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 never knew gambling had turned a business or career opportunity that people now take inventory of themselves and ascertain where to improve on and if we're doing well.

Personally, I attach little or no strings to gambling activities, and I don't see the need to bother myself with my performance in it since I gamble with amounts I can loose.

I see taking inventory of gambling activities for the purpose of improvement as an addiction seeker, when you keep improving on your i involvements might lead to more dedication to the cause and more trouble for the gamble in the long run.

There is nothing really wrong if a gambler records the amounts he enters into gambling from the money he loses and the money he wins. Now, to your question, if there is frustration when there are records, my answer to that is that the gambler may feel a sense of failure; he will always see the mistake he made in gambling because he will see the amount of money he lost gambling. especially if it is a large amount.

Of course, he will think and feel regret that he should have used the large amount that he lost for something more important. So, for me, I also think that it is not important if we don't record what we do in gambling. It is probably enough that we know and learn from what we did wrong in gambling.

It is not as if gamblers have too much of a choice, since all the casinos in which I have ever gambled keep records of every single one of the bets you have made over the years and just a little bit of curiosity is needed for a person to see those records, in my opinion if a person looks at those numbers and they begin to experiment regret then it is obvious they have wagered too much money over the years, I say this because I constantly monitor those numbers and I am fine with what I see.

Casinois a business and every record of gamblers win and losses will be kept because it is computerized for them to have prove of past bets of wins and losses. In case there is any problem the government wi ask for those records and if they cannot provide it, it shows that they are not transparent enough to their customers or government. In our own gambling lives, I don't think that it is relevant. What is important is that we should only gamble with an amount of the money that we can afford to lose, so that it will not affect our mentality a d emotions.

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.

YES in business, record-keeping is important because the company must calculate profits and expenses if it does not do this, its finances can be chaotic.

Records in gambling will not have any impact, with you being disciplined and responsible it is more than enough imo, because surely defeat will see it in these records, will this not add more frustration?

Just have more money then play for fun, if there is no money then don't force this will make you addicted because it is too forceful.

Yes its true that there's nothing wrong on having those records for them to have that good track into their gambling just for them to make out some actions on the moment that they've seen that they are already at into their limit on which its really that good but only into those people who are really that good when it comes to self control. YOu would really be the ones who would really be dictating on what are the things that you should really be doing and not really just that making yourself that too careless on making decisions specially on playing even more just because you do tend to chase up your loses.

For me then it wont really be that much necessary on having those tracks because you had already that seen those things on the site itself and it would really be possibly
that makes you impulsive on the time that you would really be making yourself chasing up those loses or trying on doing so. This is why you should
really be careful with this kind of situation.

Quote from: Litzki1990 on June 23, 2024, 10:31:07 PM

In terms of business, a yearly profit or loss is calculated by calculating how much I sold, how much I bought, how much product is left, and I think it should be calculated in the same way in gambling. Like how many gambles I played in a month, how many results went in my favor, how many went against me, how many matches I won, how much profit, how many losses, how much loss. If we can calculate in this way then at the end of every month we will have a clear idea whether we are moving in the right direction or in the wrong direction in gambling. I think most gamblers do not calculate this but it is very important for every gambler.

So are you indirectly saying we should treat gambling the same way we treat our other businesses? The same method we use to know if the business is making profit or not, and if yes, how about if the one is not making any good profit from gambling based on the records he has gathered over the month?

What will you suggest the person do? Should he change his betting pattern or should he stop gambling completely? I'm just asking because, from your explanation, it's obvious you want gambling to be treated the same way we treat our business, which means we should also consider it as a means of generating income.

There is nothing completely wrong keeping in check of our gambling activities where taken such tracks of our gambling activities doesn't make it seems to be treated the same way we treats out other businesses but rather for me it shows how much of our activities in terms of time, energy and resources we are allocating the gambling and if possibly we are incurring more losses than winning there is a need to take a break or probably change strategy and possibly quite if gambling has become problematic to you, this is what I see as an essential for keeping records or tracks or our gambling activities. Yeah definitely we are going to have different opinions as regards to this.

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.

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.

Our memory is not so bad that it is necessary to record gambling activities, especially when things involve money, our memory of gains and losses, it is quite deeply imprinted in the feeling and it is impossible to forget how this activity took place but following this reasoning, I feel even more fearful about recording the history of gambling when I believe that quite a few people have been deeply psychologically haunted when their emotions were not cherished in gambling. Recording our fears will only prevent us from being able to escape the past, we should not immerse ourselves in that activity too much.

Everyone's memory has a different measure, if a gambler has a high and strong memory in recording, then the previous experience that has occurred will be a better reference for the future, but if the gambler has a low memory in recording experiences, then this will only be underestimated because he cannot learn or find a good solution to the experience from before.

That's the point, if the gamblers can't accept all the loss they made in gambling, it means they bet too bigger. If they only gamble what they can afford to lose, they will not disappointed when they see the result.

Quote from: bakasabo on June 27, 2024, 06:15:58 AM

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.

If they lose, the amount they loss would be bigger and they will think twice to make money through gambling. Except if they're stupid, so they don't have brain to think and making wise decision.

I only track the amount that I deposit and withdrawn to all of my gambling activities, I am tracking it in both Fiat and crypto at the time that I moved it.
I just want to see how much I win or lose, and also compare the value of crypto that I moved at that time to the current value.

So, what's the result? are you in profit or loss?

The record carried out can also be a reminder that too much has been spent on gambling. and they should be able to regret why they wasted large amounts of money and they can stop.
but what happens is not like that, I'm sure more gamblers don't consider recording all their expenses in gambling. gamblers will always have money to allocate for gambling, there is no need to record everything because it probably won't have much of an impact.

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.
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.

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.
