I believe is generally advisable for players to keep track of their gambling activities. This is especially true for those who frequently gamble with large sums of money. Documentation can serve as both a record of wins and losses and proof of income and expenses related to gambling. It can help individuals maintain better control over their finances and make informed decisions about their gambling habits

I completely agree with you. Keeping detailed records of your gambling activities is crucial for several reasons.
First and foremost, tracking wins and losses helps you have a clear understanding of your overall financial situation and gambling habits. It allows you to see patterns, identify any potential issues with gambling, and make informed decisions about your future gambling activities.
Secondly, having documentation of your wins and losses can be beneficial for tax purposes. In many countries, gambling winnings are taxable, and you may need to report them to the tax authorities. Keeping accurate records can help you accurately report your income and losses, ensuring that you comply with tax laws.
Additionally, documenting your gambling activities can help you stay organized and accountable. By tracking your wins and losses, you can set realistic financial goals, budget effectively, and avoid chasing losses. It also provides a sense of transparency and can help you avoid falling into financial trouble.
Overall, keeping track of your gambling activities is a responsible and prudent practice that can help you maintain control over your finances and make more informed decisions about your gambling behavior.

This lack of thorough documentation can hinder their ability to analyze their gambling habits, assess profitability, and make informed decisions about future play. Effective record-keeping is important for understanding one's performance and managing a bankroll, but it remains uncommon among the broader gambling population.
Most recreational casino players tend to focus more on their wins and often don't keep a detailed record of their losses. In contrast, more experienced and serious players, especially those who consider themselves professionals, are more likely to meticulously track both their wins and losses to gain valuable insights, refine their strategies, and make informed decisions.
Absolutely, keeping track of gambling activities is essential, especially for those who wager significant amounts. Documenting wins, losses, and related expenses not only helps individuals maintain better control over their finances but also provides valuable insights into their gambling habits.
