Did gambling cause you to have difficulty in sleeping as a gambler?

[South Park]

Luckily I have never lost sleep over gambling. I've always gambled within my means and kept my bets semi-low. If you're having trouble with gambling and losing sleep over your losses it's time to take a step back and re-evaluate your addiction. Please, if you're spending money you can't afford to lose, get some help or counseling for your gambling.

Lucky for you mate. Frankly speaking, this was my very first time to engaged in such act of self inflected gambling addition. I have seen many addict's and their end results; this has been my fears of not getting addicted while I gamble but was caught unaware in the act of gambling that caused me #30,000. As you have rightly said, I need to checkmate myself in order to avoid future occurrence.

You seem to be very self-aware of your actions which is not something that you see from those that got some problems with their gambling, just make sure this mistake does not happen again because as we you state these are difficult times since now we are dealing with having to quarantine ourselves in our homes and we do not know what it could happen in the future.

I wasn't myself for almost 4-6 days but right now am healthier than before and if giving another chance to gamble I will do wonderfully well beyond human recognition.

Most of my times now  are for me to look after the family and to carryout my forum posting targets. Also, I have chosen many courses to participate in during this stay at home policy.  Currently have gotten Blockchain expert certification and have moved into other projects just to acquire the needed knowledge for my hustling.

It is nice to see that you are already moving forward, after all there is nothing you can do to recover that money so you did the right thing by accepting your losses unlike many people that try to recover the money they lost and end up losing more money at the end.

Losing is one of those things in gambling and that should not push out of gambling except if you are not a real Gambler. I have had such experience before now though it is not easy particularly when the money involved doesn't belong to you.

[casperBGD]

gambling should be for fun only, for a better interest and to enjoy when watching sports, you should never gamble more that you can handle, and you will not have difficulties in you sleep, maybe you will dream regarding interesting matches that you won or did not won in last minute, but never difficulties, it should be fun, chances to live or get rich with gambling are really small, but there is a lot of fun attached to gambling with small amounts of money

But if someone is having difficulty sleeping, I think he needs to learn to use gambling as a fun activity, so he doesn't think about the loss that he already got in gambling. If he cannot do that, he will always think about losing, and that can make him difficult to sleep because only with sleeping will make him get a fresh mind and body.

The best option should have been to stay off gambling for some time rather than your option of playing more as a fun. One can only play gambling as a fun if and only you are not using your hard earned money and at the same time you are making profit in playing gambling and the other way.

This has affected me and caused me a sleepless night because the said money wasn't for me but the entire family for upkeep during this trial moment. I am regretting my loss because the remaining members of the family aren't aware of this loss.

This is where the problem is coming from, you used money that wasn't meant for gambling to gamble and now you can't get over the fact you have lost that money. You should thank your stars you didn't have more funds on you as that would had tempted you to use it in trying to recover your loss which will only end in more losses.

Although the act you display is associated with gambling addict I won't say you're one yet but you have to be cautious because assuming you're not an addict you're getting there with such behavior of yours. Always allocate funds to be used for your bets that's the best way to checkmate overspending or using funds that aren't meant for gambling to gamble.

You are right, that's the problem with people when they have excess or money on hand they will use it to gamble even though it's for their family, it only means that you don't have self-control and definitely will cause you sleep difficulty. Too much stressed or depression will cause you to have sleep issues because of the losses. Unhealthy gambling is harmful in many ways, from mental, emotional to physical health. People with this kind of addiction either minor or major may experience a lot of difficulties on your body.

Better try to have self-control, limitations and focus on your purpose. Don't just waste money on gambling because even though it will double your money remember it would make your money gone just a snap.

as far as i remember that there was i time that i did not sleep because i won lots of Cards in my Local gambling.

i remember when i was still in college that i love to bet in our local card game for basketball,and one night almost all of the cards owner knocks in our door and to my surprise i won on all of them and did not expect that.

i never forget that night that i go to school in the morning with no sleep at all.

In some manners of not sleeping well because of your interest to gamble back and try to check if luck is on your side. There are people who manage to play and enjoy and after that they leave the house without any worries but there are also people who can't stand the urge of playing again and again even its already risking more money behind.

But as humans, everyone has their own untold stories which caused me not to get the right amount of sleep for couple of years in the past.

You're right, we have different stories and those stories are the reasons we're string today and also be able to control our emotions. Your case wasn't like mine from the look of thing, but haven taken the right decision to give  up will actually make.your gambling life look different.

It seem that, what you actually gambled was far bigger than what I lost, more also, ensure you gamble with limited funds and if possible entrust your gambling funds to a friend of yours who also gamble, with this you can have a limit.

