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.

No, im not making any tracks because i do really hate up on trying to look into my loses because i had did this thing in the past but ending up on chasing up my loses specially if i have seen that im in huge negatives.
This is why it would really be better that i wouldnt really be tracking up my spending as long im really that sticking into my gambling budget or allocation then i wont really be minding whether on how much i have lost overall. Actually this one would really be just that depending on someones preference because there are really indeed people do make out that kind of track on which they would act out accordingly if they've seen
that it is really that have huge loses and this is the time that they will really be stopping on doing gambling on which it isnt a bad idea.

Whether you would be tracking or not, it would really be always ideal that you should really know on what you are dealing with and on what are the actions that you would really be needing to do.
You cant really just that make yourself that spending up like a madman and would be messing up in the end of the line.

It only matters if you are playing with money that you cannot afford to lose and you are looking to make money from gambling but if your allocation is not something that will harm your lifestyle or your finances then it's useless to record, a calculation is enough.

If you stick to your budget and don't expect too much from gambling then you're good to go, the only time that I record my gambling activities is to come out with a good strategy to make my experience exciting and hoping to be rewarding.

I've never bothered with notes about bets, maybe I should start, after all I have no idea what my "win ratio" is... it would be more prudent to have everything written down, but I just bet/play without too many worries... I'm a casual gambler, I only bet sometimes (1 or 2 times a week.)... I would like to bet and play more, but I don't have much time.

Recording keeping can be tasking at some point to be that consistent at it for a full year especially. I prefer not to keep records because it won't change anything in the lifestyle of a gambler that lacks internal discipline.

Where there are much losses made, keep records of it and seeing it everyday when he/she gets back to add another recorded loss to the piles of losses, my perception is that it can only gives him hope that he can recover those losses someday as he keeps intensifying his gambling bets.

I know a lot of persons will have a positive mindset about record keeping which I concur to the core to whatever positivity there is, but this just one of many negative aspect of my perspective to gambling record keep from a gambler with a non-disciplined lifestyle.

The reality is that it is plain nonsense to keep track of every session you take if you keep playing luck based games like slot machines and roulette for example.The only games where this can be a good idea is if you play sport bets or poker which can be classified as games where skill is very much relevant.How can this be beneficial?Well for example in sport betting if you keep track of your progress you can see which type of bet is the one causing most losing bets and avoid it,you place a lot of under 2.5 goals bets and you see that more than 80% of such bets are lost ones,this is a clear indication that you should stop immediately playing that type of bet.

No, I don't. Maybe because I am too lazy to do it. What I do not fail to do though is to have a budget and bankroll for my gambling activities.

This is like the monitoring and evaluating in development work. Helps to modify one's behavior, to know what's working and what's not working. What I do though is to check my gambling budget after some period of time to know the rate at which my gambling budget is growing or reducing.

I think it will but most of us are either too undisciplined to do it or we don't just know how to do it.

Yes, of course, particularly in sports betting, it's necessary to determine if we are doing well or not. If we are constantly gambling, we need to track our activity so that if there's something to improve, we can address it. Probably most of us are not keeping a record, but that's understandable as most of us are not too ambitious about being profitable in gambling; most of us are just gambling for fun.

I'm not saying I constantly keep a record, just occasionally when I feel like I have this bankroll that I want to risk and see how it results in profit or loss, just like a business, you know.
