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?
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.

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.
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.I merely recall a few losses on high-odds bets and victories on low-odds wagers.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.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.
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.

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.

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.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.

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.
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

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
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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?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.

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.
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.But to totally record it? nah, I don't think that gamblers will go that far.

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.
