That's one of the bad side of monitoring your records, as you will keep remembering your losses and the amount that you will try to recover,
most of the time, a gambler who knew the amount that he had already lost, got that mindset to try and recover.
Or it could be the other way around? Looking at the record of your total loses might make you realize that maybe gambling is not the way how you want it to be to become rich. One might going to be regretful that if he kept this amount he could've invested it somewhere with less risks, it could've earned profit already.
On contrary, people who pursue his loses and eager to make an attempt in retrieving them by continuosly gambling, may unlikely to succeed but will worsen the accumulated loses instead.
