It is obvious that if you lose good amount of money then you will have sleepless nights. I have not experienced it yet and I do not intend to in the future. I gamble with what I can spare. I always gamble with small amount and never exceed the limit.
For the Newbie yeah this is uncertain thats why may bring sleepless night but for the typical gamblers?losing Big amount is a normal thing and they are not bothered by this because their instincts telling them to try again next time so the chance of winning or recovering the funds is indeed(but of this is only their thoughts lol)
Offcourse, no gambler will say that, he has not worried about their loose in the past. In the  past, I suffered many  lose which caused me serious sleepless night but was able to get out of the string.
In this
part you admitting many losses and sleepless nights but bellow .
That was the first time and the last time I experienced such thing. The problem here isn't the lose but greedily fellow who are not satisfied with their winnings during the game process, but later lost all their winnings back to the house.

How come that it becomes the First and the Last?very contradicting lol.

Huge losses can have psychological impact for us especially if we cannot fully control our emotions and our thoughts. There are many people who regretted their decisions after they lose in trading or in gambling, that is why we should have good psychology especially if we are a gambler or a trader. I have a experienced where I also have difficulties in sleeping because of the huge money that I lost, I know that there are also many gamblers who have same experienced with me.

Yes,  It has caused me a lots of sleepless nights,  I could remember when I lost some betting back then last year,  was kind of depressed,  you know the kind of thoughts that do come up when you lost,  you will just be thinking about what the money you can do with the money if you had not play the gamble
Many of the gamblers maybe are experiencing things like you experienced.

For sure, there are some who are spending too much money on gambling because on addiction and when they lost their money they will feel depressed, regret and sad. In my case, I didn't felt anything like this. I didn't felt any depression when I'm still gambling because before I deposit funds in the online site I'm ready for any situation that may happen. I have plans either I win or lose Cheesy. I hope that some of the gamblers plan like I'm doing. Make a plan whenever you win and vice versa.

Based on my experience, i don't have difficulty in sleeping as a gambler because i can have a good sleep, even i experiences losses in gambling. I just don't sleep early because i always play gambling in the midnight or very late that i will only get myself into sleep in the morning, and i think it is really normal for gamblers to play late at night time.
Then congrats. You're not addicted yet to gambling. You're not one of those I've knew before. It is not online gambling coz in that time, internet is not yet the popular. They can't sleep because they are playing card games with betting. Their only break is when they are going to eat or will go to comfort room. Even though it is 2AM in the morning, they are still lively and awake.

like what kong hey said he play late night in the morning so 2am can be normal to some gamblers  .same on here people on our place do gamble overnight but they do sleep at the morning   . sleeping normally does not mean that your not addicted anymore but being addicted also means that you are spending most of your time on it and not doing any productive on other things    .  in my case , i have an insomia before but that is because im stressed on other stuffs not just because of gambling but luckily im recovering now

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"
It's been a month now, have you said it already on your family and do you still continue being in this situation?

Thanks to ask mate, what happened was for me to learn a lesson and I have learned my lesson in this regard. What happened have been put in the  past and.nothing will ever push me to carryout such stupidity. Also, I have come to a reality that, "gamble what you can afford to lose" is the best way to gamble, this has be what am practicing right now in practical.

Have you been able to stop gambling?

If I were you I would have stopped immediately.
I'm glad that there is no football competition at the moment, it has really helped me alot, addiction has been controlled,  perhaps I might quit it eventually,  because I realized that I've been able to save more in the last 5 weeks as compared to previous months

That is because we are still at the pandemic, and all of the sports, not just football competitions has been postponing. But I am sure that if the pandemic is over, the sports will start to make a new schedule for every competition, and people will have their time to go out from their home to watch the match. I think this pandemic will not end in shortly because the doctor and scientist still search the right vaccine to the infect people.

Cry 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.

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"
It's been a month now, have you said it already on your family and do you still continue being in this situation? If not, best you should quit with it that'll will lead to more serious problem not just sleepless night but some situations like squabble with your wife and similar things that possible to happen.

I don't agree that it's tempting right now to gamble there are other things to keep busy on even online. Learning is lifelong process go watch some DIY videos that might be of benefits to your home if you wanted to learn new skills there are tons of free courses on other sites and even on YouTube. I don't buy being tempted that much on gambling these days unless that's what you only think that you can get money that easily I will really don't argue with you on that, that's your own choice.

