I have seen one interview of a former gambler and what he is saying caught my attention. He says that "when you're winning you can't sleep". I'm not sure if others have experience it or if this make sense. In any case though, one explanation is that we are really in a heightened alert, meaning it's like gambling is like a drugs that keeps up alive and awake and then the human emotions of greed takes in as we want to win for. But the problem is that after that, and in worse case if our luck turns bad, then this drug will like shoot to 100->0 in a instant. Or like when we are about to go to bed and suddenly that inch comes along and let's say that we go on sports bet, but the game will start in the next couple of hours, then we might have difficulty in sleeping and as if we take like 4 cups of coffee or a energy drink because we will for sure can't wait to see that game and hope that our stakes is going to win.
Op you really catch me on this one, and yeah, I have experience this before that was a day when i mistakenly choose midnight game. And that's the only game that was holding me from wining my ticket then, I became worried, I didn't even realize that it was late I was just streaming the game till the end I have experience this often times. I know this is really crazy but, I think this is a normal thing in gamble more especially if you have only one game Left to win let's say the kick off Time is around 1:00 in the night of which we are supposed to be sleeping by then but due to curiosity and fear you will decide to watch it till the end instead of to sleeping and just check the scores the next day.
