losses lol besides putting them on the spreadsheet seems hard work and keeping a record is an evidence so its a not gonna be good.

In everything that we do in life that requires us to invest our time and finances in them, we need to always keep a proper record of them, as it might be needed some days for some unforeseen reasons.
 
As a good gambler, it's important to always keep track of the amount you have spent in gambling over the week to see if you are still gambling within your budget range and not spending above what you have planned for. A proper record-keeping system can help you track that without stress.
 
And again, keeping records also helps one discover if they have made any form of heavy winning from gambling over the time that they have been playing, and if possible, they can calculate all that they have spent in gambling, deduct any amount that they have won from it, and see if they are really wasting their time on it or not.

If they are playing to make money out of it and not for fun, such a record can make one realise it is high time to call it a stop or still continue depending on the outcome of the record.

I don't and personally, I don't see the point of doing it myself, I mean, I have a rule that I save an "x" amount of money to use for my gambling sessions, my main goal is to enjoy gambling and winning is a bonus. that being said, while I don't see the point of recording my wins and losses, I still understand why others record theirs, it could be that they could monitor how much they gamble, how much they have won, how much they have lost, etc... and there is nothing wrong if someone wants to record their gambling activity and people who make fun of them are just a**holes.

I have tried to do this several times but it have been unsuccessful because I end up missing some records out. I just forget to write them down.

Is there a reason to write down your wins and losses if the reason you are  gambling is just to have fun?One of the threads today adviceed gamblers to treat the casino like the cinema. You go there to have fun. If I have this mentality, keeping record will.be useless.

Have seen a lot of this type of post can we not talk about something new that's entirely different from this discussion about keeping and not keeping gambling records. No offense to the op but am just expressing my concerns.

of course it's a waste of time doing that. I don't see myself spending time to note down each loss or even winnings I make. Am I giving myself a financial audit at the end of my gambling year that I should be keeping records about them losses and wins?  Enjoy the fun and leave the records to the gambling house  ;D

Not really that totally have no sense in regarding into this topic on which it  could really still be able to generate that kind of discussion in correlation with such topic which i do see its relevance.
When it comes to tracking your winnings or losses then we do know that each platform does have their own stats which it would really be showing whether you are in profit or in losses on which means that you wont really be needing for yourself to be that manually be listing out those numbers in a piece of paper or would really be tallying out with the use of your PC or something like that.
Somewhat we cant really be able to conclude out that it is pointless yet there are really people who are really that making those kind of steps just to make monitoring of their gambling activity.
Dont know on why they do end up on such option but as long it do works for them then this what matter the most.

Keeping a record wont really be that a bad thing as long it would really be something relevant on your part then this what really matters. We do have our own approach on things on how
we do handle things up because on the time that you would really be that become impulsive then you might lost off track in regarding with your spending
on which this is really that something we are tending to avoid in the first place.

Depending on wat devices you use to place your bet. Most persons use their betting site they belong to place their bet. And this betting site has the history of all the number of wins and losses so far. So, there is no point for me to start keeping note of my winning and losses when that site is there for me. Yes, most time I do go to check if I have more wins than my loss to know if I should continue betting and sometimes, I find out that am still winning. Record keeping is good, but it doesn't count much in betting. Once you check your history and see you can't continue again with the number of losses so far then its best you stop and plan well so that you won't finish all the money you have deposited in your betting account.

I let my gambling site do that for me. Most of them have this thing called "accounting portal" anyway where they will tally all your bets and how they went. From wins, to losses. The same could be said for when I bet in sports, I only ever work with sportsbet sites that offer this. Cause collecting wins and losses data is actually important to my gambling strategy (win 3 go home, lose 3 go home as well), so I always have to check if I have reached my threshold already. Plus I don't gamble as often as I did in the past anymore, so it's slowly becoming less of a big deal to me but I still go for it regardless cause why not? It's always better to come prepared than be empty-handed when you actually need it.

Since I don't gamble for profit and gambling is not a business, I don't keep record on the funds I use to bet and how much that I have won. I already have the amount that I set aside every week that I so gamble with and that calculation is enough for me to use to know how much I spend on gambling weekly.

Taking record will be a waste of time as I see it as irrelevant and not necessary. Gambling should be done for fun and one should only gamble with the amount that he can afford to lose, with this principle, there will be no need to record keeping, because it is just like someone that gives his son money to buy candy everyday.

Yeah, that's the purpose why they have records of history of our bets in there. That's technology and that's making our lives easier thanks to that feature of theirs and we can save time from doing so. I don't keep track of my gambling anymore whichever the result is. I mostly remember the wins that I get but I forget the amount that I am losing and I think that is a normal reaction for everyone whenever we're up to gamble.

Why so? Is it easier to record it whenever you are at your desktop or laptop or not with your phone? Regardless of that, it's easy to record with the use of any device and I think some people do have their own paper copy and writes it off on their papers for the sake of recording it. Just like the people that have been meticulous with their records, that's how important it is to them but for us that don't record it, that's okay, we keep records history on the casinos we're doing it. So whichever you're comfortable with and what you think is right for you for your own references, you can keep it.

Keeping most of this records might just annoy you losing money is annoying but if its a win the person will definitely use the history of wins to brag, but sharing your lose will just worsen the whole situation and make you look irresponsible, but once the record are only kept in your gambling history on their site it won't really bother you that much since only the player has access to it. To reduce the shameful lost. And in addition to what you said the data is useful help in term of strategies and also be help to the company since they will be able to present the number of people winning and losing annually.

The interesting part of it all is that history will be on there data base and you can have access to it any time any day, and always show people if you want to show maybe has a reference to people.

I think it's actually advisable to keep record of whatever you do... In a case of gambling addiction, it may help to curb the frequency in wagering and reduce staking power... Cus you wouldn't wanna continue wagering heavily like before when you're able to sum up your total stakes per month...lol
Secondly, keeping records may also contradict the said point above in a bad way - it all depends on which on is being kept... Some good gambling records may end up giving fake hopes.

Yes before when its my First Month in the gambling but after realizing that I’m too focused with the money, I decided to stop it and the rest is history. If you really want to know how much money you’ve already loss in gambling then do this, and be ready for disappointment because for sure, you lose more than what you actually make.

I don't need to keep records of my wins and losses because I can find them easily on the casino sites I use to gamble. So I don't need to do it or make records offline. This can make me trigger the desire to recover the losses I previously incurred. Instead of enjoying gambling as entertainment, I can go back to trying to recover the losses I experienced, which means the possibility of me losing will be even greater. And I don't want that to happen, especially since I'm trying to reduce the losses I previously lost.

I don't. I did take note of big losses in the past when I was starting out. See gambling for me, just like for any other, started out as something of a way to get a quick buck. This was why I was so scared of betting high amounts and instead went for higher odds instead. Naturally that made me go into a big loss streak most of the time so I tended to bet big every once in a while, which I took note of.

Gradually I became numb to it and started realizing what kind of dumb mindset I had with gambling, so I just started enjoying it instead of minding the possible profits. Ofc my goal is still to win, but if I lose, then it is what it is. I see no need to get stuck up with it.

The best decision I would advise one to do is totally subtracting anyone in the space.  There's basically this thing that ought to be corrected within gamblers. They always come across one or two records that brings back sad and terrible memories which would have been left unsaid. It's fundamentally of no use to me because I clearly see no reason why we should be keeping records of our winning and losses, it will only bring back old memories which might persuaded one to take drastic decision for the purpose to bounce back to the system.

I engaged in a similar topic not long ago here on this board. If I can recall correctly, I'm in support of someone always trying to keep a good record of their gambling behaviour, no matter the amount used to amble. A pproper documentation for it should be taken note of, although a lot of people have different opinions, and this is just a little part of my own personal opinion.
 
If I'm to have a budget of my expenses and gambling is not excluded from those expenses that I make provision for, why then will I not also make it necessary to give an account of how the allocated gambling funds were used, in order to know how well and how much should be allocated next time, or if the allowance should be reduced or cut off due to it not being fruitful? I can also, from such a record, examine and know if I was truly gambling for fun or if I was just chasing big odds and wagering a large amount in order to get large returns?

It’s better to keep the record of your loss and win in the notepad or he can note down in the dairy.Some people will think this as the waste of time,but the fact is this will save your time in gambling.Mostly the gambling sites follow the certain type of pattern,if you find the pattern by recording of complete game in your note pad.This surely help the gambler for big win one day.The gambler should wait for his time of winning,anything can be happened in the gambling.Either you made the big win in the gambling or big loss based on your luck in the gambling.You should create your own strategy for the gambling to make good win.

I used to do it, but not anymore because I sometimes forget to track a couple of bets until they stack up to a hundred. It was helpful at the start so I could keep myself under control after a few losses and then I got a bit lazy as my betting went on through the year.

If you lose your bankroll too quickly and gamble again the next day, it might feel like a chore and even a waste of time because gamblers don't always look back at the mistakes they've made from their previous bets.

That is really a cool feature in my opinion. Can you disclose the name of the company?

There is no reason why I need to keep records when all the money I spent or lose in gambling are the amount that I literally willing to risk and lose?
though this is good for our monthly accounting I think we must understand that gambling money must be our excess only.
meaning that only the amount that we don't really need for daily living , because if you are deducting funds from your daily need just to try your luck in gambling to double or multiplied then you are doing it wrong.
because the moment you lose, then you will keep seeking to win back and that will be the beginning of chasing losses that ending many gamblers turns addicted.
just try enjoying the game mate and try not to spend more in each gaming so you won't feel bad when done.
also another thing that I have seen other threads that has this same  meaning , maybe its time to just check other threads and continue the discussion there.

maybe people will have different opinions on this, however, i'm not someone who records my wins and losses because i think it's not important and reduces the fun of playing. i just play and let luck determine how it turns out and that's much more fun than writing it all down and just adding to the burden on my mind.

I store them on a temporary basis. As if I make huge losses, then I have to also cover up or recover the funds also right. This helps me to manage my funds more efficiently. In this manner I am also able to do the proper risk management of the funds. I don’t store it for long time, on a weekly basis I do this and then try to avoid many losses. Many big gamblers didn’t do this, but for hardworking people like me, we are bound to keep track of each and everything.

