Of course, accounting will be a good practice for those who identify gambling as a way to make money. If a person regularly analyzes winnings and losses, making calculations of profits or losses, then this should be a good signal for him whether it is worth continuing to gamble. In addition, an indicator will be the calculation of the amount he "earns," whether the amount really suits him or if it just trifles. However, I am sure that such indicators will vary from month to month. But if the statistics are still unprofitable, then it would be fair to abandon games and stop considering them as "earnings”.
For those people who play for fun and understand that games are just a moment of luck and nothing more, no accounting is needed.

Do you think keeping record of gambling activity will play a good role to someone's gambling lifestyle?
It does. It will always be essential if you keep track of your gambling activities as well as your gambling expenditures for you to be fully aware how far you have been gambling in terms of financial status. Especially for the married man, it is important to get a record of your gambling expenses to avoid getting short with all the necessary expenses in the household.
It is not that we are trying to avoid ourselves from getting addicted as our primary concern in doing this, but it is basically to control our gambling expenses.
No matter how many hours you spend on gambling each week, as long as your expenditures are within the reach, I think you're always gonna be fine.
Yes, it is very helpful, but unfortunately it is rare for gamblers to take notes every time they gamble. Someone who considers gambling as a game of fun does not need to record every loss they experience because if someone considers gambling as a game of fun they will not exceed the limit which causes their finances to be disrupted and the gambling they play will remain safe but if someone considers gambling as a place to make money they must record the losses they experience in order to manage their gambling well and prevent experiencing large losses.
People need to be disciplined if they want to record their gambling, but it is rare to find people who are truly disciplined in doing this, even though this actually has a big impact on financial management and we can control our money so we don't gamble excessively. Sometimes people find it difficult to control their finances because they are not aware of the money they have lost, which causes them to experience unstoppable losses because they do not see how much time they spend gambling.

It's good to track your bets regularly or even the amount you spend on gambling because it's easy for gamblers to break their limit and overspend while playing.Even for casual gamblers, it's worth having one and it doesn't take much effort to get started since you can search for templates.
One of the few downsides I can recall is that it gets tedious if you're the kind of gambler who intensely gambles.
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 we decide to do such thing then we may decide not to gamble anymore because we all know that there is more lose than wining in gambling, meaning if we properly understand the meaning of keeping those record, it will kill our moral or causes us emotional problem. so it's better off not to practice such thing than starting up .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.

although I can no deny the fact that such strategy may help some people, but in my case I find it not worthy of trying at all. the aspect I dislike about this strategy, is that the more you try to check out your previous games the more you lose interest in gambling because there will be more lose which the amount would have been used for other important things. but the strategy is also good in the sense that it will spice you up to take correction from the past mistakes and organise a more accurate prediction tips than before.

It can turn out to be good or bad, mostly depending on the personality and the reaction the gambler has to losses, because in the end, it is very likely a summary of one's gambling activity in a month or a week would show losses. According to those losses the gambler can either decide to use less money and reduce their chances of winning big,.but also curving those losses. On the other hand, a bad reaction aster seeing a streak of losses on a spreadsheet could unleash a very negative feeling or urge to get all that money back from the casino. The result would be inevitably a spiral down further economical instability.
This is a topic which has been touched in other threads and my opinion continues to be the same: it is better to let go losses and move on, otherwise, we are in danger of trying to chase after them, either at slow or fast pace.
Recording activities will make a gambler to entertain fear in them, because when keep going back to track your records on amount you had lost and spent on gambling you might be forced to stop gambling especially those who are applying good gambling practice but for those who are known to be addicted gamblers may see it as strength to propel them to recover what they hard already lost, it makes them revived their energy to keep putting pressure to gambling after seeing that they had lost series of money to that gambling site or to any gambling platform.

Personally, I like the idea of keeping record of gambling activity, losses and winnings. It helps you to find how much money you are losing or making from it, so you can adjust your short, medium and long term goals based on it regards your finances. To lose control over your gambling's history prevents you from managing your funds efficiently and realistically.I think nobody wants to lose track of their money in a point they don't have a single penny on their pockets anymore, because they don't know or don't remember where it has gone... I believe to record expenses is important not only regards gambling activity, but regards every other areas of your personal life. That is how you can organize your finances, define budgets accurately, so you can have a chance to make your portfolio grow along the years.

