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.
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.
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.
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. Because for sure that upon looking at the stats, they're just going to make me disappointed from having those more losses than wins.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
I like the idea of doing personal appraisals for things like gambling that can have huge impact on the finances of an individual. If this is taken seriously, I think it will help the gambler to follow the part of moderation which is highly needed to protect the bankroll. But the challenge is that it is not always easy to do and not many gamblers will find any use of the data so gotten. Another problem is that this might discourage some gamblers from concentrating in gambling especially when they notice that their loss is far higher than the wins.
So do you record your gambling activities? Such data might help a person to make decision if he can afford to continue and how much he might be able to bet. But I find it wrong, as this is sort of going from the end. A person must first make a decision how much he can spend on gambling, instead of making a decision how much more he can bet, as this might look like chasing loss. I dont quite understand how can it impact on finances actually. If a person wants to gamble, he will do it anyway. But evaluating finances from «I have lost/gambled already for this amount, now I can not or can gamble for that amount more» is a red flag from my point of view.
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.

Partly, you have a good point with your opinion but that doesn't fit to most gamblers not all people can adopt with your mindset. We can't motivate a person by just saying don't let emotion affect the game plan, yes it really will affect by most weak hearted individuals. Their aim is always winnings, because they always thought gambling could profit them all the time, that's why frustrations always happens just because they're ambitious and got a wrong perspectives. It's hard for a gambler to become smarter enough, maybe if they'll mature enough and experience should be the most important aspects.
What ever it is, recording of gambling activity would do for the rich same it'll do for the low roller. Nothing differentiates these players when it comes to strategical moves. Money is the only unique thing about these two types of players. Hence, if a low roller learns to track his gambling activity, he'll get the following benefits; documentation, change in wagering habit, if.high, and references. Gamblers who keep records feel a bit more accountable to how much has left them for gambling reasons. This can minimize the rate a player involves in the gambling. Players who don't keep record may not have the hardcopy of their gambling activities. Casinos also shows on dashboard how much a player has spent gambling.
If you are mostly betting online, it is now quite easy to track your spending habits as you can already see it in your deposit history. Now, if you want to know that you are getting something out of it, you can check the withdrawal history if your betting activities are really worth your time.
Recording may be good for others but if you feel you don't have the time for it, you can always observe how much you are allocating to your gambling activities per week or per month. And how much is going back. If you feel you are spending much without getting most of it, better contemplate if you still want to live with this kind of lifestyle.
Yes, it is quite easy to guess a gambler who often experiences defeat in his life will look 180° changed, initially the family looks very harmonious, the needs in the family are met or fine and the gambler looks so happy but on the contrary when the gambler often loses in gambling the changes will be very clear in the family and in himself, namely life problems that include financial lines and life problems that include relationships between family members that are getting worse hit by many problems.
And back again according to the title above, recording gambling activities can be seen how we see a gambler who is betting at a casino whether he has been able to set limits or allocate funds to be used when gambling according to the abilities of the gambler, usually gamblers will allocate their funds when they have left their money for daily needs and only use the remaining money if they want to gamble because maybe he is just for fun so he doesn't really expect to win there.
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.

No, I don’t think that this can in any way affect the gambler’s behavior. It seems to me quite easy to roughly imagine how much you spend on gambling per day/week and project it over the year. Anyone can do this easily, but the problem is that people are comfortable with such spending. By the way, the same can be done with spending on street coffee, beer in a bar or junk food - if you look at the scale of the year, the waste turns out to be quite significant. But did this stop anyone from spending so much?
Well obviously same thing can be applied to anything, and tracking your spending or overspending in a day / week / month or a year to get it under control is recommended by every financial expert out there. Even most banks in here offer to track where the user's money is going monthly or yearly in their apps, if users give their consent. Like this:
Not everyone have the gift to roughly imagining how much they are spending. I am not even sure how many people struggle on that, but given how many people are probably on the spectrum and have problems with concepts like time, i reckon it's significant amount of people. Different people need different tools,
On the other hand trusting that everyone could do that roughly estimate in their head never works for some people, but just does the opposite, because just winging it is how some people get in trouble with money in the first place.
If someone is immensively rich and have money to burn for anything or if they indeed can handle stuff like this in their heads, then they obviously need any tools for that. Rest of us do, saying that they don't is ableism.

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?Though in reality, gamblers losses in the long run, at least the majority as it didn't say all. still it depends on the game it self, for example, poker, you can gamble with this game, right? And do you believe that there are successful gamblers in poker?
