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.

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.

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keeping records because they feel that they already know how much they have deposited and how much they have or have withdrawn, so they don't really need to note everything down one by one.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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!
