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?
To some extent the time we spend gambling also has effect on our gambling habits whether we become addicted or not, because the more you play the more the thought of playing more starts getting into your head, so timing can also affect or adds up to addiction. Another thing is planing when we go into a casino without a proper plan of spening our money, it would become really easy to gamble with more than we ought to gamble with. This is very common among gambler because sometimes we see tempting odds that looks promising and because of that we might take that to be our day of hitting the jackpot. And sometimes we increase our bet, but if we must do so we it should still be within the planned budget for gambling.
