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

As long as you do not expect anything from gambling, you will not have deep attention to gambling, but whenever your expectations increase, your desire to gamble will increase. There will often be a strong reaction in your mind to gambling. Which can eventually lead to addiction. One thing that gamblers have in common is that everyone only wants to win in gambling, even though they know lose is very common, they do not try to remember it while betting.
