Re: Did gambling cause you to have difficulty in sleeping as a gambler?
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 really not advisable to gamble the money that isn't yours or already allocated to your family's necessities. Gamble what you could only afford to lose. Virtual gambling is really tempting since it's accessible but you have to be mindful of its risks as well. That's a lesson for you. We all commit mistakes in gambling especially in the beginning but we should always learn from it. I have been through that kind of situation before but I moved on and I tried to get rid of risking too much in gambling.