Leaving gambling will be the best option for him so he can avoid thinking about gambling, and he can try to sleep well. Yes, we never use our hard-earned money for playing gambling because that money is for our lives, and to buy our daily needs. Maybe he needs to use the other money from the different sources so his daily needs will not be disturbed.

[Yamifoud]

I have in bad times before but not really I was too depressed that I can't sleep because of thinking it all through the night. I know that some gamblers are affected by their losses but we should never make this thing a big deal for us. We have to move on, accept your losses...things like this always happen in gambling. That is why if we are planning to gamble, we better prepared also the consequences that we might get and losing is a part of it. If we are only thinking about winning, you are just assuming that you are always a lucky person in the world coz it is not and it won't happen to anyone.

To my co-gamblers: these days are tempting, ensure to be more careful with your savings and "never gamble what you can't afford to lose"

Every gambler have experienced this one time or another, especially when we are just starting out, I experienced that myself when I was a newbie and have no control all I just want is to win and to recover all my losses, and forgetting that if you chase your losses you will end up with nothing left, I soon developed a will to control my betting.

yeah and eventually as days passed by we must learn from our mistakes and this is what responsible gamblers do.
the problem is if the player has no self control in this things change and gambling becomes a Bad area of living but the truth is?we are the one whos responsible for our mistakes.

I agree absolutely, it was my own fault as it was avoidable in the first place. Lesson learned so far: as a gambler ensure to have  self control over your mind, if you must gamble gamble with limited funds which you can afford to dump for be careless and finally, never double gamble when you are at lost in the first place, this strategy seem demonic and should be avoided by gamblers IMO.

I deeply appreciate all your contributions and  concerns, they must all be put to use this time.

Not many gamblers manage to control their emotions when playing, but if you do, you will always be able to control the stability of the capital you have for gambling. Usually people will be very curious in the initial stages of victory and in some losses at the beginning, if you force yourself to get a win maybe you will feel disappointed when you do not get it.

Using a double betting strategy is not a good choice for those who are afraid of further losses and so far I have never done it because it will only make me more chaotic when I lose. Stay away from this strategy if you only have a little capital, because this strategy might be suitable for those who have a lot of capital.

[Swordsoffreedom]

We can't avoid this, based on my experience, I only have a difficulty in sleeping when I make big mistakes in gambling.
Like when I am already losing which I suppose to stop but I got fooled by my emotion to still gamble and win back my previous loses, and usually what happen is I will lose more money that would made me regret all day and it would affect my sleeping too.
That is why, we need to be careful in gambling as it could also destroy our health if we are not doing it right.
Therefore, gamble responsibly, do it all the time.

No, I didn't think it do. If you think gambling is just a game and take it as entertainment then there will be no problem. But if you are addicted and take it seriously then it will be a problem. Again, it is not good to be greedy, we should spend a small amount of money behind for playing gambling, if you invest a rich amount of money then it will become a cause for worry.

[Kurokonobasuke]

Well, I think all the gamblers are also experience that thing, because based on my past experienced about that, when I first try in gambling and I win on every gambling platform that I played it was very difficult to get sleeping, because I always thinking and imagine in my head that I played gambling so that it was difficult for me to sleep. The solution that I did is before sleep I need to make other things that made me memorable in my mind, and it was a very effective solution for me. Until now, I didn’t experienced difficulty in sleeping.

Many people use gambling as the way to make money, and slowly they become addicting without they realize. They use more and more money, just hoping that they can win big money from gambling. I think it is normal if we make a big mistake in gambling, but the problem is how we can avoid making the same mistake the next day. That will need some effort to prevent, and the best thing that we can do is like what you say, we should spend a small amount of money so that will not be a severe problem to us.

It will become a problem if we became addicted to it and that is why we should have control over our emotions and feelings. I always setting aside my feelings when I do gambling because I know that it can affect my mentality especially my decisions. If we want to grow our capital in gambling then it is better if we will gamble without emotion at all.

[Taskford]

Discipline or self control is needed and if the person is been addicted to much in gambling then it needed to seek an immediate advice from the family member but if the case still uncontrollable eventhough the family members do their efforts then a professional action is needed and seek for medication.

One of the easiest ways to avoid this is to actually make a small research about the real odds of winning long term in gambling, most of the time those that you find that say they have won money when they gamble are always talking about the short term but when it comes to the long term the house edge will eventually catch up and make you a loser, as such the more you gamble the greater the certainty you will lose money and once you understand that fact getting addicted to gambling will be way more difficult.

It is confusing but I think I know what you are saying. When I did my first bet, I never thought that I will be addicted to it but that addiction did not just appear overnight, I am gambling for I think a year before that developed. When I realized I am addicted, that starts those sleepless nights regretting those things that I've done. Luckily I have my wife that pushed me out of that spot.
