Topic: Recording gambling activities (Read 1019 times)
We can look on this from different angle - those who record gambling activities, might realize how much they have already lost, and their wish to play back that amount might grow stronger. It will be something that spurs them to continue, to try to win. A number that will often pulsate in their mind and remind to gamble. A reminder that will alarm them to always have money for gambling.

Op this is complete waste of time why should a gambler sit down to calculate the amount of game played in a month or year. It's seem as though you are calculating to get back at you loss, because after making your calculations you are likely to arrive at a conclusion that you have lost more than your win, and making such calculation for a year, this might leave you heart broken. I don't gamble much but if I want to I might spend more than an hour depending on how luck hits me with my small stakes. There is no need to access such data when you gamble with small stakes and for fun, except you give room for greed and irresponsible gambling then you should be bordered about how much you have wasted and make Amendments to your addiction.
Maybe by write his lose or wins in the file can explain him about how much money he already used to playing gambling. That file can also helps him to calculate how much lose and wins he already got so he can start to reduce his money to prevents the big lose.He must accepts his lose and not trying to gets his lost money by keeps playing gambling more than usual. He will not have a big chance to gets his money back instead will lose more money. But some people will not wants to write their gambling activity in a file because they thinks that's not important. I also not makes a file to record my gambling activity because I don't playing gambling too often and only use small money. If we only use gambling for have fun and only playing gambling occasionally, we don't have to record our gambling activity.
Do you think keeping record of gambling activity will play a good role to someone's gambling lifestyle?
One thing is certain thy everything we do has both the advantage and as well as the disadvantages but regardless, we all hope that the advantages should always outweigh the disadvantages and I’m now using myself as a case study as to how I was able to cut down on my gambling activities and it has really helped me so much because there was a time I had a reasonable win in my local currency and it seems that was the last major win back then and I had to take some time off to calculate my losses as compared to my winnings and it seems I was in the winning side and continued gambling not until I was losing badly against the casino and had to take a break and cut down on my gambling until I made another great win and ever since then, I’ve always tried my best to stay profitable against the casino and the moment I’m on a win even if it’s $10 against the casino, I even try to take a break and when I’m $10 in loss I also try to take a break and this principle has helped me stay in balance in the gambling industry.
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.

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.
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.
that's true, after all the gambling that is done is definitely more often the case of losing money rather than making money, of course by recording the gambling activities they do of course they will see how much money they have lost gambling, while the money made in gambling will not be much, of course This will make them disappointed because more frequent losses will make them annoyed, but maybe if they spontaneously realize the losses that have occurred they can stop gambling, but if they don't care about the many losses that have occurred they will continue to gamble again.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.
It cannot be hidden that there will definitely be more losses than wins, therefore I don't think there is a need to record gambling activities unless the person is very strict with finances or expenses. However, for those who are strict with their financial expenses, I don't think they will gamble often because it will only waste their money for nothing.
Doing this could help nothing aside from causing disappointment or frustration to the gambler. If we are in a business this is necessary to track where it is going but in gambling, we are just tracking how much we lose which is absolutely some kind of wasting our time and the result is just getting mad. That is a crazy reason for this and I can't imagine someone making this for that seek in the end they only find out that she/he is losing millions while just winning hundreds.
That's one downside of recording everything. You will be frustrated when you see how much the losses are but the positive side is when you see those you can also decide if you want to continue or not. No records means you may forget about your other losses which could also mean that you will keep on gambling thinking you have not yet lost a lot of money. Well, gamblers have different points of view when it comes to their gambling habit. Some just like to live by the day and do not care if they win or lose while other like this kind of strategy of recording things especially if they want to make a living out of it.
Keeping records has been the best reminder to minimize excessive gambling. It helps the player to recall his losses and puts him on a level of thought that'll change how he wagers money. The disappointing aspect of this strategy is not much. It's actually a nice practice for people to scan through themselves how much have been lost within a range of period. I don't think the losses will come as a surprise when written or recorded on a sheet. The player already have gone through the losses when he did on the casino machine. During recording he'll only reflect on his reaction when such money got lost. This time of self examination will go a long way in helping the gambler think of his gambling habit.