In a way I keep a tally of my wins and losses every time I gamble, which as of late isn't that often any more. I do this in adjacent to this system I have imposed upon myself to make sure that my losses are kept in check and my wins are kept safe, so it's not like I record them on a book and keep track of them religiously per se, more so mental counting, "Oh I won 3 times already? Guess I should call it a day then" or "3 losses already? That's a quitter right there" 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 keep telling people in this forum about this system I have that I'm not even gonna talk more about it anymore, just gonna gloss over that all because it technically counts as "keeping records of your games" lol.

In gambling, it is rare and almost impossible that you win more times than you loose except you are cheating, so what is the point in trying to keep a record of your gambling activities when you know what to expect. You will mostly see that you have lost more times than you have won.
One must not keep record to control their gambling habit and as a responsible gambler what they can also applies is to mark out days, weeks or month to be gambling let say if one can decides to gamble twice per week or four times per month with a channelled amount, like a fixed amount to be used for gambling for those durations given to themselves with this method you can easily know much you are spending for gambling or not spending much, although sometimes one could be touched to stake higher than the amount set aside for the gamble but whomever that does that is not applying responsible gambling practice.

A complete record of previous wins and losses could have a negative impact on me personally, if it show that I wins often then it could make me careless because I am too confident when place another bet.
And if there are more losses on the record, it could make me chase the previous losses.
For me, Money Management when gambling is more important than keeping the record of our gambling activity.
And it will somewhat put pressure on you mentally if you will see how big losses is already, so for me it really doesn't make sense to log everything. Just have it in mind an estimate of your win or losses and that's it. You don't need to get overzealous with your gambling activity that even at sleep you have to think whether you have put everything right or you're just cheating yourself because you don't want to see your losses.
Right, you might also have that perceptive to chase and try to recoup your losses because you have it in record. And this could really turn ugly and bad for you if you this. So for me, I will not spend and wasting time doing this practice.
The idea that OP thinks is no different from a CCTV record where when you see someone else enter your house and rob you when you are sleeping at night, you will feel stressed because the person is gone. other household items.
That means it can and does cause stress when the OP actually does that, so therefore, it's better not to see how much money has been lost gambling. It's okay that you just know that you lose a lot gambling and you have an idea about the amount rather than seeing the amount, which is too big.
I don't record at all and that's why I feel that every penny spent on gambling should just be accepted to go away. There is no need for me to track them all.
As before I gamble, I've already accepted the fate of it so either win or lose, they all not going to my records.

I generally keep a record of how much I've spent, and that's about it. For gambling specifically I just record the amount I deposit to the casino and write it off as a loss already. It moves depending on how much was leftover during my last session so I guess I also probably should record that. Idk if it helped or not since I've been doing it always, but I suppose it has made managing money a lot easier since everything is always written out. Have a hard time arranging things if I don't. 
I think it is beneficial to keep a record of all games played and their outcomes. Having clear records allows a person to be conscious of the frequency of their gambling activity and the amount of money they either lose or gain from the games.
Keeping records like these helps people put together a jigsaw puzzle of their gambling activities. When losses loom large, if they come up as pictures in this jigsaw puzzle, it could be a sign to reconsider and probably change how gambling is done. Viewing financial transactions can be addictive and lead to a pathological situation, so making proper adjustments based on the images can help avoid financial overload and addiction susceptibility.
In my view, chronicling gambling exploits may pave the way for crafting effective strategies or prudent judgment calls. Knowing discernible patterns of victory and defeat could tip one off on when to draw the line or dial down the stakes. All in all, I opine that jotting down details of gambling escapades is a sagacious measure; it can assist one in steering clear of losing their hold on the situation while still indulging in such leisure pursuits with equilibrium.

If you are really just that spending on the amount on what you can afford to lose then you wont really be that someone whose that stressful despite of the loses you do have
because you had already that accepted your fate already on which this one is really that a good behavior rather than on trying to peek with those loses you do have.
Do you think keeping record of gambling activity will play a good role to someone's gambling lifestyle?
I do have my monitoring before when I'm still new to gambling and I did this for the purpose of helping myself to be more responsible but sooner or later I was not able to update it anymore since I already know how to handle my emotion and I already know how to be more responsible. I believe this can be a big help if you're still a beginner gambler.
