I do keep track of my expenditure in gambling and no I do not consider this as an investment, this is part of my therapy to cure my addiction, to look at it and regret what I spent.

If you are not profitable in gambling then why do you continue doing it?
As it is not an investment it is not an activity that will give you money. You should better keep that money and buy small portions of bitcoin instead of giving them to casinos.

Keeping track means you are timely monitoring it, not that you look at your past performance and regret on it, you should regret timely, otherwise you'll spend all your money and you'll only give up because you don't have money to gamble anymore, which I think tracking does not serve the purpose.

For me, I track because I want to make a timely decision, so I can stop or still continue.

clearly in the Bold part mate and it is not easy to deny the call of betting when you are already addicted and this must be respected.

It is easy for us to say things because we are not addicted but for them?this is a Burden and mostly things that they don't ready intended to be.

I hope you don't have a passion for recovering your losses in gambling after you check your file because if you do that, I think that can attract you to come and play another game. I think you don't have to look at your file for the therapy because you can use the other material to cure your addiction. After all, that can trigger your sad feeling.

I do not consider gambling as an investment, therefore I do not track gambling that I have done.

Well, therefore there is no reason for tracking down all of your costs. On my own, No, --I don't do any spreadsheets nor do calculus. When I do online betting I first consider my salary I will separate it and use it no matter if I win or lose. I just do online gambling for fun and during my spare time. But I will make sure that if I lose I won't feel bad because it's my choice. Perhaps, others find online gambling as a way for their living. Hope they always win. Indeed.

If youre doing sports then tracking wont be a bad idea but if you are just dicing then its nonsense.Gambling is for fun and allocating
a small portion of your money is a suggested thing to be done as always.It isnt needed for you to track if you are losing or winning
as long you do able to get the entertainment you seek and thats how it counts but majority cant really easily satisfy themselves
thats why they do play even more and mess up everything.

to relieving stress from my work. Besides, the funds I used for gambling have already provided me with the budget, around 15% of my
salary. So when the funds run out, I automatically stop gambling.

Yeah, the same I do as you do. When searching for an entertainment it's always comes with a price. Investment is different from paying your happiness and this is the only time you can enjoy your time after those stressful week of work. And that's right, always bring the money that you can afford to lose and don't even think about of chasing your losses because you are not playing to make some money but to enjoy. Wink

I think keeping a record in gambling is useless because there are some gamblers who don't bother themselves, even they already lost thousands of dollars. But if a person would like to track his record in gambling, it will be easier if he only bring the same amount of profit when he is about to gamble.

I think it is not very useful if you really do not think too much about the money you use, but it's good when you keep all the history of gambling with the nominal that you use so you can find out the total profit and loss you have ever made from gambling.

It depends on what you are playing because there are situations which you would need to tally up to track if you do profit or not specially when are doing sports betting but if we do play luck based ones then i dont see a point for you to track everything because we know that losses would be more into these kind of games thats why its pointless on doing such act.Its true that it will just trigger you out on to play more when you do saw that you are lose up that much and tending to play just to break even which is really a bad idea.So its not really that suggested specially on gambling aspect.

do you registerhow much you separate for gambling?
do you see it as an investment?

if yes, how do you track it?
simples spreadsheets, physical notebooks or maybe some different way?

When betting on sports, you can make notes in the spreadsheet on your computer... But that's if you're betting on different sites...
If you bet on one site, you can always see your statistics there! Wink

Actually keeping the record of each bet will be a crazy idea and it can cause psychologically-based illusions. Instead of manging the big data, monitoring the incoming and outgoing transactions will paint a picture for calculating the profit or loss. In the end, it depends on personal management preferences.

I guess that can make some stress every time we check the record. We can have the feeling to get that money back to us, and we might try to recover the loss by playing more in the next days. Maybe that will depend on what reason people for playing gambling in making the record. If they also make an analyzing record to see how good the result, then maybe the file will be necessary since they want to create a new strategy that can work for them.

For me personally keeping track of my expenditure in gambling is pretty useless, you will only get frustration and regret when you see what you are spendinding and I also find your post ridiculous thinking that gambling is an investment, investment in my opinion is something that you are putting something with the expectation that there is a return benefit. On the other hand gambling is not an investment unless you are owner, co-owner, or investor in a gambling business, it puts you in the consumer side, you are more of a livestock rather than a farmer, I advise that we all shouldn't advocate gambling as an investment it destroys lives (the gambling).

Why do you think it is useless to keep track of how much money you are spending on gambling? If you are frustrated with the numbers you are seeing then what it is wrong is the amount of money you are spending on gambling and not on the fact that you are trying to keep records of it, the idea behind it is simple, we do not have an unlimited amount of money and if you want to maximize what you get out of your money then you need to know where all of your money is going, that way you can make a better use of it and over the long term this will have very positive effects over your life.

If you are gambling with the full purpose of having fun, it's not necessary to track your record, besides, when you gambling, you only risk money at that certain time, and you'll start with a fresh bankroll again the next time you gamble.

That's what people think, it's the basic, but if you go further, you'll see that there are people as a gambler are making money with gambling,
They called what they are doing, investing in gambling.

Actually I don't track anything on gambling, I am not separating my money that I will spend on gambling and in other things because I am not that so addicted on gambling, I only play once or twice a week, I just wanna play when I was bored, that's it, I just wanna kill my boredom. So I know that I wouldn't use so much my money. Even though I bring all of my money while gambling, for sure I wouldn't spend it all because I am that person that don't want to lose all of my money so if I am losing the game, I just quit. I am not like some other gamblers that if they are losing the game, they won't stop, they will trigger their selves to play more so they could get back all the money that have lost by them.

While it is impressive that you are able to carry all of your money with you and not gamble with it in my opinion it is better to not tempt fate, I have seen too many cases of people that after receiving their pay they went to the casino and despite my warnings this was a bad idea they still went to the casino and at the end of the night they had lost all their money, you just need a short lapse in your judgement for this to happen, as such even if your self-control is impressive it is better if you keep your gambling money separated from the rest of your money and you never bring that money to the casino.

For Poker I suggest you using a tracker like Pokertracker or Holdem Manager. With these programs it is possible to track your loss/win and also show some stats of your opponent. But caution: Not every poker platform allows these trackers, because they give users an incredible advantage.
