es sense. It wont hurt if a gambler try to start kerping their records, right? It's not a big deal, really. Give it a shot for a month or even longer and then decide if it's worth continuing. I did it with my transactions and it actually helped me stay organized. But hey if you believe you've got your limits under control and don't need it, that's totally fine. Keeping records doesn't define whether you're a good or bad gambler. For irresponsible gamblers, not keeping track can lead to problems. So, it's just a simple tool to help you stay on top of things so you can know yourself better on how you manage. No pressure, just a suggestion to make things a bit smoother for you
That's right, these records are optional because this is not actually a requirement to be a good gambler. Depends on each person. If it is needed for money management, of course it will make it easier to record his cash flows. However, having records can have an negative impact on psychological for some, let's say, when you see big amounts of losses from gambling, what will you do? If it doesn't threaten him to break his limit and can make him stop gamble, of course that's no problem. What is worrying is, that the emotion of seeing a large margin of loss makes him gamble beyond the limit.
