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.

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  Cheesy
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!

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"
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.

If gamblers doesn't consider gambling as a form of entertainment but more inclined towards a way of losing their money, then it would probably be harder for them to earn anything in their life as a whole. Gambling isn't an investment and they are indeed a form of game/entertainment which must be followed upon when you would like to have a leisure time. That doesn't really mean, you can lose all your hard earned money by gambling. Certain strategies can be adopted by professional gamblers where the rate of losing the game which isn't based on luck is absolutely lower.

I always consider gambling as a form of entertainment and this is probably the reason why I gamble with very few losses. At times, I trade my crypto and a part of the earnings can be used to gamble and even though if we lose on the investment they are just a minor part of my profit through trading.

It's the first time I read that. You literally don't care about losing your money?  Huh 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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

Well, I think all the gamblers are also experience that thing, because based on my past experienced about that, when I first try in gambling and I win on every gambling platform that I played it was very difficult to get sleeping, because I always thinking and imagine in my head that I played gambling so that it was difficult for me to sleep. The solution that I did is before sleep I need to make other things that made me memorable in my mind, and it was a very effective solution for me. Until now, I didn’t experienced difficulty in sleeping. 

It is confusing but I think I know what you are saying. When I did my first bet, I never thought that I will be addicted to it but that addiction did not just appear overnight, I am gambling for I think a year before that developed. When I realized I am addicted, that starts those sleepless nights regretting those things that I've done. Luckily I have my wife that pushed me out of that spot.

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.

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.

No, I didn't think it do. If you think gambling is just a game and take it as entertainment then there will be no problem. But if you are addicted and take it seriously then it will be a problem. Again, it is not good to be greedy, we should spend a small amount of money behind for playing gambling, if you invest a rich amount of money then it will become a cause for worry.
It will become a problem if we became addicted to it and that is why we should have control over our emotions and feelings. I always setting aside my feelings when I do gambling because I know that it can affect my mentality especially my decisions. If we want to grow our capital in gambling then it is better if we will gamble without emotion at all.

Not many gamblers manage to control their emotions when playing, but if you do, you will always be able to control the stability of the capital you have for gambling. Usually people will be very curious in the initial stages of victory and in some losses at the beginning, if you force yourself to get a win maybe you will feel disappointed when you do not get it.

Using a double betting strategy is not a good choice for those who are afraid of further losses and so far I have never done it because it will only make me more chaotic when I lose. Stay away from this strategy if you only have a little capital, because this strategy might be suitable for those who have a lot of capital.

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"
Every gambler have experienced this one time or another, especially when we are just starting out, I experienced that myself when I was a newbie and have no control all I just want is to win and to recover all my losses, and forgetting that if you chase your losses you will end up with nothing left, I soon developed a will to control my betting.
yeah and eventually as days passed by we must learn from our mistakes and this is what responsible gamblers do.
the problem is if the player has no self control in this things change and gambling becomes a Bad area of living but the truth is?we are the one whos responsible for our mistakes.

I agree absolutely, it was my own fault as it was avoidable in the first place. Lesson learned so far: as a gambler ensure to have  self control over your mind, if you must gamble gamble with limited funds which you can afford to dump for be careless and finally, never double gamble when you are at lost in the first place, this strategy seem demonic and should be avoided by gamblers IMO.

I deeply appreciate all your contributions and  concerns, they must all be put to use this time.

I have in bad times before but not really I was too depressed that I can't sleep because of thinking it all through the night. I know that some gamblers are affected by their losses but we should never make this thing a big deal for us. We have to move on, accept your losses...things like this always happen in gambling. That is why if we are planning to gamble, we better prepared also the consequences that we might get and losing is a part of it. If we are only thinking about winning, you are just assuming that you are always a lucky person in the world coz it is not and it won't happen to anyone.

But if someone is having difficulty sleeping, I think he needs to learn to use gambling as a fun activity, so he doesn't think about the loss that he already got in gambling. If he cannot do that, he will always think about losing, and that can make him difficult to sleep because only with sleeping will make him get a fresh mind and body.
The best option should have been to stay off gambling for some time rather than your option of playing more as a fun. One can only play gambling as a fun if and only you are not using your hard earned money and at the same time you are making profit in playing gambling and the other way.

Leaving gambling will be the best option for him so he can avoid thinking about gambling, and he can try to sleep well. Yes, we never use our hard-earned money for playing gambling because that money is for our lives, and to buy our daily needs. Maybe he needs to use the other money from the different sources so his daily needs will not be disturbed.