Records? They seem essential to me. How else would you evaluate your gambling behavior, decisions, and results? I dont consider it time wasted. Holding oneself accountable is what it is. Is game enjoyment more important than ignorance's risks? The solution is obvious to me.

Enjoyment and duty should coexist. Gambling is thrilling and unpredictable, but isnt it also about strategy, comprehension, and judgment? Those who dont keep records may miss game depth analysis. Why ignore such a crucial game element? Why not accept gambling's many layers?

Waste of time? That's not how I see this, keeping record can trigger you emotions, it's two ways, either it makes you feel like you are wasting your money or it enraged you into thinking that you are not doing enough.

Mostly I believe it will make you feel like you are wasting money, because a little drop of water makes a mighty ocean, even if you are using small amount to gamble, time will fly by and when you look back its possible you won't like what you will see.

I don't feel like keeping record because it can hinder the way I feel when gambling, if you want to quit gambling all you need is keep your record, you will understand how thinly the chances of winning is in gambling, so don't keep records, just stick to a certain amount and keep taking risks, you don't even have to gamble everyday, only do it when you have the money.

This is also the reason why I don't keep those records since its like we are just giving an unwanted stress for ourselves for always checking that. Also there's nothing important for checking that since it will just disappoint us and worse this could possibly destroy our focus. If we are gambling for fun then be it just better ignore those unwanted stats then focus on what you are doing since after all of this for sure you will get satisfied with the money we use for playing. Some people maybe keeping some records to check if they really earn for what they are doing and for sure if they calculate then see that there losses is more dominant than their winnings then they might quiet because they might find it no fun for wasting their money on any casino.

I am like you, I don't record my gambling wins/losses as well. I guess that's important for people who take gambling seriously, and I am not that guy. I play for fun and relaxation when I have moneis to afford that, since I mostly play lucky-based games I can say that I also rely on luck to determine the outcome... And you are probably more than right when you say that writing all down would be a burden, I feel the same here... maybe because we lost more than we won! :)

Even though you take up gambling seriously, there is no need to record how much money you lose or win. Although if you are playing online, you can check the history of your bet and see how it goes for you. But if you are going in and play in traditional based, you can't. But I do believed that everyone here knows at least the ball park number that they have lost at least for this year.

But to totally record it? nah, I don't think that gamblers will go that far. And it will not served any purposed for them and even not going to help them quit gambling for good even if they see how much money the already lost though. On the contrary, it might be bad as you might want to chase and recover what you have lost already. And in turn, you can incurred more loses in your book.

Isn't gambling also a waste of time? And if gambling was not my favorite, not my pleasure and not my hobby then I would never be in gambling. because by gambling I will not only lose time, but I could also lose money because of gambling. But to hell with all this because I really need gambling as a means of happiness after a full day in the corporate world which is so boring and a little annoying.

I really need to do recording or bookkeeping in gambling to find out the losses I have experienced so that it can be easier for me to apply limits in gambling because after all, to be able to gamble we have to involve money in it, or have a certain amount of money deposited to be able to get pleasure from it. gambling. And in my opinion, doing this does not in any way affect the reduction of excitement or sensation in gambling. Even though this is a bit of a waste of time, by doing this our gambling will become more organized and more careful in gambling so that we can be wiser in gambling and can be responsible for this activity. As long as this can make me better, why not do it.

It could be that it will make him feel like he has lost a lot of money, and there is a desire to gamble more often to return or recover the money lost. And if that happens, he only increases the number of losses to be greater, but he will not be able to recover all his losses unless he can get a very big win. But that wouldn't be possible if he didn't have great luck, which would be very rare. For some gamblers, having a record of wins and losses can provide a warning of how far we have gambled and what we should do so that if we experience a lot of losses, we know what we should do.

Nope, I don't see any reason to keep a record of it.

I only set how much money I can gamble for every week or month, regardless the outcome is win or lose, I don't keep a record.

Gambling is more or less like a donation, I don't care with any money that I use for gambling since it's not harm my daily life. Having a record of winnings and losses would make you have an intention to chase your losses.

Never, in fact I never remember how many losses and wins I have made, as long as I am involved in the world of gambling, let alone note it down, just never remind me.

I gamble when I have the will and desire, I gamble when I want and have the opportunity, I gamble not yet at a high level of addiction, so there is no record for me in terms of losses and wins, I think that gambling is not a business that requires real physical bookkeeping of expenses and income, losing means it's bad luck for me, winning means it's good luck for me, that's what is recorded in my mind.

The only record I have is the one from the bet history, I feel like the recording of your wins and losses seems kind of weird to me because you're supposed to be having fun and keeping records seems kind of a serious business and I think takes out the fun in gambling. Also, what's the fun in that knowing that you're losing or winning?

That's true because is of no use to us keeping our gambling records, perhaps there are something that's better of staying the way it is because in most cases we could actually hurts our feelings while trying to get information about something.

In as much as we can be inquisitive to no the actual amounts we have spent on gambling we should also be ready to face the emotional trauma because if they should called the total amount most persons spent on gambling they will be shocked because they never believed to have spent such amount of money in gambling.

Actually, it is difficult to record all bets unless you look at the betting history of the casino, if you want more details then also look at the deposits and withdrawals from the casino there are clearly visible rather than recording with other tools.
Not fun, but once you see all the notes made by yourself it can be stressful because you have seen a large amount so it's better to ignore it and practice gambling for fun by burning money there.

I personally don't keep a record of wins and losses and I feel there's no point.
We eventually end up losing more than we win and seeing how much we have lost will only make our mood spoiled.
So we can either decide to not keep a track record and enjoy our games or keep a track record and spoil our mood by seeing the losses.

You always have your betting history to look but manually through a spreadsheet, I don't do that I'm not a high roller for me to keep a record on how I bet and what I bet since my preference is luck-based games like Dice, crash, and slots I don't have to record it.
Those who keep a record in spreadsheets are high rollers or doing massive bets so they can analyze their bets, some even go to the extent of keeping the hours of their bets so they will know the best hours to bet.
But if you are here for mere fun, keeping a record is useless, it takes away the fun, just play have fun log out, and move on.

There was a time when I kept records to track my wins and losses in order to be aware of my limits when gambling. It's not a waste of time because it helps you monitor your losses and gains. Just because you didn't track your gains and losses doesn't mean you felt at peacefully. However, for me, keeping track of my gambling records brings me peacefully.

Many consider gambling to be only a source of pleasure, for whom it is not important to keep track of wins and losses. It might be somewhat helpful for those who want to keep an account of gambling expenses and income, but I don't think it's necessary. Because no statistics are useful if I don't win in gambling. But it can be of some benefit for its own limitations in gambling. Personally I never save any of my winnings and losses after gambling. I think it's a waste of time to worry about those things as soon as my bet is over.

You're last statement proved my point, that it is stressful to find out how much you've spent or lost in your bettings or your gambling sprees, that's why I was asking what's the point of doing it when you know that it's not fun to do it. I suddenly remembered that phrase where the more you fuck around then the more you're going to find out which is definitely not fun especially if you're not ready to see how much is the total of your money you've lost compared to the total money you've won.

I used to do that when I was betting a lot and spending hours on gambling I was checking my playing trend to see if there was a chance that I could hit a winning run and how I could effectively use popular methods like martingale, but after a few weeks and a few pages I just realized the uselessness of monitoring your bet and the method you employ, every day there is a different scenario you cannot establish a method so you continuous win, there's a long winning run but there's more losing run that your bankroll can not keep up.

It's up to you, you to keep a record of your winnings and losses but keeping a record so you can establish a winning method or create an exploit is not possible, so it is better to just play for fun and save time and effort in keeping a record which only yields nothing.

Why should I record wins and losses because that's too much hahaha... and again you can see your gambling history at the casino, I think your casino also has that feature for gamblers.

And again, when we record wins and losses, it will surprise us if you are an active gambler, a lot of money revolves around your gambling and exceeds your capacity when accumulated. I don't want to have feelings like that which could make my mentality become bad in gambling, and think instead of looking for profits or chasing losses, I think let everything be biased and just focus on looking for fun with the principles of responsible gambling.

I dont.

But I am also sure that the majority of the people who are gambling everyday also do not. Because having to calculate cumulative losses which is obviously greater than the cumulative profit is a excruciatingly painful process even such that the person might just stop in the middle and not come back to doing it.

Players who are in EV+ games regularly do this though, they are less impulsive and more calculating. Still then they lose because the luck factor also works there.

So far I have not recorded any wins or losses in all the times I have participated in gambling. It is better for a gambler to keep a record of wins and losses. Keeping a record of these wins and losses is never a waste of time but it gives a person the right solutions to move in the right direction. If I just keep participating and losing without keeping track of wins and losses, then at some point my career will be completely destroyed. So here if I keep a record of every win and loss of my bet then I can avoid getting addicted to this gambling platform. I will get rid of spending extra money on gambling. Although people see various problems in recording wins and losses, I do not see any problems here, rather I see benefits. I promised myself that every time I bet, I would record in my notebook every time I bet so that it would be much easier to bet and keep track of my funds.

No, I don't keep a record of that. I don't think it's a waste of time but it's just that I don't find it necessary for me to do that since I don't gamble on a regular basis and only just use a small amount for it. It shouldn't really be a time-consuming process, to be honest because a person shouldn't just write or note down every single win and loss in a gambling session, but instead, they should note down the initial bankroll, and then the final bankroll once they are done gambling for that session, and then they should note the amount that they've either won or lost in that session.

I think only a very small percentage of gamblers actually do that, most gamblers don't really care about keeping records because they feel that they already know how much they have deposited and how much they have or have withdrawn, so they don't really need to note everything down one by one.

I agree, making like some excel sheet about how much you won or lost that day and keep checking that forever is not really a smart idea if you ask me. Maybe that's just me and I end up losing most of the time and I do not follow it up so I do not need to know how I do. I think the best thing to do is to keep having fun and as long as you are having fun then you should be fine.

The idea is that if you lose way more than you should then that's not fun anymore, so that means if you are having fun then you are not losing more than you should and that's the point of it. I hope people could see that soon enough and not end up gambling way more than they should. This could result with some situation where things are going to be a little different.

