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"

If this happens to me I will also lose sleep, because the worst thing that could possibly happen to you is to lose in gambling when you badly need money or if you win then lose the next day and you even lose more money, this is very depressing even if you have all the time in the world in your home in this crisis you should minimize your money that you allocated in gambling sites.

Yes certainly, my experience is same as you did and i also gambled in sports betting mostly i bet in Esports Dota 2 games cause at that time that was my favourite esports game and im familiar with the team, draft and strategies. It was my first time trying that kind of gambling, it was 3x bet odd so i get triple if i win. After betting i need to wait cause the match is tomorrow, it was a sleepless night for me and i felt excited and scared. The next morning Luckily the team that i picked won, so afer i got hooked at playing.

It's our body's response to the frustations. In my case, when I lose huge amount in gambling, I do sleep to and get better afterwards. But there are also some times that I can't sleep when I win big and I lose big. That's the truth. If you are an optimistic gambler, thinking that you can recover your losses if not tomorrow then for the upcoming days, then you can set aside bad emotions and can sleep with a positive mind.

This is gambling. Remember that we can not get easy money here and house always win at the end. So, acceptance is just the only key to start all over again if we lose.

It's a matter of your inner mind now tbh. Just the fact that you think you lost a large amount is enough for most gamblers to fiddle around and panic, making their minds fill up with irregular thoughts and the like. An example would be an endless amount of "what if" situations, that no matter what would've never happened either way cause what's done is done. There's countless of chances that gamblers would always arrive at these kinds of thoughts, so I'd advise learning how to deal with it so it wouldn't affect your matters outside of gambling that much. Reducing the amount of money to gamble or lessening your time in gambling isn't really a solution, since those thoughts would still come, one way or another.

You just get stressed for the situation and been worried for the losses what you encountered so best o move on mate since its not really helpful to think that since the more you think the more sadness you get, so just think that you lost it accidentally and move on since that's the life of the gamblers and best to learn from this mistake to be more responsible gambler next time.

Only a few times when I lose a huge amount on a single bet and when I already have a profit but I still continue to play and ended up losing all of my money.
In those times I would have trouble sleeping because of overthinking and some what if's.

I am not really used in gambling but I think gambling can also makes us difficult to sleep because it is like our habit in our life, personally speaking, I am so used in playing online games and it makes me difficult to sleep because of the feeling that I want when playing, when I want to sleep, I keep saying that this is my last game for this day but it won't happen because I am still playing and playing. I think that is similar on what gamblers can feel while playing.

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.

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.

Losing big amount that you cant afford to lose may affect your daily life including your sleep as you will always think about it when you are going to sleep. You will ask yourself something like "why I should gamble", "I should have some money if I did not gamble" etc.
I have once experienced it long time ago when I was so addicted to gambling. Anytime I lose, then it will make me hard to sleep because the feeling of regret. Now, it is better to have your own limit on how much to lose.

I don't have difficulty sleeping because when my body is tired, I know that is the time for me to take a rest. Even for the hard worker, they know when they need to take a rest or sleep for a while, so when they woke up, they can feel better. As a gambler, you must know when you need to stop, not just to prevent the loss, but you also need rest and sleep.

In these situations, when all people stay at their home, we can still play gambling, but we must remember that we don't have to play gambling all-day long because we need to take a rest, and spent our time with the other family members. Besides that, by limiting your time in gambling will help you to know that your life is not for gambling only. There are people around you that will need you even just to say hello or smile to them.

US$80 loss should not lead you into unusual behavior.

Stand up and move on. Don't let that US$80 change you. If you are not sure how to get back that amount then there is no choice but to tell your family what happened. They will be mad or slightly angry with you as for others, that amount is hard to earn but its good to tell them early so that they are ready and will not expect and rely heavily on you about the expenses.

And contrary that it's tempting nowadays as you said, I do not feel the same. Maybe because the situation here is getting worst so there should be savings. I did a quick research and find out that your country has 8 reported confirmed cases that's why you are at least comfortable for now. Here, it rose from less than 100 to around 400 in just 2 days. Still, less than to other countries but that kind of figure is alarming now.

I can't say that all of this is not your fault since it is but you should learn from this. It is been repeated and been talked almost all the time that you should not spend or bet your money if you can't afford it. Your family needed it at a time like this, it might not be that of a huge amount but still, that could help your family get through the day. I did experience having a hard time sleeping thinking what I've done wrong for my family. They are the reason I got off of my gambling addiction, my family and my partner.

If you are experiencing difficulties in sleeping because of thinking too much about gambling, it is indicated that you are addicted already. To be honest, I never experienced it, even I lost in gambling I always tried to forget it soon. Why? I don't want the gambling effect too much in my life. You know, some people sometimes have a bad mood all day because of losing (defeated in gambling). I don't want it to happens to me! Grin

Once I suffered out of gambling addiction. The addiction began in an early morning and the same ended up in the night after a month. In between the deep sleep woke up and just for fun gambled and lost five ethereum. Further I wasn't able to sleep, and after hard try retained it within the morning. Decided not to gamble anymore, but things changed and it became a routine to spend on night. Finally the day came, wallet got emptied which made me get out of the addiction.

Really hard to control our addiction since it is very accessible, with just your desktop/laptop you can log-in and play anytime to want.

And as far as losing big money, been there, done that, lost a lot of sleeps, LOL. After I lost, I have to think of another way to cope up with the money that I lost, waiting for my next paycheck. But that was many years ago, right now, I just play online games with just enough crypto to have some fun. I don't want to go back and play with all the money I got, things have change now, I learn how to prioritized.

If you are gambling in order to earn a living out of it then it will definitely have a psychological effect on your mind and consequently even your sleep will be distorted.
The biggest you made was to even gamble using the money that was not yours. If you don't have money or if you are planning to gamble in order to earn out of it then always ensure you totally avoid the temptation to gamble because the consequences can be far much worse than your initial situation that led you to gamble.

30000 NGN? Isn't that just 80 dollars? Don't worry about it OP it's not something you cannot earn again.

If it was 80 thousand dollars you'd have a problem but 80 dollars? Please!

I have no problems sleeping but everything that stresses you can cause sleep disorders. Stay calm, work out, don't forget to eat and you'll be fine.

For me its more on sacrificing my sleep instead of having troubles doing so since most of the sports that I bet on usually starts at midnight or early in the morning then the situation snowballs until the end of the week putting my sleep schedule all over the place. During the time I lost most of my bankroll my experience was mostly the opposite sleeping was much easier since i've got nothing to watch during the day but it took a few days to shrug off these losses.
