Topic: Do you keep a record of winnings and losses in gambling? - page 5. (Read 1035 times)

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.

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.

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 . 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 .

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

                                                        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.

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.
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.

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.

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
