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"
I had somehow experienced troubles in sleeping as whenever I lose I can't sleep. My body is asleep yet my mind is awake, wondering how I lose and what should I do next to win. I was somehow bombarded with regrets with my actions back then and it was my living nightmare whom consecutively drives me crazy. Yet after some days of reminiscing the loss, I slowly learned what to do next and that nightmare didn't just drove me crazy, yet teaches me to be a better gambler. I guess it was natural to regret and can't sleep with losses in gambling.
