Lack of Sleep Cost Me More Than the Bet

[abaeze]

It seems that you made emotional betting, however, in the end you were able to recover your loss, which is a great achievement. After losing money in gambling or betting, you should refrain from making more or more risky bets to quickly recover that lost money. Because it hinders correct and intelligent decision-making and there is a possibility of massive losses.
The biggest thing in emotional betting is not just money but self-control. In emotional betting, sometimes you can win the bet, but there may be temporary problems in your peace, focus and lifestyle.

After halftime, I told myself, no, I’m not following the Sixers anymore. But I also didn’t want to take the high spread, so I went for over 232.5 in the Knicks game. That was basically all my remaining money, all-in, just trying to break even. Luckily, I won.

But looking back, what did I really lose? Sleep. Time. Energy.

Anything good comes with a price and maybe you just paid yours, to win is not easy as sun may thought of, gambling is unpredictable when we play our games and the more we play the harder it seems to become visible for us to win, I'm just happy for you because you later one despite the sleepless night, which is why I said that you just paid the price and it's worth it that you later won than losing.

Sleep, energy, time are very important in human life, but due to our negligence, we are wasting these valuable things. For example, we gamble for entertainment, but while gambling we do not sleep at night; we always keep thinking about what position the game will be in, what stage it will be in, etc. But we do not really understand here that we are wasting sleep, time, energy for our entertainment. So if entertainment is to be done, it must be done in leisure time; not by wasting comfortable sleep, not by wasting valuable time, and not by wasting all the energy of the body.

At times, experience teach us the best lesson, I have never keep awake like that for betting but for trading I did and  before the following morning, my account was gone and I just couldn't handle the emotional torture I got from losses I experience the whole of that night, so I totally understand what you mean here but the difference here was that you were in profit which compensates your lack of sleep. You can prevent this next time since you already know better now.

That's it, many people actually think that we only spend money in gamble but the truth is that, most times it's not just about money alone, both time and sleep are involved, so it we lose we don't just lose money, we lose both our time, money, energy and even our focus (just like what you have said above). Even though we win, we also lose time, focus and energy but the truth is that for the fact we won, all those focus, time and our energy didn't go in vail because we won. So I guess, after the discussion most people will understand that it's not just money alone.

And that’s the part people don’t always count when gambling. You can win the bet, but still lose your day, your routine, your focus, and your peace of mind.

Control is really necessary, because gambling is not only about money. Sometimes the bigger loss is what happens after the bet.

I'm sure this motivation is coming simply because you won the last bet. Because imagine if you have lost yours control, lost your sleep and eventually lost your last bet which you went all in, would you have come up with this same story? Because I'm sure the story would have been different. So please note that whatever philosophy you may have gotten about gambling, just know that winning a bet is a priority and the best wish of every gambler. Because it is a win that differentiate between a successful and failed gambler. Because some failed gambler may have control over the bets they placed, but inasmuch as they can not predict a winning ticket, they are not regarded.

You will waste your time and energy if you gamble at the wrong time just like what OP did. Night is for sleeping and not for gambling which was why it affected OP. However, if you only gamble during your leisure hour and stop the game at the right time, you will only lose your money. This is why you should only gamble when you're free and stop the game at the right time.

[Makus]

Not every gambler has this mentality because the most important thing for them is just to recover without minding what it would cost them. Whether we like it or not time is an important resource and it is one thing that we have that cannot be recovered when it's lost. There are certain things we are supposed to do that are productive but when we get into that mode of chasing losses we end up wasting hours of our time gambling carelessly. Losing sleep to gamble is also a waste of time because your body actually needs that to function properly.

[justdimin]

I was awake from evening until morning, then I needed almost the whole day just to recover. I couldn’t do the things I was supposed to do, and I couldn’t work properly because my mind was just not there anymore. So even though I won the last bet, I still lost something. Maybe not money this time, but control.

And that’s the part people don’t always count when gambling. You can win the bet, but still lose your day, your routine, your focus, and your peace of mind.

