It depends on the people because keeping records of your losses can make you have a good or bad realization which will be dependent on the mindset a certain individual have. Maybe for some, doing such can be helpful because they will realize that there are more important things to spend with rather than using it on playing gambing. But on the other hand, there are types of people who are being triggered to urge on playing more because seeing the record of their losses awakes the beast inside them wanting to keep on trying to play back to be able to win back their losses. There are also people who gets depress or being stressed out seeing those records of losses making them to have regrets that they should not have played gambling at all. There are different ways on how a gambler can cope up to be able to realize whether he will continue to play gambling or just stop. Such ways are dependent on the individual based on his own personality.