Nah, I never noted any of my wins or losses. I think it's a complete waste of time. I used to gamble a lot, but not anymore. Actually, I did think of making a note sometimes. If you were a successful gambler, you might have thought of showing your gambling achievements to others. Don't you think? Another reason is to keep track of your money. How much I have, how much I have lost. You know? so that he doesn't gamble beyond his limits. To determine his limits. I can only think of these two reasons to keep a record. Anyway, if you want to keep track, you can. It's your personal affair, who am I to question?

Totally a waste of time if you are really just that able to see those stats itself into your account.If you do love on hassling yourself and spending up some time on writing those stats then go ahead
but its true that its not really that something recommendable on  doing so unless if you do really love to track your spending like those deposits until on withdrawal then its up to someones choice.
If you are really just that putting up some limits on your gambling spending then its impossible that you wont really be able to take notice if you are already crossing the borderline.

The only important thing on here is that you should really be always spending up on the money on which you can afford to lose and never ever chase up your losses and you should
really know on when to stop and call it a day.You wont really be that making yourself that becoming impulsive because if you do then pretty sure you would really
be messing up with your gambling engagement.

Yes, I will honestly say that I have the same mentality. I don't like jotting down things just so I can find out how much money is already gone. I just want to add some flavor to the games that I will watch and that is why I am betting. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. The actual mistake that I might make if I record everything is chasing losses if I see I have not gained anything from my spreadsheet total losses and winnings and then I will try to get my revenge for money back.
I'd rather bet peacefully, enjoy the game, cheer for my preferred team, and when it's a loss just let it go, if it wins then it's a good thing, more beers coming up. I like making it simple, it's betting not a job for me to make a special spreadsheet with formulas just so I could ruin my good day after finding out how much was gone.

I don't see it's necessary to keep records knowing there's always more possibility to lose in gambling than to actually make decent profits. So just accept the fact that we can't beat the house and we'll just gamble simply to enjoy the games and make a lot of fun. That way, no matter how often you lose, it does not matter at all as long as you're enjoying playing with the casino games.

However, it's still necessary that even if you gamble for fun, always set an amount that you are comfortable to lose. The more your expenses are manageable, the bigger the chances that you will have a lot of fun without being bothered if you still have money left in your pocket or you end up betting them all.

Many gamblers do the mistake of not record the game while playing,this will be act as the live reference for all your future games.When the real money was used in the gambling,the gambler should play the game with more care as compared to the game which doesn’t involve any money.Some gambler think,he will chase the gambling loss by recording the omelette loss.But it was in your hand,you can control the targeting of the loss in the gambling.The recording of the game was mostly useful to build the various strategy for the game.This spreadsheet also mange your number of winning and losing games.

This will not be a problem for someone gambling with only one casino online to trace because your won and lost tickets will be available on the website. The offline players is where the major problem starts. We have been talking about addiction and how to stop it, one might not likely know that they are addicted if they do not keep the losses and profits made.
When you lose to much compared to what you have won, you really need to take a break and re examine yourself before proceeding.

May of us only keep the record of the wins. Not that they keep accurate data, just that they will remember easily and also the wins are small compared to the losses.

So of what benefits will it be keeping the record of both winning and losses of the games I have played while gambling? What benefits..  Or will by doing so bring back my loses? (i.e all money lost?) Because when it comes to be me, inasmuch as I know that by doing so I will not be going anything from it, I will not do any of such thing, because on the contrary, if anyone wants to see how much I have lost to gambling or won, my betting history is enough to display all of such information, far more better than stressing myself.

I have started this a number of times in the past and ended up failing to keep it updated every time. Just months ago, I have once again began to do this. It's a lot easier now that I'm gambling not that much anymore. Aside from small sports bets online every now and then and going to cockfights once in a while, there's nothing more. I no longer play casino games even. No more dice and slots and roulettes and even blackjack for me.

I usually lose more money than I win, so I have a lot of disappointing and painful records of my bets, so I'd rather try to forget them than record them :D

However, what I do is wrong, as I have already read that it is important for bettors to keep a record of all bets made over time because this would help monitor results and winnings, as well as identify areas where the player can improve their strategy. of betting.
The objective of keeping this record would be to allow the bettor to evaluate his investments and what the true results are, whether there are more losses or gains and where his greatest probability of success is so that, based on this data, he can make more intelligent decisions and adopt best strategies to manage your betting bankroll correctly.

Actually I am keeping track about loss and wins and no mlre... but it is a very useful method if you are looking for certain results because it allows you to maximize your winning bets, identify errors/patterns and so on...
having a track record also allows you to avoid going over budget, in short it always has a validity then the degree of "depth" depends on the type of game

Keeping track of how much money I have won and how much money I have spent in gambling places will keep me in a bad situation and can ultimately lead to depression. I will never count the money I have spent in gambling places and I will not remember it again and I will enjoy the money I have won in gambling places by buying things that have been my dreams all this time. Gambling is not about calculations, for me gambling is a pleasure that I buy, without money you can never gamble. So, just enjoy it even though defeat or victory is coming your way.

You see, every action, wager, victory, and setback in the realm of amusing gambling tells a tale. And tales are something to cherish, my friend. I have experienced numerous high-stakes gambling scenarios, but have I documented my gaming experiences? I have not, at all. However, that does not imply that it is a bad concept

People who want to jump right into the game, experience the rush, and not be bothered with numbers have told me it's a waste of time. I genuinely get that. The thing is, though, that records provide you with perspective, insight, and a path forward that outlines your past and present. I can therefore appreciate the genius behind it even though I've never done it. Examine thoroughly, stay ahead of the game, and never give up. That is essential

It's hard to do this. If you're only gambling on a single platform and they have a feature which measures your overall profit or loss, it would be easy. But I gamble online and offline, and I use more than two gambling and betting platforms, and also they don't provide a computation as to whether I have been in profit or loss as far as my bets are concerned, so I don't think I can do this.

Since I gamble moderately, I think there's no urgent need for me to record my winnings and losses. I'm not worrying about having a big loss already because I don't spend life-changing amounts in gambling.

Recording or viewing history when carrying out gambling activities is an important thing for gamblers to do if they have the goal of making a profit. We can monitor how much we spend today or tomorrow and the next day so that we set limits on these activities.
Indeed, sometimes if we experience a lot of losses and see records of huge expenses, it will increase our frustration because we have not succeeded in making a profit from the game we are playing, so we will chase these losses even more.
In my opinion, recording gambling activities is necessary, but it's up to them whether they want to do it or not. By using notes, someone will not experience big losses because with these notes they can control themselves not to carry out gambling activities continuously.

its true what @Hatchy said actually there is already a similar topic and I will probably answer the same thing because I have previously said in another thread that recording my gambling history or recording my losses or profits in gambling will only make myself regret it because in the beginning I gambling is just for fun, just like we eat something every day for survival needs and we calculate expenses from childhood to adulthood and there is no point in calculating like that.

however, it all depends on each individual goals because there are gamblers who really want to make a profit from gambling, even though it is very silly, but they always record the losses and profits that have been made to measure how much they have lost or gained from gambling so far and will cover the losses from betting.

this is my worry if a person calculates their entire gambling history if they are not mentally prepared they might feel regret and chase losses and that is very bad for me.

I prefer to keep these thoughts in my mind rather than jot them down, as I'm uncertain of their future purpose. Thus far, my involvement in the realm of gambling has not been particularly serious, as reflected by the modest sums I wager in each game. The amount I've spent on gambling hasn't been significant, as it's primarily for entertainment purposes every week.

I merely recall a few losses on high-odds bets and victories on low-odds wagers. It's like something etched in our minds automatically. I've never documented these experiences in writing or on screen recordings.

Actually, it's not that difficult because you only need to record the amount of your expenses and the results every time you gamble. This is not to measure profits or losses when gambling, but it aims to ensure that expenses are regular and the gambling activities you do can be controlled quite well.

It is good if you are able to accept all the losses you experience, whether big or small, but it would be wiser if you were able to do something better, namely by minimizing the level of losses you experience in gambling.


If it's only in our minds, we tend to only remember the biggest losses and biggest wins that you have ever had, while ordinary losses and wins will often be forgotten. So this is where recording is needed.

And it's true that everyone says that when they gamble, the goal is to have fun, but when defeat and a big loss comes, it seems like that's not the case, they often get angry and feel unclear and regret everything. I think it is important to keep a record to make it easier for us to apply deposit limits when gambling, so that when we lose we are ready for this. Because you are ready to lose that money.

Maybe you are referring to this? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5469835.0). But it's nice to hear that you are like that because I assume that you are a very organized person in each of the things that you do. It can be a hassle if you are actively playing but it can also be for your own good to know your spending especially if you think you are addicted already. Losses and winnings will be nothing without real money involved.

In my case, I rarely did it. And if I do, I only use the notepad in my mobile because I find it more easy to use and straight to the point. Doing this will prevent me from depositing if I see that I never win yet on a certain period or my losses are more than my winnings.

You have to maintain that and keep using gambling as entertainment so that you don't get deeper into gambling. There are many consequences that you can receive if you get deeper into gambling and the worst is when you become addicted to gambling so you really have to be able to maintain self-control while gambling.

It will depend on each person to record their gambling or whether they don't want to have a record because they don't want to remember how much money they have used. And it's okay if you don't document your gambling because you have other reasons. And whatever it is, what we have to remember is to limit our gambling and not chase winning because it is difficult to do.

In the past, I used to keep detailed records, which included all the deposited transactions and the losses in my account. However, I gradually stopped maintaining these records after experiencing several consecutive losses over a few months. Since then, I have not been keeping track of my losses. Right now, I accept that losses in gambling will lead to more enormous losses when you're trying to recover them. So, currently, I have allocated only an amount I can easily forget to lose.

It's a nice decision to now allocate a stipulated amount of money each time you want to gamble and quit for the day whenever the money used is exhausted. One thing about keeping records of winning and losses is that it keeps a gambler in check as in to know if he's truly progressing or not.  When a gambler keeps his records of winning and losses, he can be able to know if gambling is a profitable engagement for him or not which will help in future decision making on wether to continue gambling or reduce his gambling activities. Whatever we do I think we must to to be progressive and when it becomes obvious that there's no progress, it's good for us to quit

And it makes sense, really. Why? Because all of those things don't contribute any but instead, it only ruins our day seeing a huge amount we've lost. Perhaps, it was not necessary as we know that we've lost a lot rather than winnings, and it was natural in gambling. At least, we don't have anything to remember that disappoints but instead, we still make fun of gambling.