I understand the lack of sleep part, that is something I have survived for a while now. I have a health problem which means that I barely get to sleep, there is pain in my abdomen that keeps me awake and I have hard time going to sleep and staying asleep as well, so for the past 2 years or so (mostly for the past 8 months more heavily) I have been sleeping 4-5 hours a day.

And while mine is not because of gambling or anything psychological, I understand the problems that it may cause. In my situation I need to sleep more to get healed, and yet I can't so it causes a circle, because I sleep little, I can't get better. I suggest heavily to stay in the bed even if you are not sleeping, that helps more than you can realize.

In the post, I doubt OP meant to stay awake just to gamble but was already awake because of too much coffee, could not sleep and made the decision to gamble.

There's a correlation between control and balance when it comes to our gambling behaviors and how it affects our everyday life and productivity.

Control makes a gambler stick to their already set aside limits, while having balance with gambling and personal life, simply ensures that those already set aside limits are mathematically sound.
This is just what responsible gambling is all about with the main engine being risk management practices.

I have experienced the situation you are experiencing, with emotions I tried to gamble, when I realized that I was not getting enough sleep, I should have stopped and calmed myself down and rested.

Because I had little ambition so I forced myself to bet and in the end I suffered a miserable defeat, such a situation was a bad experience in my gambling history.

For this reason, up to now and at this moment I really understand that if we experience a lack of sleep, don't force yourself to bet on more dangerous risks, maybe we don't imagine.

I'm very much happy that you recovered some of the money. That is the most important thing in gambling because it would have been much worse if you didn't get a win after everything. Sometimes we need to let go of the time and other stuff. At least the winning have covered everything for the day, no matter how is it.

Because gambling is just a way to have fun and entertainment, so there's no need to bother ourselves too much about anything else, because gambling is not by force.

[AVE5]

But looking back, what did I really lose? Sleep. Time. Energy.

You didn't only lost the above mentioned, you mostly lost your "PEACE" on that cause of not betting your usual responsible bets when you bets amounts you can afford to loose and also finding the "RIGHT" time to do your bets.
If you bets on a running game that is not ending soonest before your bed or work time, you should pocket your ticket until you're done to check the result of the game.
Attaching emotions with your bets is also another point of error which resulted to your bad night.

In the end everything that is done must be sacrificed, we do get the victory we do but on the one hand we also sacrifice other things when we are too over in doing it but in this condition I always minimize the conditions when there is a match and I bet on it sometimes I don't always have to watch the game especially I also rarely do cash out or live betting so I will choose other priorities especially when it happens at night which is used to rest.

As in the match for football in La Liga because for the schedule in my country the match always occurs after midnight so I rarely watch every match except for a few matches that I think are interesting and favorite clubs and I also always try to rest early before the match starts because this is to keep the loss of not being able to do activities the next day.
Sometimes these things are quite annoying but on the one hand when we can choose to prioritize then I think it can be minimized even though it cannot be completely eliminated in terms of losses.

Gambling on an emotional level is never a good idea. When a person starts gambling on an emotional level and faces losses, he gets excited and starts gambling aggressively, and if he wins, he continues gambling to gain more. Gambling decisions should never be made on an emotional level and should never be tied to emotions. If a person wants to control himself while gambling, the first step he needs to take is to stop himself from getting emotional.

When placing a bet, your top priority should be to remember why you’re betting in the first place. You can bet for fun, for small amounts of money, or even as a hobby. But sometimes the urge to bet can be stronger than usual. When that happens, gambling can take precedence over all our other needs.

In such situations, the best approach is to have other interests that can serve as an escape. For example, if you find yourself betting more than usual, going outside for some fresh air, going for a run, or taking a nice walk can be beneficial. Even if luck is on your side at times, if you frequently lose control, you will eventually lose all your money.

Betting or gambling without a time limit makes players addicted to gambling In the long run, any time that is wasted cannot be recovered even though you end up recovering the money you lost the time wasted is going to be gone for good. Time is very essential and there's a lot we can do that can be productive, sleep is also something that is productive and losing it because you were gambling means you skipped something that is valuable to your health.
