Topic: Recording gambling activities (Read 1387 times)
Record keeping is a very important thing. This is a must do. I would say that this is important for gambling, but in principle, it is important for many areas of our lives. For example, in trading it is necessary to do this. It is especially important to record your unsuccessful games. Of course, recording the results of games like roulette is pointless, because there are no strategies. But in sports betting this is a vital necessity. This is necessary primarily in order to improve your strategy. Only by collecting statistics on your failures can you somehow improve your strategy.
Something just came up in my mind and I feel it will be good for me to bring it up here because it can benefit some people to make a better decision or adjust gambling habits.
Do you take record of every game played for the year or month or week, then calculate the number of total games that was won and lose. I feel calculating the total amount of lose can help one to adjust gambling habit of playing frequently and also to reduce the amount of money that is spent on gambling. I think when the amount of lose is too much in gambling it is either affecting one financially or turning one to become addictive to gambling.

I can't understand why we have to record the bet which we made. On the maximum gambling site, we can see the bet history. As we can see in the bet history there is no need to make a record of that. And after many a bet if we want to record those it will be a waste of time, nothing else.

Any gambler knows approximately how much money he spends on gambling and how much money he wins without keeping any records. Of course, I used to keep a record of winnings/losses, but then I realized that it doesn't make any sense. In my opinion than to engage in keeping statistics is better to introduce in your gambling experience limitation of funds for gambling. This is more useful for any gambler than keeping statistics.
I couldn't imagine someone doing this especially if you lose, you will never spend time finding where you are wrong but expect to do the same story again.
It can be the first step in identifying the addiction and the associated losses due to gambling. While there are many who are doing this for publishing on youtube or streaming it, regular gamblers should start doing it as well.Once the person goes through the recordings and see the money they could have saved, the attempt to control the addiction will come from within. Outside people will no longer need to bother then about their habits.
But then there are those people who think that changing the method to gamble means that the casino cannot "track" them anymore, which is utter bullshit. Recording and reviewing might increase their chances of gambling more and more.
Recording of gambling activities have to be related to the correction of excessive gambling.
But if a person gambles for fun and can afford to lose couple of hundreds per session, should he also make records and make future corrections? I have said several times that for me gambling is similar to spending. Spending on entertainment. I dont gamble frequently. I consider it as going to a cinema for example. For example I dont remember how much I have spend last time at cinema on tickets or snacks. Even if I do remember it, when next time I go to cinema, I wont focus on that previously I have spend a lot, and now I must take small popcorn box instead of large. If this is for fun, should a person make records and limit himself?

Yes, and those bad or good experiences will be a reference for you to play gambling more carefully and responsibly. If a gambler often loses in playing, then he must think with common sense that in fact winning in gambling is very difficult to get and if he is winning at that time, then immediately thinking about stopping is the best decision.
People who are new to gambling don't understand that if they are winning then they should quit but they play to win more for the joy of winning and thus they lose a good amount of money in the end. Gambling looks very interesting and fun but all the interest is lost when you deal with a multi-amount gamble and you play more to recover it. If you can't stop yourself from gambling, it means that you are addicted to gambling. Even if you cover all your losses, you still can't stop playing because it's an addiction you got used to.While there are positives to gambling, one negative is that when you lose, you look at your past records and feel even sadder. It is good if people start gambling responsibly and carefully after looking at their previous gambling history, but if they don't, there is no point.
A gambler who handles his gambling activities responsibly may not have to bother about recording them. Because there will be no much impacts doing it. Except for the sake of reference. However, when a player finds it hard to record his gambling sessions while experiencing tough times with his games, then he wouldn't recognize his difficulties in gambling. Recording of gambling activities have to be related to the correction of excessive gambling.
It'll refresh in the player's memory whenever he pens down his activities. Only a handful of addicts will be able to control or moderate their compulsive gambling habit after reading through multiple records of losses. Although this helps self examination for all, but addicts hardly keep records of their actions. They're mainly concerned on ways to further their gambling engagements.

To record your gamblings daily, weekly and monthly is not the issue but can you face the mental disorder of the results when you lost enough and later found out. I will prefer not to record them and once I forget them let it be. Because if I gather all the records and she that I have loss enough, I will not be happy. And addicted gamblers would not care about the loss so there will be no adjustment even they see the records. And all what they will like to do is to win their loss and that is where they will chase their loss to lose more. It is better to plan yourself well and play gamble with respect and not with habitual. Once gambling becomes an habit then it is very hard for that gambler to control himself.
ajiz138 Gambling and business record-keeping are not the same.
There are gamblers that will not hesitate to stop gambling when they check their gamble records and they sees that they are the ones losing. They will stop right away and never to gamble for a long time. Keep records is good though, still there are gamblers that can't be satisfied with the results they got from their check, if a gambler is losing from gamble, its probably because of the strategy he is using or luck is not with him. However gamble and business are different things, if you are losing from the business you cam quite it and do another business and same thing also applies to gamble, when you are not winning from gamble its better tk change the prediction pattern or pray for luck. ajiz138 Gambling and business record-keeping are not the same.

