Do you think keeping record of gambling activity will play a good role to someone's gambling lifestyle?

When you think of recording, you are already serious about gambling. Therefore, it should affect your lifestyle because when you are serious, you are putting in time and effort in order to win. This is like an experiment on your part: you record and evaluate, and every time you see some mistakes, you try to improve until you achieve your desired goal, which is to win consistently. I believe this record-keeping is most applicable in sports betting, but not in games played by luck like roulette, dice, and other popular games that have a house edge.

We recommend that we record the history of all gambling every month, including sports gambling and slots, dice and others. This step aims to accumulate all expenditure of funds used for gambling, unless you limit gambling funds from the start by allocating a small portion of your income. Recording gambling history is important for manage finances to avoid addiction to gambling. We call this part of the anticipatory avoidance of the influence of gambling, so we added the anticipatory step point in the self-regulation to avoid the influence of gambling.

But make it sure that you wont really be that making yourself that impulsive on the moment that you've seen that you are losing that much. The only issue with this kind of behavior on tallying all the gambling record you do have is that you would really be able to see on how much you have lost. Just like on what others been saying on the earlier page that just make it sure that you wont really be that losing that cool and control
on the moment that you are seeing the total money that you have lost. This is the only issue that you would really be needing to control because at the moment that you have seen yourself having that kind of reaction
then it would be better that you should be having that control and discipline. Then it would really be wise that you should be having that kind of tracking.

It would really be just that common sense that on the moment that you would be finding yourself spending that much on which you are already having that kind of regret
then this is where self control would really be kicking in.

I don't see any benefits it has in keeping records for the games played because you will only be served with a numbers of failed attempts on bets you have played and you will be seeing all these from time to time and gets discouraged that gambling is just a waste of time and money, after realizing for the rate of losses, also, i don't see any positive benefit or serious and interesting implication for doing this, for how long could one keep on compiling the records and on what purpose.

So do I, I don't also see by benefits in keeping records of your winning or loss. It still makes you as a gambler to keep on gambling especially when you are losing, it makes you to gamble more because you might think to gain back your losses. However the best way to stay safe is never to check your gamble records. There are people who can't afford to know their gamble records, mostly the lose records. A responsible gambler don't need to check his records because he's a responsible gambler, only an addicted gambler checks his gamble records and when he's losing more than his winnings, he begins to chase lose.

That can only help a reasonable gambler and not the addicted type but the addicted gambler would look at the record and think of himself to win all the loses one day. But the gambler that is not addicted and have other plans to execute would look at it and encouraged himself to stop gambling because for him it is because of the gambling he might have not completed most of his is plans so the best way to do to achieve his goals is to minimize his gambling habit or stopped it.

And as a strategy, it might not work for all because everyone has different mindset to gamble.

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.

Some might see it as good something, but to me, that's the worst thing for me to get myself involved in. Aside from being time-consuming, it's also painful to realise after checking your last-year record of how much you have spent in gambling and how much was realised, and it's nothing compared, which, if you are to take the fun part aside, you can say that it was a very bad decision you have made over the past year as the money wagered in all games put together could have been put to good use in another thing.

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.

Going by your suggestion it could be a very good and helpful idea but its really sad that the disadvantage of this can be in the fact that it may become a reason some people would want to get addicted, they would want to chase their losses having realize how much they have lost over a very short period of time and for those who has got little or no control in their gambling activities, they end up chasing losses and turn out addicted at the end of the day. For those who are really disciplined enough, it will help them a whole lot both in their risk management, their ability to be able to control how much they get to spend over a period of time gambling and you can be sure they are a not doin much more than the can handle and possibly spot some mistakes if thereby any at any point such that they will be able to get to get a better approach that will help them eliminate such mistakes and not allow it happen again. Even in trading and other works of life its always a good thing to making sure you are journaling to be able to make sure you are you keep a track record which can always be refrenced in the near future for the purpose it will be serving.

It won't have any impact even if you record and calculate your losses, because when you become a gambling addict you will just continue betting because you don't care about the results you lose. After all, on the gambling platform there is also your gambling history,so you can also control and record it there. But after all, even though the gambling platform has your betting history, but in reality you will still gamble without any plans to stop. But indeed, because you have experience in betting, then ofcourse you will have strategies and tactics that you believe are good for yourself. So, to change your own betting style is your own experience, and not about recording losses or anything like that.

This shows how you didn’t understand how the recording works. Recording your gambling progress makes you organized and properly manage the risk you are taking. Most of the people that became addicted are those not looking with their expenses and just aiming for chase loss.

With a record in hard, it can give you an idea on what amount you are losing that will give you control for your next gambling since you are already on losing more money.

