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.
Yeah if you take your family,work, hobbies that's Event set out of personal goals as you said as your top priority definitely you won't be having much time for gambling this things you just mentioned here would deprive you of not making out chance to visit the casino or gambling shop. Even when you're in the gambling shop your attention will be divided as you will be paying less attention to the casino, 90% of your attention will be on how you family is cooping since you're not at home and also thinking about other things that can add a value to your life, this way you will just walk out from the gambling shop. But there are some people that make gambling a top priority, whenever they're in the gambling shop or casinos they always pay 100% attention to the casino without even realizing that they have families and other important things they need to sort out.
