Recording your activities in everything, not necessary during gambling is really helpful!
You will know if you're actually a couch potato, spend a lot time in social medias, spend to much money for unnecessary thing, wasting so much time for overthinking etc etc.
In gambling, you will know if you're either earn or loss, gamble too long or not, and spend too much money or not. It just... most people really hate being consistent and they want free life, so they will not able to track their activities day by day.

Do you think keeping record of gambling activity will play a good role to someone's gambling lifestyle?
While you record your gambling activities you can try to stream it and maybe there's some profit for you in that. If it turns out to be a good thing for you it will play a good role in your gambling lifestyle. If it comes just to recording yourself I think that only if you record yourself playing poker can be meaningful. You can look at the hands from a different perspective, analyze some important moments, and all that can improve your poker skills.
I don't see the point of recording yourself while playing lucky-based games, you can keep track of your gambling activities using a spreadsheet. And that is good if you wish better control over your bankroll and the time you spend gambling. That is a good thing for some people for sure, but I am not one of them. When I wish to have some fun gambling I will just gamble and have fun.
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.

- Well, that's a good idea, op, and as far as I can see, you'll be able to monitor the losses and winnings that come in and out of you when you do that. And through that monitoring,
I also think you will know when you should stop when you are winning or losing when you play gambling.
That's okay for me; approve that to me, and it's good that we can adopt that as gamblers in this field of cryptocurrency business too. And we can also train ourselves to
control our gambling activities.

I'm playing to kill time and have fun so I don't see the point of doing this.Do you think keeping record of gambling activity will play a good role to someone's gambling lifestyle?
Well, IMO it's not good to have a record or keep a track of your gambling activity. Because certainly you'll see that you have more losses than winnings and that can make you regret everything and so it will be hard to move on. But anyway, it still depend on the gambler, since we have different way of thinking and if doing this would be beneficial for you, then so be it.

In my opinion, knowing about the statistics that a person is having when they play, can help the person a little to see when they are not performing well and try to improve, but this should not be seen as something in which the person looks at the statistics. and you realize that you are losing a lot, so you should put in more money to recover your losses, because that is what has happened to many people, they look at the statistics and when they notice that they have a lot more losses in relation to their wins, then they think about putting in more money to recover losses, this is a serious mistake. In my case, I always play for fun, so I don't watch my statistics. I probably have a lot more losses than wins, this week alone I had 2 losing streaks, but for me that's not a problem. game for fun

Actually, it’s not really a bad idea if you wish to record your gambling activities, but some people will still end up getting addicted to gambling even if they record their gambling activities, because they won’t really make use of it, so I will say that I don’t think it’s really necessary to record a gambling activity before knowing if you lose often or winning. Right from when you are gambling, if you are losing often, then you are going to know, so it’s left for you to control your gambling activity. Anyone who claims they don’t know if they are gambling more is just deceiving themselves, but it might be useful to some people.

This has been discussed here few times already and yes, knowing what and where you spend will definitely give you an idea of what to do and not, but I don't think we need to track any of these data manually because casinos have stats page which shows overall winnings/losses or even certain time period on some so that is more than enough for a casino player and for sport bettor then it may be needed to segregate their winnings if they gamble on a platform where casino and sport betting available.
I was going to say something similar. As far as I remember, a few weeks ago the same question was posed by another member.
I agree with you that tracking every single bet is not something I do myself, but some people find it useful to feel more confident and make better decisions.
Moral: if it helps you, continue doing it; if it adds stress or makes you overthink in gambling, maybe it's better to take it more easily. We should be here for the fun, not to add more stress in our already stressful lives.

Most websites have stats in which you can easily check how much you've won and how much you've lost!
Betfair sportsbook has some really nice reports, you can check on no matter what period you've bet, and shows you the amount bet, the amount won, the returns or the losses as well as the number of bets, you can even sort them.
But rather than those what people should check would be probably how much their balances are at the end of a period, when you start losing and putting more and more and more it's a bad sign!
If gambling is for fun then there is no need for such record keeping and calculating 
This is how people run into problems, they say it's fun, it doesn't matter but at the same time they stop checking how much it goes in there and soon they find out they've lost a fortune on "fun" thinking it was juts a couple of hundreds.

But if you have seen gambling as a source of income then you can do all that to guide you. However, who survives with gambling as source of income?
Well to calculate gambling tickets and its outcome is good for a guide to check excesses to avoid being an addict for those who are interested to stop but that involves strong emotional capacity to redirect yourself but it won't matter if a gambler calculates all that yet can't control the rate of addiction.

Casino has a stats page which does this for you for easy track on your gambling activities. Before I do records of my gambling expenses since I want to control the money I’m spending but I stop doing this manually due to redundancy of work since casino provide this data already.
This is proven helpful since you can reflect based on your stats in gambling. Playing without a basis record will surely brought you to messy gambling spending that will result to addiction.