Well, I couldn't really imagine doing this and I'd never been thinking of doing it. Might some gamblers have been into such things but for sure, they will soon stop it.

In other words, experiencing losses threw you out of your game. You felt so bad about it you didn't want to see the records anymore and went into denial mode, because as long as we don't see it and don't think about it, it didn't happen. :D
I don't keep records because it's not a daily or even weekly thing for me. I gamble occasionally and I would find it annoying to count every penny and write it down. I don't even keep records of my bitcoin investment. I know the general range at which I bought my coins but I wouldn't be able to tell you how much in profit I am.

                                                        In the past I keep recording my losses per week , and assume that I will never have
the same losses in the next week but it turns out that instead of of lessening ? i chases my losses so i stopped the recording
 and only let my wife allows me specific amount to gamble, I even asked her the money because she is the one whos holding
my ATM and just giving me allowance for how much I needed.
    
                                                       So for me there is no need for recording instead what we need is to control our gambling ,
 Have a plan to how much  to risk and how much a target winning. that is the safest and the best way to stay better in gambling.

Experience they say is the best teacher. Sometimes it is nice to have a taste of something to know if we are cut out for it or not. Like most of us here have tasted gambling and we know where we are better fit because of the loses and wins we have recorded. Keeping records is good to have a good check of the gambling loses and wins if at all we have had wins. Another thing is to take a decision after you know the outcome of the records if it is favourable or not.

By recording the losses we experience, of course we will not be able to control ourselves from gambling, we will continue to gamble because we want the money we have back, we can return with a big win, but that will never happen if our money runs out. all to do gambling. Limiting the money we have for gambling will certainly enable us to control ourselves in gambling and if the money we spend on gambling has run out then we will not take other money to continue gambling and this can help us to safeguard the money we have.

I never do this but from time to time I check my betting history not to check my losses and wins but to check the pattern even if it will not give me a hint about how to play I checked it out of curiosity, I can be organized on many things but I don't want to be organized in gambling it will just be guilty on how much or how big I'm losing in gambling, I prefer to just play and forget and consider gambling as a form of entertainment and the kind of entertainment where you need to pay jus tliek you do when paying for a movie or concert.

You never calculate the money you spend on cinemas or concerts if you treat gambling like entertainment like you do with concerts and cinemas you're not going to keep a record.

I’ve done this when I’m still new and still have no good system in my gambling activities and there’s nothing wrong on doing this because you can assume to be a responsible gambler and you just want to track your activities. Since it requires a lot of time and effort, i decided not to continue doing this and just focus more on my strategy and setting limit in my activities. If you want to know if you are making profit or not then do this maybe by doing this you’ll realize that gambling is really not a good source of money if you are not lucky.

Everyone has a different objective as to why they will want to keep record of their gambling history and why they won't also want to do that. You have been doing the record-keeping thing for some time, but suddenly you stopped doing that as a result of the record reminding you of the money you have spent in gambling, which could either mean both ways, as many have claimed that it will make them start chasing their losses, but to some it will make them stop and reduce the amount that they gamble in order not to get those losses bigger than they already are.
 
To me, such a record will help me monitor my gambling habit, decide if it has been favourable to me or not, and based on this, I will decide on the next step to take. But stopping to keep those records won't help stop gambling either, but the pains that manner of loss seen in the record will show you might help stop one from gambling after recording what that large amount spent could have been used for.

There was a time when I kept records of my winnings/losses and I'll be honest with you, you're right in that it's pretty useless, especially when you have a strictly limited gambling budget. In my opinion it doesn't matter at all how much money you win or lose gambling, as long as you spend the money on something you really enjoy. Besides, I don't see the point of counting the money won/lost, because even if I have this information - it will change absolutely nothing.

I don’t know.. Keeping a record of all your outcomes whenever you stake doesn’t seem that important or exciting. If a gambler keeping such a record and has about 10 pages filled with records of losses and only a page or two having his wins, I think that would be pretty depressing. Seeing how much money he has spent having hopes of winning and finally losing out. That could be pretty depressing or could further still, motivate the person to keep playing and still having hopes of winning the big one that could cover all his losses he has incurred.

It’s pretty much a waste of time to log in all your wins and losses. Your memory already holds such records so why bother?

We have to admit that recording losses and wins (in statistics) will certainly make the gambling we do no longer enjoyable, but I personally still have the mindset that everything must be recorded, regardless of whether I have a budget allocated for gambling or not. By recording losses and wins, it will make us gamble realistically and considerately. Everyone has their own POV, whether they record losses or not, allocate a gambling budget or not, it all has to be done responsibly, that's all.

Keeping records of wins and losses in gambling may be a good idea, but I don't think I can do it because that will not always give me rest of mind if I always discover my losses, and with that, I will not enjoy my gambling again. That can really even bring depression to me if I could have the record and discover that those small amounts I waste in gambling become big amounts after all the calculations. So the best thing for me is to just continue gambling with a small amount that I can afford to lose, and I think that will be a wise idea for me. To be honest, having records of certain things is very good, because that can even be a great help, especially in gambling. The records will help some people determine whether to continue gambling or not.

Apart from doing it can became a hassle, I don't really find very useful as most platform have an option to view your betting history and even your statistics whether your on a positive or negative profit.

I understand that keeping a record can help you track your gambling status which might assist you on controlling your gambling activities but still it can also make you chase loses if you notice that you're somehow winning and recovering your loses.

Is keeping records useful? I don't think so. The only people that can keep records are those who gamble once in a while, but people who gamble frequently won't have time for that. How many records will you be keeping daily? Time that will be spent on keeping records should be spent on doing your analysis. You are gambling and not trading, it's of no use to keep track of your gambling activities. Keeping a record won't help you improve your gambling activities, just have a limit whenever you are gambling, and whenever your limit has been reached, it's better to stop gambling.

Maybe since I don't keep gambling records, that's why I think it's a waste of time. I have to ask you what's the purpose of keeping gambling records and how it's going to improve your gambling activities. Maybe the response I get from you will convince me to always keep my gambling records, and how will people who gamble frequently keep their gambling records?

Knowing that one has lost a huge amount of money would help the individual decide whether to cut back on gambling, or not. Cutting back may mean, a gambling budget,  gambling time, some breaks off of gambling and so on. These are the possibilities that exists when there is a record keeping.

It would make a lot of difference if you do.May I challenge you do it for four weeks and report to us the results.

This was the difference between the experienced gambler and to the new gambler.The aim of the new gambler will be make the big win in the game,So he don’t bother about the deposit money to the gambling sites.The gambler should keep their own separate record for the loss and record for win.So he can tally the both win and loss in the game in the say to day gambling games.But the gambler should not take this in the wrong way and become the gambling addict in the game.The record must be secret and shouldn’t reach your family members.So the family member should not start to question you on this loss in the record.

If your wife has your ATM and gives you money for your needs then I assume she has a record of how much you are losing every week since women are pretty good at keeping a count of the money being spent ;D. They might not remember how much money you give them but they will surely remember how much you have taken from them, that's a skill that women possess and it's good in cases like yours where you might be taking money from her for gambling.

I'm pretty sure that if you keep it the way it is right now, you will never spend a lot of money on gambling because your wife will not allow you to do that. The money that you get is the only money that you can spend within a week, now it's up to you if you lose it all or win something with it and keep some for yourself, or you give them back if you win ;D.

They are really that indeed good and there's no way that they could be able to witness or observe if there's something happening specially on spending which money are really that too fast to be spent out and then this is where confrontation happens specially if you are the ones who had lost up those budget that been given. Basing up on real experience then im the ones who had been holding with my ATM and my wife is really just the one who do make out the budgeting and wont really be that asking questions but of course it would really be just that so normal that they would really be the ones who would really be making those allocations basing up on the amount that you are giving on which it is really just that normal but in most cases on which salaries would really be known by your wives and thats why having  those kind of secret transactions or pull off with those
amounts then it would be somewhat pointless.

Keeping record with your winning and losses isnt really that something bad because you would really be able to see if you are that losing that much or you are still that in good shape yet you are really just
near on breakeven or profitable and with this then you could tell which neither you would really be that still deciding to play still or would be having a break if you do see that it is already too much.

New gamblers tend to be filled with curiosity about how the gambling system works, so they continue to make deposits to continue gambling with the aim of getting big profits from gambling. Meanwhile, for those who have been gambling for a long time, they already know how the gambling system works, so even without a record it can make them more careful in gambling and continue to try to control themselves when gambling. and they also tend to gamble just to fulfill their desire to gamble because they already "choose and place" part of their enjoyment in gambling.

I don't know what the use of notes is in gambling, in fact I'm not sure they need to learn anything when they are againt the system. I'm not really interested in learning how to beat the system, it's obviously pointless especially in luck based games like slots, dice or some others. Usually notes are not made to prevent many losses, but they seem to want to learn something that they believe could be the main weapon to beat the system.

In my opinion, gamblers keep records of wins/losses for very different reasons. Someone to understand how much money loses in the casino for a certain period of time, someone to calculate the real RTP of a particular gambling game, someone keeps a record of all their income/expenses, so the activity in gambling is also included in these records.   

I have stated in this thread and in my personal and humble opinion, no gambler is supposed to keep a strict record of their wins and losses, because it could encourage chasing losses, because the craving of one to get in net positive with the casino balance, instead knowing one lost money in the long or mid term.
However, I must admit I did not take into considerations those gamblers who happen to live in the United States and in other nations where gambling income is taxed, so in order for it to be properly declared to authorities, it is necessary to track ones's losses and winnings. It is pretty much similar to what traders have to do, so they won't commit the mistake and end up  being accused of tax evasion.  :(

Those living in strict countries just like the United States, it's important for them to record their wins but how about their losses? Anyway, that's how it will go if they're into gambling and get got a win, that will definitely come in to their revenue.

It's okay not to keep records if you're just typically gambling and you enjoy it. That's why the casino themselves have their records and histories for your reference.

