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

[matchi2011]

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.

Much helpful if there's already a professional that will guide the gambler to properly assist this kind of addiction. If the family and friends can't hold
and even the efforts already been there it will be useless and the needs of  deeper help is really necessarry.

Nope, I have self-control, even my family restrict gambling for a longer time, it will just cause a lot of damage financially and mentally. Sleeping is important too, we can think and control ourselves if we have enough sleep.

Agree, it won't help if you're just curing yourself of addiction because sometimes you'll feel that you need to spoil yourself and will still do the same thing. Self-control and discipline are not enough, the gambling addict will still end up in the same situation if there's no guide or assist to recover them from addiction.

Besides being in this forum, sleep is also my favorite.  Where I have never had difficulty sleeping, because when I do football betting I sometimes leave it until the game is over.
Even in online casino gambling when I have a loss I never thought about it even I immediately shut down the computer and sleep.
Similarly, when I won I was never complacent, if the benefits were felt to be enough.  I immediately stopped and came back another time.

It's the first time I read that. You literally don't care about losing your money?  You are doing signature campaigns but then you have no problem in losing the btc you earned? It's crazy

It's not like that, buddy. when I get paid from the campaign, I divide some of the money to play gambling, that's not much.  So I think when I lost I still had the rest of the campaign money.
Gambling for me is just entertainment I am not addicted to it.
So I can still control my finances.

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"

in conditions like this, I really not dare to gamble...
you better keep your savings, refrain from gambling and wait until the epidemic subsides, because in the current conditions when you lose then you will not be able to sleep

This is my personal experience: I am a gambler who loves gambling mostly on sports betting and have had series of experiences which some a positive and others negative but for the purpose of this thread; I am going to talk about my negative experience.

Just a few days ago, the government of my country made an announcement about stay at a home policy which made me get boredom. During these few days, I have been involved actively in gambling mainly on virtual sports betting which I have lost beyond my imagination.

At first, I lost a whopping sum of #30,000 (NGN) in a local currency, I played some games and won with some good profits which I used to Carter for the family but went the next day to meet my Waterloo during which I lost the said amount. 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 has not happened to me before now until this compulsory self quarantine from the government.

Sorry to hear that you had lost all the money you placed for betting. But, listen, you made a mistake. You should have never played with those money. Was gambling your only option to earn? If yes, then you are wrong. You probably might be using thinking that this is the only option because you might be addicted to gambling. You are using this as an excuse to gamble.
What has happened has happened, try to not repeat the mistakes. You can't do anything about the past, but you can make your present and the future better. If needed, consult someone who can help you with your addiction.

Agree, it's not the time to be tempted on gambling since we need to save money since lockdown and quarantine are still implemented to avoid COVID-19. If you'll gonna waste money then It'll be over for you if the ECQ extends for a longer time. Gambling can wait, practice your self-control, it might fix your behavior towards gambling.

Save and keep your money, spend it on foods. Keep safe always!

[qomariah95]

I have experienced that, maybe because I suffered a lot of losses. so I could not fall asleep and kept thinking about my defeat. so I want to sleep, it will always be shaded the defeat that I experienced. Somehow this really happened to me. Am I not willing to lose.

[Gladiator25]

Well, people sometimes learned from their mistakes and realized they wrong. Perhaps at that time you feel greedy and want to gain more in gambling. Because actually gambling is not for making money but the interpretation of most gamblers is making money, not for the fun activity. Indeed, in this post, --you already had found the answer. Gambling of what you can afford to lose is the first rule to implement to your self because that is only self-discipline.
Be careful of this attitude that you can't sleep as a gambler because you are chasing your losses. Perhaps, this is the reason why you become addicted to gambling without knowing your self because all you know is a habit.

Being a compulsive gambler is very hard to control. When you are continuously win on the gamble and then your urge to play more that you will end up to lose, will give you more regret and like what the title of this thread, it will cause you to have a difficulty in sleeping. But in that case, you will learn from your mistake that you should always need to control yourself.

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.

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.