I do recording until now to track my PnL. I usually gamble more when I’m near on breakeven while slow down when I’m in profit or terrible lose. This records gives me an idea on the frequency of my gambling.

I don't know if a gambler who records changes his gambling style? Because I myself do not do this, if you want to see more data then in the casino also actually we can see our gambling activities from deposits/withdrawals and winning/losing bets.

So I don't need to do that and don't need to bother manually doing it, I'm not a calculating person in gambling because this is clearly for fun.
I'm just limiting and trying to manage my bankroll so that's better than your record keeping.

I do not know some people can take gambling seriously. No need to record losses before you will know how much you spend if you have bankroll management. Something like having records of my winnings, losses and of the amount I use to gamble will let me think that I am taking gambling seriously. If I have a business that is generating money for me, I can be serious and have this kind of record but in gambling, I can not have it because it does not even make any sense and it can not help me manage my bankroll on gambling.

I think I saw other topics having the same concern but yes I do have a record of my gambling expenses weekly. One reason is of course, to track the amounts I've been engaging and to avoid greed and bigger loss. There are times we would be not able to control ourselves in gambling because of our emotions but that's a normal thing and is common to many of us. However, if you're aware of how things are going with your gambling finances, at least it would help you decide whether to continue or take a pause already than to push things to be in accordance with your own will.

There is a possibility that recording carried out in gambling activities will create discipline in gamblers. but maybe some gamblers won't do that. including me also not keeping records, whether it be from winnings or money that I have deposited into the casino.
I only allocate weekly for gambling. So whether I win or lose, I won't deposit again if the allocation I deposited has run out. There is no record of how much I have deposited into the casino during the gambling I have done.
not sure if it helps gamblers who implement their record-keeping.

It should be strengthening one's discipline however, reality is that such thing is dependent with oneself. If you tend to cross your borderlines even once, then expect that you'd do it more often. If you are tracking everything and not following the boundaries then you are just wasting your time.

To answer your question, yes, I do record all my activity in gambling or all I do in gambling. I have created my own spread sheet that will fit me, and I've created such a complex spread sheet that is recording my gambling activities. Well, I do this because I want to keep track of whether the capital I put into gambling is earning or not. For example, I have a tab in my spread sheet for the month of January, so I have allocated funds for my gambling for the whole month, and for every bet, whether I lose or win, I record it so that I can see if I'm nearing losing all the funds I have or if I already doubled my capital. It will be a good practice to do because a gambler will be aware of its own gambling activity and to also prevent too much gambling and too much losses.

So anyway, I applied as a merit source :)

Degenerate gamblers are never the one who plan and map out their activities or record them to keep track of their wins/losses. They come in for the quick dopamine rush and leave once they bust to find more money to bust again.

Because as soon as they start charting their losses (because profits are rare), they start to understand how horribly they have been losing money from a long time and how much they could have saved by not gambling. Because this hurts their ego, they will never attempt to do it unless they want to change their habits.

However many youtubers who are showing of casinos in their channel do track their games.

It is on a case-to-case basis. I have a friend who monitors everything regarding finances, what he spends, and how long he spends his time on casinos.
And there are others who allocate what they spend in casinos in terms of money and time, and they follow that strictly so they do not need to be recorded; they already know what to expect, and its result.
I'm more of the latter; I follow my budget and my time, and I don't have to worry anymore, and I don't have to bother anymore.

I don't record my gambling activity because I can control myself not to playing gambling too often. If I want to playing gambling, I will use some money that I can afford to lose. I will not use too much money to playing gambling because I know that will make me lose that money.

If you thinks recording your gambling activity can helps you to control your gambling habit, you can try it and see what is the result for you. But you needs to have discipline to record your gambling activity every time you finish playing gambling. You must stick to your plan and not use too much money to control your gambling habit.

If you can control yourself in gambling, you will lose your money. That will effects to your financial and reduce your saving in your bank account.

Recording your activities in everything, not necessary during gambling is really helpful!

You will know if you're actually a couch potato, spend a lot time in social medias, spend to much money for unnecessary thing, wasting so much time for overthinking etc etc.

In gambling, you will know if you're either earn or loss, gamble too long or not, and spend too much money or not. It just... most people really hate being consistent and they want free life, so they will not able to track their activities day by day.

At first, I thought Op would be discussing about video recording our gambling activity. Saw a gambler who claimed to have used this method to find out the right die to choose in a dice rotating game. Aside this, holding a record of our gambling activity would help a gambler benefit hugely by giving him a view of his past and how he's been wagering money. It's just as close as writing down our expenses on an exercise book. Don't know how this works in limiting excessive spending, but it did work when I tried. Although not in gambling. Similarly a gambler would use this to critically self examine himself with a proven track record of his gambling activities.