I think most gambling platforms nowadays have some sort of recording our every activities, specially in sports betting. However, in some cases like you play luck based games like slots or roulette and others, I'm not sure how it is recorded. And from what I see, it's just -/+ and then how much money you won/lost. But in any case, or maybe it is just me, I don't recorded my gambling activities.
It might be good though, but for me it might just complicated things for you. Just play what you can afford to lose, and if you win some money then good and keep it or as what others do, buy something out of it and not just go back to gambling again as you might lose everything including your capital.
I don't do that because it is not important to me. This is because I gamble for fun and I don't regret my losses since I have being entertained already. It is just as if you are asking me to take record of the money that I give to people for charity which does not affect me financially.
However, I always set a gamble budget when I get paid for my gambling activities, so I already know how much it will be in 12 months time. Money used in gambling should not be counted as loss because it is an amount that you even if it get missing you don't care. There is no gambler that will use only $100 to gamble throughout the year, even if he is winning, a time will come that he will lose all of it.
After all it is quite complicated if you have to write it down I don't have time to do that and lazy too because gambling is an activity that must be in control of our finances, we can't be something that is considered big if we know we can control gambling, and yes gambling is a place of entertainment why should it be like there are financial reports, losing wins and others, anyway at Stake we have a report on how much money we bet every month without us making it ourselves.

This possibility only applies to those who do not have a gambling budget and is only intended for those who make money in gambling so that they need to see how much money is won and how much money is spent so that they will see the difference between winning and losing on their gambling activities and think that whether it is profitable or not if gambling is applied in a profit-seeking plan, one month to one year.
I did this before but I got lazy at doing it maybe because of the frustration that I had been losing a lot of my sports bets recently.
Will it be helpful? Yes, it is. But it requires discipline that we will keep on recording every result that we will have no matter what the outcome is. There will be times that we will get bored at doing it and we just want to play the game and enjoy it and it's probably going to happen in the long run.
For those who are starting their gambling activities, especially in the sports region, I would recommend doing this because it can help out to analyze how much we are losing or winning and somehow we will be able to answer ourselves on where the money came from or went.

Do you think keeping record of gambling activity will play a good role to someone's gambling lifestyle?
I never write it down, because the thing that I definitely get is a lot of losses on my gambling activities, I also don't worry about the lifestyle of gambling because I have a gambling budget that regularly today works very disciplined so I can see the conclusion of how much money I might spend in one month or one year in gambling because I always use a financial budget for gambling.

But in terms of wins and losses I don't write it down because it's quite complicated and I'm too lazy to write it down, and what is meant by victory here like what I don't understand too, if it's victory when I withdraw money from the casino maybe only a little, but the victory of playing is not bad and then I play again until I lose and don't withdraw and can it be called a victory or not?
I think the thread about gambling activity records has been asked before last year. --- Do you keep a record of winnings and losses in gambling?
Again, I don't keep records of my gambling income and expenditure activities, if I did it would be a shock to me because I would definitely lose more money than I win, it would also be a mental hit that you are not prepared to lose a lot of money when you see the records.
It's just like running water, there's no need to look at the record because it will have a little bad impact or for me there's no use at all.

There is no reason for me to record all my gambling activity, so I dont do it but maybe I will do it if I have a good reason for it.
What would be a good reason for me? Maybe something if I'm a streamer or gambling content creator so I need to record my gambling activity as I have to do it to make money.
If your main purpose is just to track your statistic, you can simply taking a note anytime you do your gambling session.
For me, tracking our own statistic can be a double edged sword.
One side it can be used for us as a reminder but on the other side, it may tempt us to chase our losses.

Nah I don’t, occasionally I even go through my sport bet history and delete most of the tickets until it’s left with small.
I don’t see any reason to be keeping tabs on what I know I do for fun - if it was something that was meant to bring food to my table consistently then I would be more willing to go through the stress of taking notes or keeping records of my wins and losses and also figuring out how to minimize losses but since it’s purely for fun and after all I don’t deposit significant amounts into my account so it would be a waste of time keeping note.
But for some casinos, they actually have wins and lose tabs for slots games or some casino games it tells you how many games you have won and how many you have lost - although they don’t tell you the amount you have won just the number of games you have lost.
Do you think keeping record of gambling activity will play a good role to someone's gambling lifestyle?
No it is not making any sense. Or maybe as for me. I gamble for fun and not for business. All I care more about is my gambling budget which I have recently reduced to 2% of my weekly income. Calculating things like that is even a work for me and I do not have time for something like that. But generally speaking it is not necessary. Jump to:
