Don't make your bets when you're tired

[Ever-young]

It is good that one shouldn't gamble when he is not going to concentrate on the game. Gambling in a subconscious mind or when you are tired can lead to great losses without you knowing about it. This is because you wouldn't know what you are doing and will make mistake, just like the one you did OP. Gambling is not a compulsory thing, and should be done in your free time. When you are feeling sleepy, then go and sleep and don't use the time that you are dosing to gamble, because you will not enjoy the fun but regret your actions. As you mistakenly used 500usd to gamble, why were you unable to sleep throughout the night, but initially, you were dosing.

gambling should not be used as an escape strategy for real-life issues; rather, it should be done for pleasure and entertainment. An exhausted person's brain isn't working at its best and they might not be conscious of what they're doing. This may cause you to make bad choices and incur significant financial losses. In order to avoid making foolish mistakes that could jeopardize your finances, people should only bet when they are feeling aware and awake. They should also never gamble while they are attempting to deal with life's pressures.

As I was not able to see clearly, to be honest with you, that drowsiness took over and I could not sleep that night as I felt very disappointed because that amount for me was too large to lose it in a game like this.

Sometimes we also need some medicated eye glass to support our vision. If you are of age or you usually strain your eyes trying to see through the screen then glasses will help just incase that could be a reason.

 In general, I realized my mistake and no longer made my bets while I was tired. Concentration is the most important thing in any effort we make, and we must always be at full mental strength, as there are many factors that may affect your chances of winning or losing.

I hope everyone benefits from my experience, thank you

Yeah it is an experience that is painful when you didn't plan to use up such amount of money to gamble to try a luck but only just wasted it. However, there are also some instances when mistakes still turn out to be luck and at the end you have a multiple win against your initial meagre winning target. Well in the instant case, it happened to be a loss. It is for others to learn, playing and losing concentration isn't appropriate because if you have staked it you can recall until the outcome is known.

[Dewi Aries]

This is a very good discussion, OP, and this can be a very valuable lesson for us so that we don't make the same mistakes that we now know that gambling in a state of fatigue after doing a lot of daily activities can make us negligent and wrong in doing something like what you said where you were wrong in writing the amount or number you wanted to bet. It's also true that gambling really requires good concentration in itself because this involves making decisions where concentration will be able to smooth out the decisions you have made, or it means that by having good concentration, you can do everything according to the decisions you make based on careful consideration beforehand.

Looking at your case it seems that I can conclude that you are one of those gamblers who is quite responsible and knows your limits but unfortunately you gamble at the wrong time where you gamble when you are tired due to other activities that in the end you unconsciously make mistakes that you should not do when you have good concentration and focus. The point is this is a good lesson for us so that we can be more careful and thank you for sharing it here.

[AicecreaME]

I definitely agree.

Doing something when you're tired will never be productive, it will turn to a disaster and will just ruin your day. It's similar to chasing your losses, since in both cases, you don't have a clear way of thinking what to do next, in short, you don't have any plan to make profits. So if you're tired and wanna have a pastime, don't place any bets, just watch tv while drinking something that's refreshing and soothing.

[Forsyth Jones]

I'm sorry for your loss OP, but take this as a learning experience and based on it, as well as serving as an experience for us because you're telling us something that's useful for you.

Some people actually work more than they spend time in leisure, this is sad for bettors. When you are feeling tired or stressed, try to satisfy your adrenaline levels in other activities that do not depend on your bets at that moment, such as playing a video game, or even researching the team you are betting on and seeing their current conditions to place a bet when you are cool-headed and refreshed.

[bitzizzix]

In very tiring conditions, if we force ourselves to do anything the results will be bad. And playing gambling will make us unable to concentrate because very heavy drowsiness will interfere with concentration and there is a big possibility that your bet will be messed up or result in stupidity.
And I have felt this, and what I do when I feel tired and want to gamble is try to move my body or look for small things to do such as sweeping, washing dishes and other light work aimed at eliminating sleepiness and fatigue. And besides that, I make coffee or drinks that make me feel fresh and energized, and when I feel fresh and have the ability to concentrate, then I gamble. And if the feeling of tiredness and sleepiness doesn't go away, I will take a break and do it after waking up or at another time when everything is fine.
However, it would be better for you to regulate your gambling activities. If you are busy or work 5 or 6 days, you can do it on the weekend with good overall condition because it is not good to do random gambling activities if you have a tiring job.

Hi ,

From a personal experience that happened to me not long ago, and I want to share it with you guys.

After a hard day's work, and as usual every night before going to sleep, I make some bets on football matches and then i look for a game to pass some time. That night I wanted to play the crash game, knowing that I used to play it almost every day. I started playing and i was changing the amount of money, the bet from one round to the next, and the amount was very small, from 20 dollars to 40. After the start, a few minutes later, I did not understand what happened. I opened my eyes and saw the amount of 500 dollars written on the screen. When I looked closely, I found that I had bet on it and lost the bet for a trivial reason, which is that I made a mistake. When writing a number due to exhaustion and fatigue.
As I was not able to see clearly, to be honest with you, that drowsiness took over and I could not sleep that night as I felt very disappointed because that amount for me was too large to lose it in a game like this.

 In general, I realized my mistake and no longer made my bets while I was tired. Concentration is the most important thing in any effort we make, and we must always be at full mental strength, as there are many factors that may affect your chances of winning or losing.

Thank you very much for sharing you experience with us, I must say that this is as important as it can be, I don't gamble that frequently but when I do, I make sure my eyes are wide open and very clear so as not to make any regretable mistakes.

I have actually had this same experience though not with gambling, but with posting on this forum, I had a very busy week that week and wasn't able to be very active on this forum, and just by the weekend, I was determined to reach my post quota for the week, so when I got back from my business that night, I was very tired but still was determined to make some number of posts before I go to bet that night, I started posting and was feeling heavily sleepy, I kept typing and at some point, I opened my eyes, read what I was typing and discovered that I had completely deviated from what is being dicussed on that thread, and typing something entirely different, some thing I was seeing in a dream, thank goodness i opened my eyes to read it before clicking the post button.

One thing is, nature can't be cheated and when we try to force ourself to be awake when we should be resting/sleeping, it sometimes results in an unexpected loss, most especially in the area of gambling.

Are you thy attached to the game that you couldn't let the day pass without you playing since you do knew you were feeling tired out of exhaustion from the day's activities. Do you know you could have lost more than just a $500 assuming you had thousands in your bet account because since 3figures was possible for you to punch when dozing, a 4  -6 figures wouldn't have been a had one to have punched.

The lesson that should be learnt here shouldn't just be within or about gambling alone but in extension to every other activities we want to engage into they requires us to be at alertness and vigilant as any error could cause us a loss of anything valuable to us. Take note: there's always much other time's to gamble in as much as you are alive, never force it when not in your right mind (lacking concentration).

Yes, it can be used as a very valuable experience for us in the future.

Betting when we don't have concentration or lose focus, such as because we are tired, sleepy or under the influence of alcohol, is something we should avoid. Because we will unconsciously make bets that we shouldn't, for example if we make a mistake in determining the nominal bet, the same as what OP experienced. We will definitely regret losing it all, because we did it unconsciously, and we only realized after we realized that our defeat was not what we wanted. We must bet in a relaxed state, not feeling tired, not feeling sleepy and not being influenced by alcohol and so on. This will make us careful in determining the nominal bet.

I also experienced the same thing, but the difference was that I was too hasty when playing, so I missed checking the amount of bets I made. Yes, I only realized after the defeat came and saw that the balance was reduced, not as it should have been.

[mirakal]

Not only when you are tired. Not only when you are angry or sad. In general, you should be relaxed and feel like being entertained for a while. Going to the casino after the death of a loved one or after an argument with your girlfriend does not usually end well.

As long as you’re having a negative emotion, then it will never be a good option to gamble, otherwise you will only lose your funds in just a blink of an eye because you don’t have your focus and attention to your bets. However, even if you are feeling highly positive emotions and you are seeing an irresistible urge for gambling, I still advise to avoid gambling still because that will only lead to wrong decision making and eventually lose all your funds.

Know when to gamble and when not to, and as much as possible evaluate yourself first if you are ready to lose or not, or if you are gambling on the amount you can afford to lose. With this, you can limit your losses if ever things don’t work out as planned.

[Out of mind]

I think if you are a hard-working person then never go gambling, and it will never be good for you. Because you must deposit money to bet with hard work money and from there when you bet on football game or other sports you must suffer a lot when you lose. You can never say with experience that you can win the bet and get your money back, rather you can lose money at any time and you can be emotional. So you never go gambling with your hard-earned money, it is harmful to you and harmful to your family. However, since you are a very hard-working person, you never take such wrong decisions, rather you get out of this bad habit. Rather I would like to advise you that you should never bet with your hard-earned money but if you deposit money according to some percentage you can bet with it. However, if you lose after working hard then you will definitely change your mindset, and you will be very broke, that's why you should avoid gambling and keep your money safe.

In fact, it is recommended to play gambling when you are in a good mood, not the other way around because the game requires concentration and we will get fun and excitement if we play in a good mood.
Logically, it is impossible to get good concentration if we play tired.
We cannot deny that there are people who play when they are tired, but what they hope for is not to win, but to get rid of and restore passion.

I've had experiences like that too. This means that I once played in a bad situation and my goal in playing was not to chase victory but to get passion for slot games. When betting on football, even though I'm tired, I place bets while watching the match from start to finish.

This is a great lesson for us and I'm sure many people will learn from it. I don't think it is only when one is tired, even when one is distracted, gambling should be avoided because gambling requires so much focus. There are some gambling activities that require highly mental engagement especially the skill based gambles. Anyone going into them need to be physically and mentally alert else a single mistake can be disastrous. One way to avoid such mistakes in games like sports book is to focast ahead of time and write the options down to place the bet whenever the options becomes available in the casinos.

[QuinielaPosible]

Night-time betting after a long day can definitely be a highway to regret, especially when the brain's more interested in snoozing than strategizing

[Yatsan]

It's about being conscious with your bets and actions. With betting I personally believe that giving your full attention to it would give you the best experience whether it is a losing or winning bet. If you would be unconscious of your bet, if you lose then that would be an instant regret and thoughts that you shouldn't have bet in the first place. If you happened to win, then it won't be as fulfilling as if you planned things out, also on the same instance, you could use the strategy and analysis that you used on your next bet; more of being efficient with your betting strategy and experience of course. Being tired would simply divide your attention between taking a rest or continuing to bet. I also don't want to make a half meant bet because that would only make me impulsive for the sake of placing a bet and not with a sole purpose to do so.

When it comes to gambling, a lot of people do not just only make the mistake of gambling when they're tired, they also do not know that it's absolutely wrong to gamble when they're feeling sad or emotionally unstable. In gambling, when a gambler isn't totally sound in mind he's prone to make decisions that'll not be beneficial to him which will result to losing a lot of money.
Gambling is a game that requires total attention in other not to lose money in but some people still gamble when they're distracted by the happenings around them which I think is absolutely bad for anyone to continue doing it. When a gambler is feeling tired as a result of anything that must have consumed his energy, it is best he avoid anything that has to do with gambling at that very given time and come to it when he's fully fit to engage in gambling again.

[YOSHIE]

Don't make your bets when you're tired

This has become a certainty for everyone, carrying out activities that require concentration, strategy, precision, especially gambling if done when stressed, tired, bored, and so on, it can cause us big losses, because most people, if they have traits like what I said above, they are easily emotional and cannot control themselves, whereas in the gambling arena we need control over all types of games that are bet on, to produce results perfectly.

For this reason, gambling is not as easy as other people see and hear. You need positive things and concentration on your own soul before entering the world of gambling, at least if our soul is fit in carrying out gambling activities, at least it will prevent someone from losing and can produce real wins.

[TopT3ns]

Doing something when you're tired will never be productive, it will turn to a disaster and will just ruin your day.

So if you're tired and wanna have a pastime, don't place any bets, just watch tv while drinking something that's refreshing and soothing.

Exactly, the steps you mentioned must be taken, when you feel tired you have to rest for a while. If you work hard to earn money then it will never end. Physical health remains the top priority so you don't fall ill and make the condition even worse. Sometimes you need fresh air and feel the atmosphere in your surroundings and breathing fresh air and listening to the sound of the waves on the beach while lying down is a place to find calm and raise your enthusiasm to bet again after everything recovers.

[gunhell16]

It's true that almost everything said by our companions here is true, but for people who are really addicted to playing gambling, I think they will not care if they are tired. Because the desire of their minds is to gamble and always win.

Even if they can sleep while gambling, it is not true for gambling addicts. But overall, if we're tired, don't try to gamble because, for sure, the money we gamble with will be 100% in danger.

Night-time betting after a long day can definitely be a highway to regret, especially when the brain's more interested in snoozing than strategizing

I hope that other gamblers will think like that so that they don't end up with something they don't want to happen when they play gambling in any casinos.

[LDL]

It is quite right that a gambler should not gamble if he is physically ill or tired. In this case it can have a negative effect on gambling both mentally and physically. Especially if one is unwell and can't focus on any work properly with a sick body. In the case of gambling, the matter is more sensitive and if gambling is done with a sick mind and body, then the right team/Dice/Slots/Bankroll may not be selected. In this case, the amount of loss will be more likely than the profit.