I think that's more than enough for someone who wants to have himself a record just for his personal perusal.

I believe people in the United States are also supposed to keep a record of their losses in gambling and also related to trading of securities and cryptocurrencies. Because, as far as I understand, if they can prove to their government and the taxation agency that they have suffered significant losses because those activities, they can opt to pay less taxes or even get a refund of the taxes they end up paying.
I have personally talked a little bit about that with some friend of mine who lives in the United States, because of their low income they generally get a refund of their taxes and also can qualify for government programs to get food stamps and also access to healthcare.
Interestingly enough, in the United States there is also some law to reduce your taxes if you keep tracks of the gifts you make to people who does not belong to your close family.

Doing paperwork there must be a nightmare if one does not do it with enough time.

Many gamblers will choose the gambling as the fun oriented game,So they won’t keep the record of the loss and winning of the game.But we have to understand the fact only the serious people and want to earn from the gambling will do this record of the games.Because by calculating the win and loss of the game may affect the mindset of the gambler,So the emotions of the gambler may trigger and it will affect the entire game.So it’s better to play the gambling game without any of the record is my opinion on this.But if you want to make the big change in the gambling,you need to learn the new way of the game daily.

That's nice to know that there are incentives when you're under the typical median income. So, the taxation is going to depend on your results as well. I think that I have seen it somewhere people have discussed about this but I have forgotten if it's from here or somewhere else.

Well, going with the personal thoughts about keeping record so for those that are in that country, you've got no choice but to record it and it's more of an obligation to do so you have to do it.

Even if you don't like it, you have to.

This is not about fighting a system but about understanding a gambling system. We need to understand this not so that we can get big profits in gambling, but we need to understand this so that we can be more careful in gambling and not behave carelessly when playing it.
And however and whatever the method, we will never be able to fight a gambling system, what we need to do is continue to try to control ourselves in gambling so that the gambling activities we carry out are under control and do not cause significant levels of loss.

Of course, they can do it for any purpose, but I'm not sure if 1/10th of gamblers have done it. I never keep track of how much I lose and how much I win from gambling, but I just limit my budget on gambling especially to the amount I can afford to lose. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose because both are part of the game, so I ignore the notes for whatever reason.

---

Simply put, gamblers don't need to be afraid of losing because it's basically part of the game. If they don't want to lose more than they can afford to lose, then set a budget limit and gamble responsibly. So, have you take notes everything so far?

Most people will tend to just play gambling for fun and for good reason - you're highly likely to lose money over the long term because bookmakers and casinos put a lot of resources into making sure they are the long term winners. These companies are not charities and have a sizable buffer built into all of the bets that they offer to their customers. Some casinos will entice you with many winning streaks at the start of your account or even every single day, but they run a blackbox system which can quickly tilt the other way so you face a lot of losses. Unless you're playing a skill based game like poker, you should realize that the odds - that casinos freely advertise on each game - are mathematically stacked against you.

If you are are really just aware or been wary about the risks of gambling then you wont really be that making yourself that get addicted through it. It is really just that a matter of self realization and making things which are sensible on doing so. If you do see that it is risky then you should really be that playing with outmost careful act and management specially into your finances. Having a record is never been that recommended though yet it would really be that so impossible that you cant really be able to determine if  you are already spending that much or you are really that still in good shape when it comes to spending.
Somewhat if you do find out that this is the best way on controlling yourself then its up to you which each person is really that different when it comes to things on which they would really be that
having that different behavior and approaches on things.

For me then it wont really be that necessary because seeing my losses in overall will really be just that be making me that desperate because if small losses would really be accumulated and you've seen
that you had spend out that much then there's a tendency that you would really be that spending up more because you would really be chasing up losses.

And that's good practice, because keeping a record of track of your expenses is a good way of knowing how much your money has grown or lost, I personally keep a record of everything I do, especially in gambling, because I should know if my capital produces a profit or not. In that way, I will be a responsible gambler, not just gamblers who bet and doesn't have a concern on their money. I also keep track or record of my trading in bitcoin or any other coin and also in my investments, let's say, in all the things I do with relation to money. I think many think that it's a waste of time or they say that you should not have a thing that will remind you of your losses. No, you should have, so you know if you are a responsible gambler and know if you should continue or quit gambling.

It's not only a good practice but also to keep yourself on track of how much money you wager and your earnings. Knowing if your capital produces money or not is good, but do keep in mind that it might also be the trigger of chasing your losses if ever you see your records with negative profit. Self-control is still needed even if you're tracking your gambling activities.

And instead of him having the desire to chase his losses, maybe he doesn't need a gambling record, and he still limits his gambling so that he doesn't lose a lot of money. With these restrictions, it is enough for him to be able to gamble responsibly so that he can get pleasure from gambling, while if he loses, he also does not try to recover his losses. He can still control himself while gambling. After all, he doesn't think about how much he will lose because he is really disciplined in gambling. But it all comes back to each gambler because not all gamblers have good self-control.

I am never afraid of losing in gambling because after all this is part of a gambling game. The thing I'm afraid of is myself, I'm afraid that the gambling I do can't be completely controlled, causing something worse than just a gambling addiction. So I need a special record so that I can easily apply financial limits when gambling.


IIn fact, armed with these notes, it makes me better at controlling my finances and gambling activities and this can also make it easier for me to minimize the level of losses in gambling. Everyone has their own views about gambling and each person also has their own way so that they can maintain control over their gambling activities.
And I'm not too worried about that, if the notes I do make me less enthusiastic about gambling, then I will decide to just stop gambling and look for other activities that are more positive and productive.

When you have a history of losses it is very difficult to make them wins, unless you have great patience with doing Different things , so when you try to do Things Better you do Have to keep a history, but Of course it is good to Start from scratch, not with losses Because that will have a mental effect in wanting to see those Numbers in positive and not in Negative , for this reason it is that when we see that there is something bad, we want to Change it , and the Person will be able to many goals, and goals are difficult to achieve when it Comes to a casino, and a casino will always have the advantage of Winning over any Player , and it is their Business , that is why they have the house advantage, and it must always be that way, They cannot benefit the players Above the house because it would make no sense for them to do so, no one sets up a Business to lose, it is someone who does not have any kind of sense, the one who has a Company, a business, is because he wants to win, not Because I want to lose.

Losses always have an effect on People , in the Majority , because it is simple , when there is a record the person can record, then when there is a record of Each bet, of the money that is placed in each bet, because it is something that is You can Admit there and comply , because that is a record, I also see it as important that Each win can be written a Report of How you did it to see if it is Applicable to generating a type of tacitc with respect to the Event of the game, and the Scenario that represents it, it is something that Sounds like an Invention, but the more detail in a casino and in the way of playing, it is something very good, because each note that is written, can be Studied and can be applied so that it can be very good as an Application , and in this case it has to Give many more Things , that is why the more order there is , the Better , because this way the money that is Being put into play is more Controlled , of course the money that is available to Lose.

Nope this is not waste of times nor this is a good one as we all know that recording our losses is good enough to be more careful nextime cause we can see in our record how bad it is, and also once we are tracking our losses we can control ourselves in our next bet. Anyways still it's up to us if we gonna track our record or not cause there's re many gambler that they don't have to worry all about si they will not going to track thier losses.

We can track losses from the game history or compare deposits and withdrawals, I'm sure on average they experience losses rather than wins when comparing from the withdrawal side, but gambling is not a factor in making a profit because I gamble for entertainment and I am prepared to accept losses from using funds limited to gambling, some gamblers may not have the mentality to calculate the funds that have been used for gambling, but some gamblers do not care to track previous gambling history because they are not ready to accept losses from gambling.

try recording your expenses every month, how do you feel? Are you becoming more wasteful or more frugal?
in psychology, when you record everything you do then you can think further about things you should avoid or improve, likewise when you are an active gambler, you must record your capital, your losses, your wins, money that you withdraw every time you play, you will find out what percentage of profits you make in gambling, i implemented it.

If you want to try of the gambling games,it may be help you find the exact loss or profit at the month end.But you should do next keep the daily or weekly record in the mind,because it will affect your entire game.So you can record the game win and loss.But don’t calculate the daily winning from the gambling sites and specific loss may made the gambler to use of the emotion to the gambling game.The gambling game with the emotion never gives you the good win from the gambling.So it’s essential for the gambler to do avoid of emotion to the gambling sites.

I dont really feel like to have that way on which making myself do really have that kind of tally on which it would really be just giving you off that kind of negativity on the time that you do see on how much you have already lost money.For you to have that kind of track then it would really be your choice because there are people who do really love on seeing everything or the method or ways that they would really be making themselves that able to trace up on where their gambling spending did go or having that kind of limit which it would really be just that depending on someone.
If you do love on having those kind of tallying or have some time on writing then its your choice but actually its totally been stated or shown in most platforms knowing on how much you have
deposit and how much you had wagered already.

Yes, in the past, I always recorded every win and loss especially when betting. I did that just to calculate what the team provides the win and lost for each week. But today, I didn't record it again, that looks waste the time, because today I can search for the statistics team and players on the internet. But, If someone here records that for counting the money, I think it's not a waste the time, especially for employees who work in the office, because they must record all money income and outcomes to manage themselves.

I think pretty much the gambling site will do the work to keep a record I just recently registered on Bitvest and we can actually see how much people win and losses and I can check some of their user too but this function can be turned off by the user, and I think is turned on by default, and this happens on any site, right?

There is actually a people actually turned a profit  :o but yeah most of it is total loss

We will find it difficult to win from gambling even though we really want to win, but what happens is that we will only experience more losses, and that will increase the number of losses in our gambling notebook if we make notes about our gambling. Gamblers will not be able to have the advantages that the house has because gamblers are just visitors and cannot win a lot of money. OK, the gambler can win, but not as much as the house wins. We can't achieve the biggest win like the house, so we shouldn't lose too much money. Moreover, we have had the experience of losing a lot of money, so we have to be even more careful. If you want to win a lot, you can create your own casino and collect every profit you get from losing gamblers. That will be a big advantage for you.

When there are gambling records, those who created them will always look through the records and will probably add up the wins or losses they have had so they can also decide what they should do. But maybe having a gambling record can trigger them to try to recover their previous losses because they think they can do it. But if they are aware, they have little chance of getting it. Gambling records can help them to reduce their gambling activities so that they can see what they have gained from gambling so that they should seriously reduce it.

