It’s really hard to recover losses if your main goal in gambling is just to have profit since the house edge will not permit you to win consistently against the house. Human error through emotion is one of the biggest enemy of players that’s why they keep losing. You can lose everything even if you are initially winning with just one moment that will make you tilted during the game.
I personally don’t view my gambling records nor compute my total lose/win since it will will just affect my mind to gamble more instead of just gambling just for fun during free time.
Yes, most gamblers have tried to recover their losses, but they cannot get it easily at all because they have to use more money, which does not guarantee that they will be able to recover their losses. And it is indeed the house that will gain the biggest profits while we gamblers will only experience losses. And even though someone can win a lot, the casino will still take the biggest profits. We should be able to think that we don't need to gamble excessively because that means we have to be prepared if we have to lose even more money.
I don't have a gambling record but I can see the gambling history in my gambling account. If I feel like it's too much, maybe I'll stop gambling this week and not gamble for a few weeks to calm my emotions. That's better because I can divert my mind to other, more useful things.
In fact gambler biggest win is when they can minimize losses by stopping when they start losing because if they continue there will only be losses until what they have is completely gone.
Maybe it will be difficult to stop and accept every defeat that occurs, but we will have even more difficulty if we chase bigger losses and lose even all the valuable things we have such as money or other assets.
Of course, stopping after losing is wise decision and you must do it in the next few days so that you can be calmer and not be emotionally influenced by chasing after the defeat.
Unfortunately, only few gamblers are able to do this because sometimes they are unable to accept the risk of losing.
That is why it is recommended to gamble when in calm atmosphere and with money that can afford to lose.