Whenever and before I gamble, I always put my mind into a state that whenever I lose my money I will not feel anything. No regret, no disappointment, no nothing although when I was starting in gambling I always feel this. Feeling regret and disappointed but I didn't felt that feeling where I can't sleep because I lose in gambling for some reasons. Maybe because I'm just noob or just I don't feel anything like a doll Cheesy

Oh, I think its effective, I do it too sometimes. Whenever I spent money to play, I always talk to myself. I train myself not too expect anything. If I win, its good! If I lose, then it will be okay too, I already accepted that it can come to that point. Its like mind conditioning, fully understanding the risk you are into. You already accepted the fact that gambling is winning and losing. I also avoid betting money that I really need, I just bet money that I can afford to lose.

So yeah, I can still sleep at night with that in mind. If there is a thing that makes me have difficulty in sleeping, it wouldn't be about the money I lost in gambling, cause I know from the very start what I've gotten into. Its easier to accept a lose in that way.

Nahh, choosing gambling rather than sleeping is a huge sign of gambling addiction just like gaming! When you choose something instead of sleeping just to have a pleasure/enjoy doing it is a sign of a addiction.
I still remember the time when I got addicted into an online gambling that I played when I was in High School (Secondary Level). There are times that I will play night until 4 A.M the next day and will wake up at 7 A.M the same day. That doesn't happen everyday (it is happening like once or twice weekly) but that affected my body as I'm very skinny at that time. There are no benefits of addiction whether it is gambling or gaming addiction Smiley.


Back to the topic. Yes, when I am losing a huge amount of money I am having a difficulty in sleeping considering that, I keep repeating the scenario in my mind thinking what do I do wrong and what if I do this move and more what if's. My coping mechanism to this is watching movie first and then, sleep after that so that, I will forget my loss and to enjoy sleeping.
Were the complete opposite not only because I'm only gambling small amounts of money but how I react when I lose my funds.

Whenever and before I gamble, I always put my mind into a state that whenever I lose my money I will not feel anything. No regret, no disappointment, no nothing although when I was starting in gambling I always feel this. Feeling regret and disappointed but I didn't felt that feeling where I can't sleep because I lose in gambling for some reasons.

Those people or a player who gonna play until midnight is sign that you are being addicted because that time is people are going to sleep or they are rest now. But maybe because you have difficult to play is because you have think that you gonna want to play more and win when you play .

I think I somehow get your point. You mean those people playing from the day until midnight, those who sacrificed their sleep just to gamble. I agree with you, it is a sign of addiction if one gamble for a whole day until midnight disregarding the responsibilities he should've done.  However, not all gambler playing until midnight is an addicted gambler. Maybe its just the available time for him to gamble and enjoy. Maybe he has a job and it is the only time he finds for playing. He can gamble at midnight and be a responsible and productive person again the next day.

It's pretty difficult to be in that situation knowing that you are in lock down and you will be needing that amount. Being bored is the common reasons why we keep in gambling in this type of situation but I am hoping that you should be careful next time and use only the extra money so you will not end up to this bad situation again.

In my case, I still have a control to my gambling expenses so I didn't came across to this kind of situation yet where we will be having difficulty in sleeping because of our loses.

This is not good to disturb your sleep for gambling in fact you should try to get some relaxing hours for yourself. a human brain needs 8 hours constant sleep and if you will stay awaken at night you may  get I'll so better is to stay healthy by just sleeping at night and fix only few hours for gambling at day Time it will be good for you other wise you will desises like high blood pressure or mental stress etc.
I'd agree with you that we need 7-8 hours of sleep at least for an adult person but still there are some gamblers who are already adopted with this kind of time schedule where they are awake at night and sleep at morning and TBH, not only gamblers are doing this kind of thing but also some virtual assistants who are working in other countries that has different time zone with them. It will depend on how do you take care for yourself. For me there are some who sees day as their sleeping time and night as the awake time and they can keep themselves healthy even though that is what they are doing.

For clarification purpose, I didn't mean gambling is my job mate  Grin, but that; the only time convenient for me to gamble is during weekends and sometimes into the night hours. This shouldn't be seen as any form of addiction on my part. Any gambler can choose to gamble with his time in as much its convenient. My reply was to a quote above you which said: those who gamble into the night hours are likely to be gambling addicts, and was just trying to prove a point.
If gambling at a time that is convenient for you all night then it is not addictive because you do not do it every day except only weekends to enjoy life. People addicted to gambling position it as a primary part of their lives.

Personally, I do gamble during the weekends and sometimes during late hours which is more convenient for me due to my nature of job. This has nothing to do with addiction, if you ask me.
This is a different problem when calling it a job, gambling addicts are not concerned with losses and they do not have an impact on sleep difficulties despite losing bets. Still, if your nature is the job then any value of loss will make it difficult to sleep and even they tend to stop gambling due to large losses.