Make little research can be done if a gambler wants to test his luck, but he should not depend on his research because the reality will be different than his research. He can play longer than usual, but that will not give more chances to win, especially we know that the house will win in the end. No matter in the short term or long term, you should not risk more money to the house because we don't have a big chance to beat the house, and if we force it, we will end up with a big regret, and that can cause a headache to us.

Even though there is no virus that is spreading, I already stopped gambling because of the consecutive losses I've experienced.

At this moment, it is better to stop gambling temporarily and focus on your family. Instead of using your money in gambling, use your money to buy medicines, foods and others necessities that you may need with this pandemic. Most of the countries right now are under lockdown and many can't work to have money so you must think where you want to spend your money. If you lose your money like he said I agree with it that he will not be able to sleep because of regret and disappointment .

If you keep gambling during this pandemic times with money you cannot afford to lose I think you will surely lose sleep because of the anxiety.Money is not easily found during this time so spending it wisely is our upper most top priority.Once you see your losses start to grow you should stop immediately.

Great post.

I hope that as many people as possible addicted to games and not only will see him. It is very difficult to control yourself when there are no familiar constraints.
Boredom can push a person to a variety of things, and if you are addicted then this is real torture. Your brain will completely fool you and make you take a chance.

Don’t regret because you had no choice, your brain deceived you, as it always does with everyone.

There are many ways to kill boredom. I am sure most of us are getting bored sitting in our house with nothing to do. That does not mean we spend all our time gambling.

We should treat gambling as a mean of entertainment like watching a movie or playing on our gaming console. If we do not treat it as an entertainment then we will get addicted to it.

[kotajikikox]

Not at any point mate because i don't see any reason why should i.

there are times that i enjoyed playing and sometimes losing Big when i am having good opponent in Real gambling but when at night?nope i have important things to do like Forum checking and posting so i fell asleep before i knew it lol.

[onrise]

Very rarely it was only during initial days when I was so obsessed to it as it was in moving money and wanted to make the most of it . But as times passed by and understood that it should be only taken as fun and entertainment purpose then it started to be a very good way to enjoy the game and time as well . So after that it was all good and never had difficulty in sleeping .

[GDragon]

Probably the main reason why gamblers can't sleep at night is when the money they use earlier for gambling is meant for something else. Or maybe they lose a big amount, sells a property, or maybe they already lose all his available money. In other words, he created another problem because of gambling. Those problems will not let him sleep. Well, a lot already said this but a gambler should always have control with their money. Allocate money for the bills, tuitions, and other payments that is needed. Stop thinking that you'll double it in no time. Be in control, if you can't, then you're already a compulsive gambler and you should ask for help.

Anyways, I also know a gambler who can't sleep because he is fighting the urge to gamble. He wants to gain back his control, and this is a good start. He is motivated to stop. I hope he can do it.

I had somehow experienced troubles in sleeping as whenever I lose I can't sleep. My body is asleep yet my mind is awake, wondering how I lose and what should I do next to win. I was somehow bombarded with regrets with my actions back then and it was my living nightmare whom consecutively drives me crazy. Yet after some days of reminiscing the loss, I slowly learned what to do next and that nightmare didn't just drove me crazy, yet teaches me to be a better gambler. I guess it was natural to regret and can't sleep  with losses in gambling.

[Becky666]

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.

Sure comrade, haven being into gambling this was the worst thing that has ever happened to me that's why I was shocked even till now because the funds involved wasn't mine but for the family upkeep. Basically, your experiences has show that you actually have lost funds that belongs to you and not otherwise. Your point is true comrade, there will always be a tough time with that gambler that lost funds that are not His or her; which was my owncase but have gotten over it.

Anyone with such ability as comment above is an element of chronic addiction with due respect. The true of the whole thing is that; many of these gamblers around the forum aren't true gamblers we'll know because many of them are just gamblers in "wordings" and not in reality. As a promoter, your time and resources wouldn't allow anyone to lose his or her funds without feelings. No matter how small it looks as to my earnings, I really appreciate it not to lose.
