We always talk about addictions, about how to gamble to achieve better results, but the topic of what goes through the mind of a healthy gambler is almost never touched upon.

Healthy gamblers are the majority. I wonder if there's something we all have in common that keeps us on the right path and never oversteps our limits.

Perhaps it has something to do with the time we dedicate to gambling, whether we do it for fun, or even if we have other things that take up most of our free time, like family, sports, exercise, or spending time with the people we love.

As a general dynamic, I'd like to know what you do when you're not gambling. I mean, I don't expect you to tell me about your life. The question is more focused on: What activity you do is above gambling? I mean, something you prioritize in your life more than gambling, or what you like to do. What would make you stop watching the Champions League final, for example?

I spent most of my time working, I have a family and a business, I spent most time working on a seeing machine, and do I need to spend much time on gambling? It doesn't require a lot of time because I only have to place a bet and go back to work, when I am done I will check the result.

And if I feel like going for slot games I only do this on free time mostly when I am less busy, I don't have to gamble so I can't call myself a hardcore gambler, but when I have the to gamble I spent my free time on slots game or sport bets. I believe the less time you spend on gambling the better it is going to be for you, because gambling is wired to make you lose more than you will win, it's obviously not something you want to do all the time.
