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. 
Topic: Recording gambling activities - page 8. (Read 1416 times)
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.

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.
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.

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.

At any accounts, being consistent in gambling would always lost you more that winning and that is why we always have to bet with affordable amount so that when it gets lost we don't have to go over and recount all of it and regret at its end.
If gamblers can stipulate a gambling budget based on their incomes, there would definitely be no need for keep historical gambling records unless it has become to affect your savings.
And if it is just about loosing more than winning but not affecting our incomes and savings, then the need for review would only be valid to just keep that memory and not to readjust our gambling habits hence we are comfortable anr not addicted to gambling.

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.

I do not think it is necessary to do this by hand anymore, any casino will have your gambling history available to you from the moment you began gambling there, so the only thing you need to do is to take a look and see if there is any deviation from your plans, and if there is, you need to try to remember what caused you to lose more money that day, see if this is a common occurrence and take the necessary actions to prevent this from happening again.

If you gamble for one year and you never take records of games you bet on, you don't need anyone to tell you that you are making losses or profits, you will know how far you are doing because if you are betting and you are winning, your profits will be increasing and so your account balance but if you are losing your games, your balance will continue to remain zero, that should tell you straight away that you are not making money from and gambling and should take a break.
However, if you want to be professional about your gambling tracks,you can take a snapshot of your deposit in every month from your initial deposit. Most gamblers makes deposit to casino mostly to know their initial bankroll, this method is helpful and you can make deposit during the beginning of the month and withdrawal the end of the month, you will know if you have been making progress or just dashing money to casino.
I get why some folks wanna track all their gambling stats down to the penny. But me? I just play a little here and there to unwind and pass the time. The sites I use make it easy enough to peek at my wins and losses if Im curious. But keeping some elaborate spreadsheet feels like it would suck the fun right outta things. Im no accountant, I just wanna kick back and see where my luck takes me. Maybe I end up a few bucks ahead, maybe a few behind and at the end of the day if I was entertained, I call it a win.

This is an easy stats to keep considering the fact that, gambling sites have got history on all your gambling activities.

It could also help in planning your gambling budget as, this is a necessity for those who are more drawn to gambling. It keeps you in check and guides against gambling addiction.

The revenge minded gambler will swear with the last drop of his blood that he must recover everything the casino has stolen from him, it will even make the person increase his pressure and chase it with all tactics and finances available, this will lead to terrible addiction and bigger funds loss. I am in this category, so I don't dare calculate what I loose, I calculate more what I would gain.
This helped me solve my addiction issues when it was going out of hand. I calculated what I would gain if I quitted gambling for a while with my monthly paycheck. It encouraged me to do better and quit gambling for almost three years before returning a more disciplined gambler till date. I know so well that If I had dared calculated my losses, I would've been totally destroyed by gambling addiction by now.
If the recording is done consistently and indeed the recording also includes an evaluation of wins and losses,
it may be able to help gamblers manage their games and bets so that they are not far from the limits that have been made.
But all this time I have personally never recorded my game.
I only play when I am in need of entertainment and do not keep track of how much I spend, because there is very little allocation used for gambling.
But it's a good idea to keep a record of your gambling activity, to find out how you perform when making bets and some gambling games.
That will be quite important data for your gambling.

Do you think keeping record of gambling activity will play a good role to someone's gambling lifestyle?
I don't calculate how frequently I gamble many times because I think it is u necessary. What u very important to me is to make sure I calculate how frequently I win bets and my losses because this is what has been making me to check the list and know I had a clean win for the previous months.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.

This very important because it enable me to analyze the way I gamble and see whether I am going to try my luck to tye next month or have to take a rest since too much gambling has it own problem which might not be known until we get to the outcome. This helps me a lot to stay safe and stay careful if I am gambling too much or I have to relinquish from gambling for the next month.
Do you think keeping record of gambling activity will play a good role to someone's gambling lifestyle?
yes, It can, I mean, there are people who would definitely feel more cautious, more aware and in control of their gambling lifestyle if they kept a record of everything they do especially the money they put out when they are gambling, which could lead to a healthier gambling lifestyle. there are also people who will think that keeping a record of their gambling activity is unnecessary but still be able to have a healthy gambling lifestyle. 
Moral: if it helps you, continue doing it; if it adds stress or makes you overthink in gambling, maybe it's better to take it more easily. We should be here for the fun, not to add more stress in our already stressful lives.
Yep, doing such things can bring more focus towards to our gambling activities than what's supposed to be that can even leads to a kind of addiction so better not to do such unless you're thinking that you're spending too much money then track the expenses to find out the truth apart from that keeping it simple is the best strategy cause we don't have any control over the results of betting.Well that's the most important thing is to maintain control over the bets that are made, don't be too aggressively, however we must have our own responsibilities, even I don't think that the record of gambling activities can have a positive impact on us.

No, I do not record my game activity but the site I am playing with do the task. It also shows the total wagered, total deposits, and amount withdrawn. So I do not jot down all the details of my gambling activities, I just look for my gambling activity history and I can easily calculate if I am winning or not and for how much.

Having records is indeed a help for gamblers who are into responsible gambling. But I do not think it will be of any help to people who are not into moderating their gambling activities.

Yes, I believe that keeping track of your games can have a very good effect on your results, and, accordingly, on your life in general. I think a very important point can be to take into account the days when you make losing bets. For example, every Wednesday after training you make not very good bets that incur losses. Because you get very tired and brain efficiency drops and you may not make the most successful bet. This is just an example. This may be different for everyone. Therefore, accounting is very necessary if a person gambles often and for him it is not just entertainment

Though this theory may sound cool, but I'm one of those who think that keeping records of your gambling lost or winning have nothing to do with your financial capability of being either buoyant or not, inasmuch as you are able to abide by the rules of always gambling what you can afford to lose, as it's only when a person fails to adhere to gambling what he can always lose that he is likely to go bankrupt, as keeping records only helps you to know how much you were able to spend through out the entire year, and know how much won and lost. Moreover, a person can still not keep records and yet be a reasonable gamble, hence, this is not a tool which could be considered, but a tool for measuring ones personal statistical monthly/yearly gambling records.

Money loves to be counted. In any activity in which money is involved, it is necessary to keep records in order to have an idea of current and annual profits and losses. Gambling is no exception, because in this type of activity everything revolves around money. Gambling without money is impossible.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'm not sure that most gamblers will do this (keep track of gambling expenses). Only a few who treat this as work and not momentary entertainment are able to keep such records of expenses and income. Moreover, over the course of a year or several years. I believe that most will not accept this into their gambler arsenal.
I’m not sure that this "will play a good role to someone's gambling lifestyle", but it will make us realize the amounts that are spent on gambling. Well, or, the amounts that are won (net profit).
