Keeping A Record Of Your Losses Will Make You Realize To Stop Gambling

[MWesterweele]

No matter how you keep a record of your losses if you can't control your urge of doing gambling, it will still not benefit you. The first thing that you have to do upon entering gambling is to set up your limits. You should know when to stop and when to continue. Allocating enough funds for gambling would be an effective strategy to control yourself.

Based on my experience, losing in gambling is part of the game but when losing a lot it make me realize about how much the money I spend on it every time I lose. Thats why It make me think on how can I stop the urge to gamble then I decide to make tracker all my loses and win then everytime I looked at it I realize all the mistake and wrong decision I made. And because of keeping a record right now I dont make any random decision, I also think before act.

After seeing that you could have bought a new motorbike or buy an expensive watch on all your losses that you have computed.

I have seen someone who makes hundreds of thousands of dollars in gambling and I have also seen how someone sold his house for gambling..  just recording losses will not make a person stop gambling because when he makes a profit from gambling the next day, that person will forget the losses from gambling.  stop gambling need extra energy and need awareness in yourself.

Someone who has gambled for a long time will not be easy to stop just because they realize the record of losses, because for me personally keeping a record of losses and also the victory is not something important. When someone has been gambling every day then we know they are gambling addicts, basically they do not even have a strong desire to stop, because the main step that must be done for them to stop gambling is a strong desire and determination and not about a record of loss.

Gambling addiction can't stop someone from gambling even if they record their losses. What they need is a realization of how much money they have lost although it may not so effective but with a proper guidance and support from one of his family or friends, I think someone can be saved by doing this.

It's a interesting way of view your losses, but if you're thinking this way, maybe it's better to stop gambling right now

I only gamble for fun, so it doesn't matter, I'll only play the amount I'm afford to lose, it's like a hobby, some people spends a lot of money with games, pieces, collections etc
And I'm in total control of my gambling behavior

You should not only keep a record of your losses but also your wins! Don't look on it just from one side. You coud buy a bike with your lost money but what if you could buy 2 bikes with your wins?

You took a risk and blew your money but there are people who won and you can read their stories online. There will always be more losers in gambling not because casinos are rigged but because people don't know when to stop and don't know how to manage their money.

You see, I have tried this technique in the past with no fruitful results, and it is countereffective many times because once you see how much you have lost, you would want to gamble more to recover them back that's how it all works, because you would stop for a moment or so thinking about your loss and then when the urge will come again, the same resistance will act as a fuel to further gamble xD

You had it on point, I don't think we really need a loss tracker because you unconsciously want to win back all the losses or just a break even. I you want to stop gambling try to change some of your habits, even miniscule habits can help like brushingyour teeth with the opposite hand that you are comfortable with, you will in turn develop some self-discipline and that will surely affect your urge to gamble. Add visual cues to unconsciously remind you of doing something.

Well it would surely make you regret gambling.
The last 2 account that I used back in 2018 and 2019 have a huge negative net profit on it,
Just computing those two account already makes me regret gambling my money.

[Janation]

That could work but I think that could build frutrations more, meaning it can be also dangerous.

I think you should do this starting now so you will be able to track the losses you are doing, listing the losses in the past might be a problem. Most of the gamblers that are already addicted to gambling is already aware and depressed, listing them suddenly might trigger more frustrations and will affect themselves making their depression deteriorate.

Well I think that would be an effective way to finally stop playing because of the guilt and regrets on spending your money in gambling instead of using it for other important things.

However if we lose our money in gambling sometimes we like to forget about that moment because remembering our losses is quite depressing too. So taking note how much we lost in a particular game cant help us to move on, but of course it depends on every gambler since we have different way to deal with losses.

A big "NO" for me. If you are a regular gambler, it's not making sense to do this. It will just build regrets and frustrations. What should I focus is on how to maintain winnings. That's the more important thing to do rather than to think about all your losses.

If a person can't withstand all of the amount losses while doing gambling, to the point that they will list it just to think that they should have already bought expensive things if they didn't do gambling, then definitely, they shouldn't gamble the moment they feel frustrated on every loss. Why still continue after that.

To realize when to stop gambling is not about listing all losses. Honestly, it's not effective after all since it will just urge a person to bring back and recover those losses.

The important thing to know is that you know where your money is going.

For example, Money Tracking Applications.

• There would be categories like Food, Utilities, Transportation, etc.
• You could allot a budget for those categories
• It would help you understand where your money is going and if it's still within your budget

Sharing that analogy, you could now say that you are really at your fault knowing that it's either you went overboard your budget or not.

There's nothing you could get good upon thinking that "You could've had this material thing if you didn't gamble" mindset but instead, know that there are risks involved in what you are doing and upon doing so, you accept that risk and there should be no regrets.

If you are determined you are an addict, this could help you understand the comparison with what you could have and what you couldn't. It's a matter of will.

Keeping a record of your losses will not help much to stop gambling because you only see the loss in that record, and that can make you want to recover the losses. You don't need to have a record of stopping gambling, but when you want to stop, you should have the power to quit gambling right away, and you don't need to say much about your plan to stop gambling. Stop gambling will be difficult, especially for people who are already playing gambling for a long time because they feel that playing gambling is like a routine activity that they still do every day or every week.

          Based on some reviews and other peoples perspective, keeping track of your losses may lead to both positive and negative impact. As for example there is a tendency that you would like to earn your losses through gamble again. On the other hand you can also choose to decide whether to continue or stop overspending on loss.

In my own opinion, even you keep all the records of your losses it wouldn't still make a gambler to stop in gambling because it won't bother them even it cost a new motorbike and an expensive watch. The only thing would really stop a gambler from gambling is if someone from his relatives or loved ones will tell him that he should stop or limit himself from gambling.

[Question123]

Before I keep recording or computing my losses in gambling but I realize that it's not helpful to me because you why it turn me to trigger to play more and spend more money that can result more losses.

So now I did not compute any losses any amount I lost and it helps me because I contented of what I win now.

[mbakruroh]

I keep track all crypto activity to know my progress, besides that from there we also can see in which point we should stop and playing again. I never imagine saving can bring bike/ house because currency also have volatility and create flow money circulation is the right answer, even I must use gambling platform. This time, economy is our big problem and should have solution. If my investment fails, gambling is the recover plan.

No matter how you keep a record of your losses if you can't control your urge of doing gambling, it will still not benefit you.

This is partially true because if you keep a record of your losses you will quickly analyse that you are loosing too much and let me remind you what Einstein said " He called Compound interest the eighth wonder of the world" similarly I feel recurring losses in gambling is as big as that because you loose some extra money daily and if you add them up you could have saved a lot.

The first thing that you have to do upon entering gambling is to set up your limits. You should know when to stop and when to continue. Allocating enough funds for gambling would be an effective strategy to control yourself.

But, even setting limits is letting you loose money, right? If you keep a track of records you will be able to stop gambling much quickly. If you don't know how much you are loosing you won't find a reason to stop gambling.

That's probably not gonna work.
Keeping a record will only make you more aggressive to get back those losses because you have the feeling of regret and your mind will push you to play more. Instead of realizing that you should stop when you see how much money you lose, it will give the opposite effect.

And that will also gives you desperation everytime seeing the amount you’ve lost in your gambling activities,why not just let the game go and try mo make a agreement to yourself that there will be a certain amount that will be allocated in betting?So at least there will be no other regret in each time you play either win or lose?

This may sound hard to do but it will help you enhanced your self control and managing gambling habits,from profiteering to fun and happiness .

I definitely agreed on the last part because that same thought i have in mind,stop or learn to limit ng spending is what must we decide.