What's the use of keeping track of the losses in gambling as it will only add to the tension when you keep on counting your losses and profits and losses always amounting on a higher side? That is the main reason I would avoid counting my wins and losses and try to forget the loses in order to remain stress free.

Even if you have allocated a certain amount for gambling, and you know that you cannot lose more than that, even then a loss will make you sad, and later counting it again and again will have a bad effect on your emotions.

I understand the point and that is what we mostly want to avoid, when we are in a casino we do want to See it for what it is, which is to have fun and enjoy, well I think it can be a great option, now what we Want is make other things available, do you have to look at a caisno to make it reusable? How to have Profits because I think that there it is Necessary to make a record where you keep track of everything from the minimum bet, to comments about why you thought you lost, because basically things when it comes to doing things Better,  Well, we must note or make note that when we see numbers in red, or in negative, our mind will at once want to Remember, and we will play with that in our minds, and partly because we can be very calm, because We will not be very calm,  All because if something bothers us and can Become Something that affects us Later, then the Strategies change.


We know that all casinos are made so that he always wins, and that we take advantage of touches of luck, we know that, the important thing is knowing when that luck can arrive, because in a casino everything is random considering the advantage of chance. case, however we can say that the most certain thing is that when we play and win we have to remember how that process was to see if it can be respected, although it is not a pattern, but it is something that can help us, very different from when we We dedicate ourselves to gambling sports, I think it is more profitable than if we play in a slot machine, because of the slots they can rob us of all our money and leave us laundered, but in sports betting, although if we can lose everything, we can defend a little more because it is not random and although in some games there may be touches of luck, since it is something that is already out of our Hands, that is why it is always good to realize that the best thing is to play wisely Without Spending a lot.

Yes, actually there are many more bad impacts when we calculate our losses in gambling and what often happens is as you said and several other impacts, perhaps like what I experienced, when one day I saw the total losses during the time I had been gambling, I became imaginative and thought if only that money I don't use it for gambling, maybe I can buy a house with several vehicles and in the end I regret myself as you said and this regret is when someone has low thoughts, usually they can't control themselves, instead they seem to want revenge, taking the loss and the biggest impact this is bad for me.

This would be the wrong thing to do for me,  because it will just cause you more stress when you have come to notice that your loses are freaking more than your actual winning and it will just break you physically, emotional and mentally. Keeping track of your loses and winning is something that is not advisable for anyone because I believe no one has ever gotten advantage over the house before and by this I mean every gambler loses are more than his winnings.

It seems that you are experiencing high losses in gambling, but you choose to ignore the losses because you want to avoid the impact of depression and avoid anger to recover losses from gambling with revenge. Actually I calculate losses from all gambling history, but I am not a gambling addict and rarely gamble so I only have small losses, I can recover gambling losses from other income including from trading activities and other work, I also determine the limit of losses from gambling, if I experienced high losses so I decided to stop gambling or only gamble one bet per month for sports and wrestling bets.

Checking your losses will make you reduce or plan how to gamble for the next time, so I see it as another way of minimising how someone plans to gamble because if someone is always on the winning side, then definitely this person will be gambling more than he is supposed to, but if there are losses, you can see that he will be able to make sense of doing it. And again, it will reduce another way of getting addicted to gambling since too much if everything is bad, so recording your losses will make someone think about how their gambling journey has been going, whether by losing or winning, and recording it will make them do it responsibly.

That's just the thin because there is every tendency that after checking all there gambling records and realize how much they have lost and what they are going through financially they could possibly be affected psychologically and there gambling decision.

However I believe that in most cases in life there are some findings and truths that are better of the way they are because acquiring to know them could sometimes results to a negative outcome, so I don't think there is need of keeping the gambling records.

I think you are very correct but same goes with the feeling of actually checking it so as to help you maintain or limit the way you gamble because sometimes you would have so much that you have lost your way and forgotten yourself in the gambling act so sometimes checking this will actually guide  you on knowing if you are turning to an addicted gambler or getting to the limit of an gambling addict.

I believe everyone has their own approach on how they realized if they are in profit or not.  Recording the inflow and outflow of funds in gambling is essential if we wanted to track instantly if we are in a losing side or still in a positive gain.  This way we can give ourselves a time to think whether to pause our gambling activities or continue with it.  Sometimes we missed important factors like the time when we are wondering why our finances are not doing good.  With tallying our gambling activities' gains and losses, we can easily picture out what is to adjust.

Since the budget for gambling fall under the finance management, it is always a good thing to have a check and balance of everything.

Many new gambler had try to keep their records in the gambling site,So he can do the easy target of the damage loss in the gambling sites.The loss in the gambling will affect you physically,mentally and emotionally at the first time in gambling.The reason behind this was the gambler considered the gambling as the real time job or earning tool for their real life.Don’t consider the gambling as the real job and play rthe gambling with the entertainment mode for the good health.

If we want to track it then we could actually do it because we do know that that those stats are really that been recorded or something that you could see and make out some calculations directly
into your mind on how much you have earned and how much you have lost. You can also check out your deposit history on which it would really be that so impossible that you wont really be able to
check it out. This is why having some tally is somewhat really that not that much needed on doing manually considering that everything could really be seen and some that that could really be that checked out. This is why it is really just that too hassle if you are really that always consider on making some tallies manually if you could really be able to see it automatically.

Obviously losses will always be bigger than wins except for new gamblers or those who haven't started gambling for long time but have already had big win or jackpot, maybe they can still have record of bigger wins than losses it just that one in thousand gamblers which luck like this.
Indeed seeing too many losses can cause stress and may be difficult to accept, but there is also positive side if the gambler can think well, namely that he will be more careful and not careless with the aim of minimizing losses on large scale in the future.

This kind of attitude is the right attitude because he prefers to avoid anything that has the impact of bringing emotional feelings and also depression or stress.
Usually, gamblers make this decision because they are aware that they have an attitude that is easily emotional and not easy to control themselves, so they don't want to feel like taking revenge in the future to return the losses that have occurred.
Every action in gambling has its good and bad sides depending on the gambler own attitude.
After all, everyone will not be the same as you or you could say that everyone has unique characteristics in making decisions or acting according to different thoughts.

In any even how close to science article about gambling says that in the long run the casino or gambling house has an advantage over the player, so it really does not matter whether or not you keep statistics, all the same from this little change. Of course in gambling as in many other areas there are errors and randomness, so a small percentage of gamblers will be on the plus side, but most will still be in the minus. I believe that the frustration brings not statistics, but the moment of loss. But we still continue to gamble, because the moment of winning for many is incomparable.   

I don't want to remember it anymore, looking at total losses or total wins will only waste time and mislead myself and I am very sure that everyone will experience the same thing, even if only for a moment and even if the amount is only small, but if the losses exceed the profits, the feeling of regret will always be there. There if I appreciate your enthusiasm by betting small amounts even though you always calculate your total losses but your efforts to recover losses in other ways are very wise and it is very rare for a gambler to have wise thinking like you and maybe this method can be imitated by other gamblers because there are no the harm in recovering losses in the way you did rather than recovering by gambling again is very risky because emotions will definitely have a bad impact.

We have our winning and losing days, we just stay put and ready our mind for the very best events to happen in our lives. Everyday comes with a whole different opportunity, we either missed out or grab them with full potential of earning extensively from the system. What's the essence of keeping our records in gambling? It will only lead to heartbreak of witnessing unexpected results. It will only bring back terrible memories of the past, so I would advised anyone close to me that's in the space to quit gambling and focus more on exploring prominent opportunities in the system.

For a gambler, statistics may not have much influence because they still want to continue gambling. Maybe having a record will be good for someone who wants to limit their gambling, but it can also make them stressed because they see that their losing numbers will be greater than their winning numbers. It would influence his subconscious to try to recover from his defeat even though he knew it would be difficult. But the house will get its biggest winnings from losing gamblers, so if we don't want to be on the list of losing gamblers, we have to really tighten our limits in gambling. Most gamblers will be on the negative side and treated so that this can trigger them to continue gambling and ultimately increase their losses even bigger.

ideally, it might sound reasonable to keep such record and review it on a weekly or monthly bases but in in real life, I doubt most people will even want to do that.
But I feel that this will go a very long way in ensuring responsible gambling as you can just go through your gambling history to check of you are being addicted to gambling or not. And yes, it will take away the fun aspect of gambling because for those that just gamble for the sake of fun, it will make them look like they are working because of the seriousness in taking audit of every game played as well as those lost or won

It could work like that for some compulsive gamblers but not for most people fortunately. Studies show that the pain of losing money at gambling games is greater than the joy to win money for most people. Statistics of deposits from casino customers show the same thing, after few deposits without cashout they give up. That's why casinos offer bonuses and promotions in order to keep them. People generally feel bad when they lose so if they are more conscious of their losses they are more likely to stop playing or to limit it at least.

If you are really just doing gambling just for the sake of fun then you wont really be hassling yourself on having some record or trying to check out whether you are negative or positive and this is how things should really be done.Somewhat people are different when it comes to their approaches on things on which some would really be that mindful on checking out those numbers on which they've been trying out to pretend that it is really just that fine or forms of trying out to control their gambling spending on which it isnt really that bad either. There really just that people who are really that
who are really that trying out to be that too loves on involving into something even on the slightest thing to be done by a certain individual. There's nothing wrong on having a record because if you do find out yourself to be having this kind of behavior for you to have in control or everything should really be in checks then it is still a considerable approach.

For me then i dont really care on what are thos numbers because on the time that i do gamble, then i do usually deposit on the amount which is really just that intended for the sake of fun.
Doesnt matter whether it would really be a win or lose in the end as long im on that moderation then i dont see any issues about this. I can play all the time i want
without worrying on getting wrecked because of losing control.

