An absolutely healthy bettor or gambler will never think about these hobbies in their free time, because they have a lot of things to do and other thoughts that, in their opinion, can build a path to happiness.
An absolutely healthy gambler will simply work at his job or invest, and he will mentally understand that he will receive a raise or additional income due to this, buy something, and will not think about how to quickly take this money to the casino and supplement his bankroll.
i think it’s normal to want to gamble from time to time i do get those thoughts as well but what is not normal is being consumed by the thought of gambling like you can’t go through a day or a week without wanting to gamble and it’s like an itch you have to scratch