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.
Taking record of gambling activities is not even the major thing one must think about as crucial, many of lost their mindset because of gambling too much. Our gambling activities can really help us to watch and stay careful about gambling, giving us the sense of adjusting so we don't fall too quick to gambling especially when we might not get any outcome as far as possible. One also need to record all the wins we have been making and the losses too because this is what is going to make us give account on how much we are spending in gambling and how much we are also earning or losing at the same time.
Knowing how much you have lost and that which you have made from gambling is something we would consider very important because it may actually be very instrumental to helping us know how to help you stay responsible gambling but it wouldn't be of enough help if we get to keep up with it so much such that we end up want to chase loss especially when we see that our losses are exceeding our profits then it will turn out a big problem because to everyone can be bale to handle that long enough before addiction eventually sets in as gambler and we all know hoe much gambling addiction can be damaging.

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.

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.
It depends on how the gambler can keep up with this activity. As it will consume time recording, most of the time, this task becomes tedious to the person, and so he can only do this at the beginning of his mission. But later on, he won't keep up with this task. So better look for much sustainable approach. That you believe will truly help you in your gambling journey such as allocating weekly budget and stick to it.
And as you've said about allocating weekly budget, there's still a need for you to remember to how much it should be done. With that, I guess it will force you to do record of your budget being allotted there. If it's coming from your salary then you have to slash that out and put it in record. Otherwise, you can do however you want and you're free to gamble and enjoy it without having the need to think of how much you're allotting on it.

For which that you'll do everything and keep the details provided and in paper so whenever there's a need to backtrack, you have got what it takes. The sense of recording will not be seen the effect of it immediately but in times that you need to look back, there it goes and you will thank yourself that you have developed it through gambling in some other activities that you might do.

If someone has been gambling for a long time (at least a year) and still intends to maintain this habit, without making records, I think he will get into trouble, if not he is already in. The records must include the number of bets (approximately) and the size of the bet amounts compared to the number/amounts of wins, which will also indicate the number/percentage of losses. This follows financial management, even if losses are greater than profits, because it gives the gambler a comprehensive view of the movement of his gambling activity.
It is unfortunate to admit that few people do this, and I am almost certain that none of the gambling addicts dared to do so for fear of feeling more shame in front of themselves.
Nobody likes doing math. But knowing where your money goes is a must. Whether its poker or picking stocks, if you're losing, you gotta know how much. Its a wake-up call, a reality check. It keeps you honest. It keeps you from getting in over your head.
Some people like to throw a few bucks around for fun. Nothing wrong with that. Weekends, after work, set a limit, have some fun. But thats the key word: limit. Thats where your family comes in. They'll tell you straight if you're going overboard.
Remember, you're only gambling with what you can afford to lose. Thats the golden rule. You're not betting the rent money or your kid's college fund. You're respecting yourself, your family, and your wallet. Thats what I call being responsible. Thats how you gamble smart and keep it fun.
I think it depends on the nature of the gambler and how they take gambling. If a person is gambling just for entertainment and to have some fun, they don't need to keep track of anything because such gamblers would generally have a fixed budget that they would use and have nothing more than that to spend on their gambling activities, even if they don't have a fixed budget, they know when they need to stop.Some people like to throw a few bucks around for fun.

On a contrary, if a gambler is gambling for profits, they tend to spend more money than they start gambling with because they usually get lost in the game and get carried away after losing and try to recover their losses by chasing them, they need to have a count of how much they are spending on each gambling session because they will need to have a look after the month or the year ends so that they realize what they have been doing.

Yes!!!
Writing down bets made is very important in sports betting for any serious bettor. Writing down relevant information such as the teams or athletes involved, the odds, the amount bet, the type of bet, the date and time of the bet, among other pertinent details is already an exaggeration, but believe me... the more data you have, the better it will be to develop your future strategies.
By doing this, you can monitor your performance, analyze your results and identify patterns that worked or others that did not. In other words, by reviewing your notes, you can identify errors or flaws in your strategies and then discard what makes you lose money, improve your betting skills and enhance your decision-making in what works for you.
Not to mention, of course, financial control, because if you keep a detailed record of how much you bet and what the result was, you will be able to manage your bankroll and avoid impulsive or overly risky bets.
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.
All of us have more loss than our wins therefore it'll be hard for me to start to track my losses, I don't want anything that is going to affect me when I think of the money that I'm losing. I can track my victorys but not my losses. If I track them then I'll stop gambling as it'll look like I don't know what I should be using my money to do but I enjoy gambling. I do it for the entrainment and it makes me happy. If I notice that I'm over gambling, I'll just stop for something.
If I track my wins it will make me to know when I'm in profits and it give me some motivation to continue playing. I already know that I'm going to lose when I'm gambling but the times that I'm going to win, I don't know and can't tell as gambling is unpredictable but when we lose they're predicted before the games ends. I'll not stop anybody from recording what they're doing but I'll do mine when winning.