Your points are absolutely valid mate. I believe that gambling as an engagement that involves money should always always be checked by people who engage in it in other not to continue losing their money and one of the ways to know if one is gaining or losing in gambling is by keeping records of winnings as well as their losses.
When the record is kept and later reviewed, it'll help the gambler to determine if he's making profits from gambling and continue with his gambling or making losing money and stop gambling or probably change strategy

with that we can manage our finances well and by looking at our gambling record history we can review whether our activities exceed the limits or not, in fact this is very important for gamblers who have the principle of always applying their limits in gambling by looking at this history a gambler can stop easily without having to chase their losses, because sometimes gamblers who don't look at their spending activities will easily gamble without limits. This will have a detrimental impact because gambling must be used with limits if we don't want to experience significant losses.

I believe every gambler will have a different view regarding this. A lot of people would prefer to keep their statistics related to their gambling activities just so that they can evaluate the time and money they've been spending on gambling and if needed, maybe make necessary changes. Also, I believe that a person who gambles just for fun already has a set limit for their time and budget for gambling and they don't cross those limits no matter what happens.

Only gamblers who gamble to earn money mostly keep statistics just to make sure that they have a record for every session about how much they have used, how much has been lost, and how much they have managed to win because they are gambling for money in the first place and they need to keep a count.

Yes, because some gamblers do want to evaluate the status of their game. Looking for the possibility of having to change with their current strategy or their way of playing. But some gamblers can't wait to see they see the record of their games. It might be stressful for them or just a hassle to keep on track.

I guess that's true. Some might also be keeping a record to know how much money they have lost and how much money they have to take back.

The gambling companies keep track of win of losses on some site so I dont record it just open the analytics and the gambling companies use this as a tool to decide who win and who lose hahaha.

Initially do gamble just for fun and with the strict budget and you will worry free.

Yes, every gambler has different thoughts and even keeps statistics on their losses or wins just to show off to other people and I have a friend who is like that, it very ridiculous.

I agree with your opinion, gambler who thinks about money or more precisely gambles on sports betting or whatever just for the sake of winning to earn income. They always consider the plan from the statistical results to reduce or add to the number of limits they make to get the target that has been set plan but I'm worried that something like this could make the gambler unconsciously chase his losses and this will be very bad when after seeing the results of his loss record he feels emotional and increases the number of bets with a larger value.

I use to remember back in those days when our parents use to archive things for a long period and after the rediscovery of what they have hidden for long, we will all be thrown into amazement for seing such information or record still in existence after a very long time, keeping a record is good in serving a remembrance thing for us to mark on a certain occassion about a particular thing and i want to believe none of us would wanted to have all the bad records of losses too in our archives for records purpose.

An addicted gambler never accepts the fact that they are addicted and they wish it to be that way. The day they accept that they are addicted and put in the self-control, they will be able to improve. Keeping track of wins and losses over time means doing this anyway and hence they rarely do this.

However professional players like in poker, sports betting, you will often find people doing this. Even in trading this is common and although it helps keep track how much it helps in making money, I have my doubts.

It takes the "fun" out of the gambling and hence not common among gamblers to do.

Everyone manages their gambling differently. Personal style and coping strategies are key, right? For some, meticulous win-loss records are essential. Why? Because its not just about the thrill of the game; its about being strategic, especially for those who see gambling as a source of income. Then there are people who play just for fun and set strict limits on their time and money. They keep to their limits no matter what. Like an internal alarm clock that says "Time's up!" or a wallet that closes when the budget's reached. Can tracking make gambling a science rather than a hobby? Maybe, but everyone copes differently, right? Some evaluate their reality using statistics to avoid bad tendencies. Some ride the excitement with a safety net.

How will someone keep a record of such events, it sounds strange, how many of those records can you keep, gambling is naturally a game of winning and losing, when you lose in gambling just see that at this point you weren't meant to win, don't always believe in strategy because it doesn't work in gambling, I see winning in gambling something that is meant to take place in its own time, so keeping a record of how many loses you have incurred as gambling won't help you, but it makes you careful of odds and this might make you lose more if care is not taken, I can speak for myself only, I don't keep record of the aforementioned, I only do my best to win and I do this with little stake and possible good outcome selection.

My strategy was different one,I had a record my loss in the spread sheet for every one week and on every Sunday.It help me to understand the correct amount of loss or gain per week in the gambling sites.But the same was calculated to the monthly basis and fixed my next month profit to the gambling site.Every month profit money was based on the two things,one is based on the loss in the gambling site on the previous month.The second was the money I had loss for the period of six months of the gambling in that particular gambling sites.The bad records will help me to fix the target of the profit on my next gambling for the next week in the gambling sites.

Such is a nice strategy for keeping your gambling records. I prefer to keep records of my performance as well because this would guide me through the strategies used in winning for which I have recorded. I think when it comes to improvement, this option of records keeping would improve your chances of better game strategy to winning than just the normal regular games and things.
To be honest, keeping records aids alot for one to know how far they have achieved their goals as a gambler and what they would need to do or develop to aid them while gambling or if possible to minimise the rate at which they gamble if it is excessively done.

Personally, I don't record winnings and losses. But I watch it on the gambling websites or apps I play. I even watch it hourly and weekly. I always remember the amount of money I deposited to play and the rewards I withdrew. Even though I don't write it down, I always remember clearly how much I spent and how much I earned when gambling. Because currently, I see gambling as a game to earn some spending money for my purposes. Luckily, I made a little money from gambling. It's not much. Because I am very cautious in investing, especially gambling, I do not dare to risk winning big.

The suffering in gambling is greater than the joy because joy will only come to those who succeed in winning the gambling game, while there are still more people who experience losses in gambling. This should make people realize that no matter how much money they spend on gambling, it will not guarantee that they will win. Deposit and withdrawal statistics from a customer can help gamblers see the amount of money that has been used so that they should be able to realize what benefits gambling has for them. If they experience losses more often than they win, they should start to reduce their gambling activities and prefer to stop gambling rather than continue gambling.

Yes, that's true because having fun means we can lose some money without expecting to win from gambling, especially since we know that gambling is just for fun. We will not focus on making money but only on the gambling game and enjoying the time playing gambling. Apart from that, we also won't spend more money, especially if we lose because it is normal to lose in gambling, so we have to be able to accept it. People who gamble for fun can accept the amount of their losses and can control themselves so as not to experience big losses. They don't want to lose control of themselves and will definitely stop when they have had enough gambling.

Yes, I am also like you, where I only deposit as much money as I can afford to gamble. I don't spend all the money that day but will leave a little money to save for another day when I want to gamble again. It really helped me to reduce the number of deposits many times, especially with the current increase in transaction fees, which can be worrying. That is why we must be able to maintain self-control to be able to accompany us while we gamble so that we can control our gambling activities and not lose a lot of money.

To be honest, I don't keep these records either, one day I Tried, but apparently I'm not so organized with these things, because what I do is concentrate on other things, and I forget to keep the record, but as long as a person Being very organized and patient is Ideal for keeping track of how good this is, 'because this way you can control it very well and each of us can do our part, not be part of the statistics where many players lose and losing money is what they are looking for, and even if there is no way to become profitable in the game, there is a chance of not spending so much and getting a little more profit and this has a lot to do with the things of making bets, it is something What has to happen, then as a person who is organized in the game and with a lot of patience because I am not at all, I think that these types of things are what I normally do not do because of the same way of being.

Now this is something that can be very beneficial for many people, especially those who are very organized and like to keep records of everything so that they can make their money, sometimes when I tried it I was very emphatic, I started from cratch , because if I put the balance negative, then I would be stressed because I am not going to start making a record and with the pressure of recovering those losses, that is something that we must consider, so if someone does it, they have to start from scratch, like this Things will be easier and it is advisable to do it on an Excel sheet to make it easier, so this order of ideas is my recommendation for People who do it, because starting with negative balances is something that is not recommended. The brain will automatically tell us that it has to recover that, so having all that in our mind is not good, when we Start from scratch we can Control the losses more easily.

Actually you should keep the record for the gambling,secially you need to keep the record for the loss.So it help to get back in the future game,but by the loss the gambler should not get addicted to the gambling game,the gambler who ready to get back the loss.The gambling had their gate wider and gives you many chances to get back the loss.But the gambler get into the gambling in deeper and can't withdrew the funds with the profit.The gambler will get some greedy after the few dollars profit from the gambling side.The most important thing is the gambler should control their mind in gambling after the complete win from the game.Some gambler will get emotional after get to know their loss in the gambling.But to be honest the gambler get the chance of win few dollars and the loss can be recovered with some few dollars to complete win.

When I started playing gambling, I think it never crosses my mind of doing it but it was only last time that I feel the need of doing it. I think it's because I already feel enough. You know, I mostly lose money that are seem to be outside of my capacity already and then I also re-deposit the money that I just won. I hate that kind of scenario but I don't know why I can't stop doing it before. I'm still thankful that I am once again back from being a responsible gambler.

I could say that recording winnings and losses does help. For those who can still play gambling properly. There is no need for them of doing it and if they do, maybe that is the time that they can say that it is only a waste of time, and they will think that they can't enjoy the game at its fullest.

I personally never record or deliberately remember the amount of money I have spent or the winnings I have obtained because my goal in gambling is to seek pleasure so I don't really care about it, maybe if I write it down then maybe I will stop betting because when I looking at the notes later it is very clear that we often see defeats in the notes, so to avoid frustration I should decide never to record them at all.

I also think that gambler should always have records of his gambling transactions and gambling results.  This way a gambler can easily know whether he is winning or not and can plan or make a right decision in order to minimize his losses. 

It is also important to know our gambling statistics so that we can find gambling games where we excel with like poker, blackjack or sports betting.  This can also help us to assess new strategy and systems.  According to this article: https://www.gamblingsitesonline.org/sports/articles/why-keep-betting-records/, the importance of keeping record of our winning and losing in gambling helps us find our shortcomings and strength.

Well this maybe one way to stop ignoring the losses you have made in gambling but still you cannot denied a fact that gambling is getting burden on us and slowly we are losing money from gambling.

When I to do not keep track of the losses in gambling and I appreciate the same working of yours but I will just advised to add further strength to your finicial portfolio, just allocated certain amount of money to the gambling so that you cannot lose anything which you have not allocated way before the game you play.