I don’t keep track of every single bet, but at the start of the month I will look at my wagering statistics and record in a spreadsheet how much profit or loss I’ve made in the previous month. Looking back, my stats are always trending negative but what I earn through referrals, cashback, and other benefits still makes me profitable. Having these stats is useful because it gives me an idea of how much I can afford to lose.
It is good if you are not stressed about the defeat you experienced in the previous month because the thing to consider is that it would be bad if you were not prepared for the results of the defeat you experienced. Because in this way, of course a person will become stressed and it may also become increasingly difficult to control themselves. Because when they know how much they have lost,the worry is that they will try to bet more and more often to cover or take back what they have lost previously. But yes, if you have good management and can control yourself well, then of course that will be good for your finances too, because you can manage them in the right way.
Do you think keeping record of gambling activity will play a good role to someone's gambling lifestyle?
If it's with a lifestyle, there is a possibility that it can make someone's life better through this matter. Not entirely with gambling but through how we're going to record things that we are. Maybe at work or you can boast of it later on that you're able to track your wins and losses. If that's the case for most of the gamblers that we've got records of our past wins and losses, it means that we're able to have some recording skills and we're not afraid of looking at it as we write it wherever we want to.For me, I think that the best thing to do is to do what you think is necessary for you. If that helps you from your daily life or somehow to your life then just do what you have used to do. Because no one is going to record them for you but only you. But for the side of those that don't record, I don't do that as well. Since there are records history from the casinos like stake, we can easily track it out there and save it for keeps and go back to them later.
This account history is also filterable, so we can easily know how we are doing at a specific period. If not for evaluation, then it should be for other purposes which I much concur with that I do not know.
Record keeping in gambling or any thing that we are doing that involves money is good because it helps to give us an insight in how our money is being spent. Without a record, we might be misusing money without knowing because there is no records to look at. The last record I monitor is how much I used for the week because I check my gambling record weekly. If I have not made any profits for the week, then I will watch how I'm gambling for the next week more carefully so I do not misuse money for two weeks straight. If I have a net lost for two weeks, I might not gamble until I have enough spare money to allocate to gambling without it affecting my other expenses. I know gambling is not a business to give you profits but you should not be losing money always to gambling or you should just stop gambling.
Recording finances is indeed a good thing to do because it is one of the ways of managing money that must be done, but in my opinion, recording the finances allocated to gambling is not necessary because it is predictable that what will be recorded more is the money spent. because with wins and losses of course losses will occur more often, therefore it is impossible for anyone to keep track of finances involving gambling, but the more often they get money from gambling, that is less likely.It's true what you said, as much as possible we must minimize the loss of money in gambling. By not doing it too much is one way to avoid addiction which could have bad impacts in the future. Recording gambling activities is everyone's right, whatever is done of their own free will, but the point is that we must be able to limit the gambling we do, because it will not work to make money by gambling because losses will occur more often. We must remember not to do so. Excessive gambling can harm us.

If you're a responsible gambler there is no need for recording your gambling activities because you're only having fun. And if you actually want to check your gambling activities you also don't need to record anything down. After all, all casino has their bet history where you can access the data of all your gambling activity in that casino.

I have lost already my track for my wins and all of my losses. It's not going to work on me if I get track of them.
Because for sure that upon looking at the stats, they're just going to make me disappointed from having those more losses than wins.
Who's a gambler that has more wins? most of us have got more losses instead and that's why if you want to track them for that purpose, you're free to do that.
Disappointed is all I believe one will only get by tracking their gambling record. It's not easy to look at how much you have wasted in gambling; the amount during your time of playing might appear very small, but if you are to add all the records together, the sum that it will amount to might trigger a little hatred within yourself. Because for sure that upon looking at the stats, they're just going to make me disappointed from having those more losses than wins.
Who's a gambler that has more wins? most of us have got more losses instead and that's why if you want to track them for that purpose, you're free to do that.
On a scale of 1–10, if we are to check how much people spend on gambling and how they actually win, we will have to realise that 8 out of that 10 might be under those who are just feeding the gambling with their losses.
But that's true, it's the most of us that we're spending a lot of money in gambling and you might not able to take it upon doing a tracking of these records of how much we allot money on it.
That's why for me, I have just accepted the fact that I've spent and lost a lot on it. I've won some but the joy that I've got with that was seem to be worth it temporarily. And after realizing everything, you'll get to be frustrated with how's your spending habits through gambling and as well as the results.
