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.

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, 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.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? 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.

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.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.

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.

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.
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.