The question they can answer is whether they will continue to dig a deeper hole to trap themselves or prefer to slowly cover the hole with soil so that if they fall then they will not experience too much pain or will not experience significant injuries to their limbs, doesn't this question make sense? yes please answer, because your answer or choice will be able to determine your next fate. Going back to the original topic, I think taking notes is a good idea to serve as a warning so that we can take precautions, and so that the impact that we will experience later will not be too great. But maybe it will come back to the person, if indeed by seeing the record of the number of defeats that dominate they can reduce their gambling a little that's good, but on the other hand I'm sure that there will also be people who don't care about the record and still behave excessively.

Yes that's better, your advice is good enough to emphasize that person to further strengthen their finances by always making better considerations, one of which is by only putting a small amount of your money to gamble, it doesn't matter because after all this is just an activity for profit, and if you are lucky then you will also win like everyone else.

Would really be always fall out into the sense that people neither would care or not on the money that they are losing on the time that they do gamble. Keeping a record isnt bad to have some tracks but this do really basically shows that you are really that mindful about on how much you do lost and track on how much you do win. Its not bad but for the sake of limitation then i dont see for this to be that relevant
but rather it would really be just that making you even more that desperate on the time that you would really be that on gambling session.In my case then i dont really care that much about on how much
i do win or lose and never ever keep a tally or would really be that mindful about making some records.

I do only play with having that particular balance and never be that mindful about on the things that could happen whether it would be a losing or winning kind of condition.
You would really be just that making yourself that too stressful if you are really that minding about the numbers because you would really be finding yourself on
checking it out every now and then.

The reality of ascertaining whether or not you are winning when gambling (by winning I mean you are in profit) is to calculate the average of all loses and wins, the result of the calculation tells you how much you have either lost or gained while gambling, at worst, it will give you a neutral value.

But I recommend that people do their calculations from their records as it can also be likened to one making an investment in a particular asset class.

I wasn't so sure about keeping track at first.  Seemed like it might ruin the fun, you know? But I've come around on it.  Keeping tabs helps me wrap my head around the stakes.  Not in like a cutthroat way, just knowing what the score is.  Plus it keeps me from going overboard with my bets.  Which is probably smart for my wallet.  but I totally get if tracking seems like a buzzkill to some people. and  To each their own and all that.  Some folks just like to relax and enjoy without sweating the details.  And that's cool too.

First of all, I want to share what I think about putting money into gambling. I consider the amount I put into gambling account or gambling budget is already gone. I am paying for the entertainment and not for the win. Gambling is for entertainment purposes only and it should stay like that. And if you win something while gambling then it's a bonus that you get for using that platform or being a part of it.
Now the topic about keeping records of winning and losing in gambling. People should always keep records of everything spent in gambling. Trust me, it does not ruin the entertainment, instead it gives a clear mind and helps you take good decisions while gambling.

A gambler should have a strict budget and a strategy. This strategy includes how much money you were going to spend in how many days and how many bets should you place with how much money on each bet. If you have a proper strategy like this, you will have a strict budget and you will never go over it also a discipline mindset which will never become addicted to gambling. In order to do this, we need to keep record of everything. So yeah, in conclusion I want to say that every gambler should keep a record of their winning and losing.

The problem is precisely there, when you enter a record and have registered losses, things can go wrong, because playing under pressure or with the exception that the game you are playing is because you must win, is something that should not be done, always To play first you have to do it calmly without any type of pressure or do anything to recover what you lost, in this order of ideas we are people who will always want to make Profits and we will look for it no matter what, maybe that is Our guideline, look for profits, because if we don't look for winning, we are not going to look for losing, because it doesn't make any kind of sense to do so , so in order not to go too far, we have to have a very different vision of things when we play. In my case I would start making a list or record of my games or my experiences in casinos , but since I am a person who does it initially , but then I get bored or I want to play at my own pace and I can't. Do not do it. because I have to write it down or put it in a record , because things can happen in a very Precise way and sometimes I don't have that patience.

When a person has a lot of losses and wants to Recover in any way , it is the Biggest mistake that can be made in this case because we are the people who have to organize the efforts to make profits, and if we have losses it is difficult to survive in our country, even more When everything is not spent, then in this order of ideas we cannot do anything else but be alert to only lose what we are willing to lose and if what we do is keep that very extensive record of losses and want to recover it, well, I don't dare, I don't even consider it to try it, it would be something very extreme and it is not in my plans, for that reason I always say that as a player you must know your limits and to go beyond there is to have the ability to resist those losses, to The rest I wouldn't venture into doing Something like that , that's what I think.

Gambling records should be able to help you control your gambling activities so that you will know how much money you use in a week or month so that you can allocate sufficient funds for gambling. But you also have to have self-control every time you gamble so you don't exceed the limits you set in a week or month. Having a gambling record actually also helps you refrain from gambling and prevent yourself from becoming addicted to gambling. But some others do not need to have a gambling record because they only use gambling as entertainment and do not exceed the limits. That is actually their goal in gambling so that they do not experience any problems in gambling, such as gambling addiction.

Which seems like a simple task but for a gambler it is a daunting one, for several reasons.
1. Lack of patience - no gambler has the patience to sit and collect that data in the first place.
2. Realization of how much they have lost - in other words, how much they could have saved in the first place.
3. Looking back at their debts - self explainatory, it causes a chill in their chest to see how much they owe others.

Gambling is not an investment. Casino bankroll investing is an investment. But gambler will always gamble and not invest.

What's the need for keeping records of your sales and purchases in your storeroom, no matter how we want to look at it? Keeping records of things is really important, and it's essential as it helps us quickly understand if we are making progress and profit on things that we are putting both effort and resources into.
 
Gambling is no different from other forms of expenses that we make. I know most people think less of it due to the little amount of money that they dedicate to it, but no matter how small the amount is, anything that requires spending needs a proper record.

Even if it's not now, it will definitely help in the future to determine if you are still gambling within the hour limit or if you are spending beyond what your budget allows. So, however you put it, to me, keeping track of our gambling activity is very important.

I don't keep any records of gambling activities once I lose I move on of course there are plenty of gambling opportunities ahead, I also don't record or keep any of my winning bets it's of no use to me, I bet on football matches so there is the tendency that if the two teams would play a rematch I switch over to their past records and statistics to place another bet, I never rely on the record of my previous losses or wins to place another bet because I can't use those records to influence my next betting, while gamblers that kept those records might do so based on the type of betting they are involved in probably those records might influence their next betting well I am here to learn about their own experience.

Unless you're playing a serious game where you absolutely and mathematically can verify that you are getting an advantage over the casino or other players, it feels a little bit pointless to keep a track of wins and losses for gambling. On games like slots, you can simply watch your wallet deplete quite consistently and be sure that the whole game is engineered to clean you out, there is no doubt about that. You just have to remember that every gambling company is in business to make money and they make it from people like you. Even if you do gain short term success or figure out a way to beat them in something like sports betting, they will quickly adapt and stem the losses that they are taking in future.

I think recording the number of losses and wins is very dependent on each individual, as you said if they are very serious in their gambling involvement then maybe they can do this recording, and also on the other hand I see that there are those who record with the aim that if the number of losses is greater then they will slightly reduce their gambling activity or even by putting a smaller amount for the next gamble. Obviously I'm not going to say that this method is useless because everyone has different goals, maybe you say that this is useless, it doesn't matter but for some people maybe this is an effective way for them to know the amount of defeat, or it is used as a benchmark so that when the amount of defeat is greater then they will reduce their activity as I said above.

Honestly, I wouldn't say it's bad if their goal is to get better by any means. Another thing is yes I agree with you that it is indeed a business for casinos and with that means that the purpose of casinos is none other than to benefit from the defeat of gamblers, therefore as we know that the real fact is that you will often lose rather than win, the house will always win because they manage everything. That is why we should not overdo it and gamble for fun.

True, there are ones whose serious and there are ones who doesnt really care and this is why they dont really make out any tracking or tally about on how much they had lost and win in gambling.
Well, it is really just that indeed true that gambling should really be for fun and you should really be spending only on the amount on which you can only afford to lose and never ever consider
to be that spending up big with it. Even if you are really that rich but still financial management would really be always that crucial or much needed.
One thing that you should bare in mind that whenever you do deal with gambling then you should really be doing your very best on not to make yourself get addicted because if you do
then you would be just basically be messing up your life with.

Well, I think this advice is specially poised towards career gamblers - those who takes gambling as their primary source of income - since they are mostly involved in gambling perpetually. For those who gamble, once in a blue moon, I do not think that this information will be so relevant to them.

Before you use yourself as an assessment to the above-mentioned advice, it will be great if you ask yourself whether you are a career gambler you do it just for the sake of catching fun. If it is the latter, I do not think it is necessary to begin to draw spreadsheets of expenses you've invested in the gambling game since you don't do it frequently but only when you feel like doing it and some times, it takes some people months after they had gambled the last time.

Of course, there are certain sequences of falling out of these or those values, and their probabilities. But you should not rely entirely on the records of winners and losers - things can always change at any moment, and things can always go wrong

As I said before and indeed I would not say that the records are completely useless because obviously we cannot conclude all that without looking from various sides first about what their purpose is to see or do such records. If indeed the note is for a benchmark to find out whether the number of their losses is greater than the winnings then the possibility is two, there  are those who don't really care about it and there are also those who make it a lesson and by knowing that then I think they will reduce their gambling activities and if they have at least there is still another option which is to reduce the amount of budget for gambling, nothing but good because it is so that the number of losses does not get bigger.

But basically because of the fact that it always happens more often to lose than win, therefore there is no other choice but you gamble with the intention of seeking pleasure only, it is better and indeed I think with that mindset you will not experience unexpected things because obviously your interest in winning will definitely not be too serious. Honestly, I also don't care how rich you are because the casino will be happier if you are one of the rich  people who always overdo it, the casino will get a big profit from your excessive behavior and always lose. That's why it's better to prevent.                 

Results or outcomes couldn't really be the same from time to time, if we do talk about or mind about having those patterns then we would be definitely wrong because it doesnt exist in the first place.

It would really be that totally random and something that cant be known.There would be no things on this world would be able to alter or would be able to give effect on how lucky you are
on a particular situation or moment on which we know that it would really be that known to be lucky on the time that we are winning which is something that typical.
Making some listing about your winnings and losses then it would really just remove out the real essence of entertainment when you do gamble.

Why? It would really be just making you remind that there's something you do need to follow which it isnt fun at all.
