Absolutely gamblers with healthy mindset sure has their priorities outside the place of gambling, such as family, work, hobbies or even set out personal goals, which keep things on the balance. If these things matters more, gambling is just treated as only entertainment or leisure activity. Personally, staying more time with those I love or maybe events of life that are of importance quickly overtake the pleasure of watching a match or betting. Setting priorities of things with more meaning than gambling, that's definitely how it stays in its position.

If you have loved ones and relatives, this means that you are a happy person who receives his portion of love and care, as well as communication from them.
But, unfortunately, many gamblers or bettors are lonely and have no one to chat with or spend the beginning of the weekend with, and therefore they prefer to dispel their boredom and loneliness, as well as distract themselves from bad thoughts by devoting some time to a casino or betting on sports events.

It's sad, but it's the truth. I think most gambling addicts are those who live alone because they don't really have anyone to spend time with, and also those who acquired problems from their families, and so they live alone too.

It's a common thing for them, but if you have a family and have someone to be happy with, I think we should think about our future when it comes to a bad habit like gambling. It's not fair for them if we are happy gambling while they are waiting at home for us to be with them and to spend time laughing and have dinner. It could make a dent to the relationship of a family and we would not want that to happen especially if the kids are starting to grow and having their own mind and choices.
