In as much as gender doesn't determine ones level of composure, it's also worthy to not that men are better in handling shocks especially the ones that comes from losing in gambling than women do and that's the number of men who gambles are way to higher than their female counterparts. Gambling isn't gender based activity but right from when gambling came to existence, it's been reported that more 80% of gamblers across the globe are all men.
In other to avoid the deep shocks that comes with losing ones gamble, it's advisable for women not to engage in gambling.

I think you meant that’s what would happen when you’re NOT prepared for the outcome of a loss. I don’t think any of this has to do with weaker feelings or fragile hearts although your opinion on ladies having weaker feelings and fragile hearts is arguable.

There are cases of men who didn’t take the news of their losses well. Would we use one or two examples to come to a conclusion? I think It totally depends on the individual and how tolerant the individual is to receiving unfavorable news.
She obviously wasn’t expecting an outcome like this and couldn’t take the loss well.

Doesnt matter whether you are a man or woman on which it would really be that normal that there would really be that moments that you would really be able to cry specially if you have lost significant or an amount that you cant afford to lose then it would really be that normal that those kind of reaction could really happen but this would really often that could be seen on women
since we know that they are really that too emotional compared to men and also they are someone who doesnt really like on losing money or simply not that adventurous and this is why
on the first time that they would really be able to experience gambling and lost up that much then you would really be that ended up on crying.

This is why its really that important that whenever you do touch up gambling then you should really be preparing your emotion into it, because if you dont then for sure
you would really be ending up on having this kind of reaction or ended up on crying if you arent that prepared. 

there is really no gender when you talk about any addiction. it will hit on any person, so long you can't handle your activities too well. if you won't assess your situation and you will just follow your desires, you can easily be in trouble as before you noticed, you are already too deep and hard to shovel out from your grave. people have their different approach when it comes to their addiction, but if they won't pause, surely, more problems arise.

If women are better gamblers than men then why women also get addicted to gambling?  I believe when it comes to gambling addiction, there is no better gender.  Both are gender are susceptible to gambling addiction.  One good proof is the documents and articles that is published on the internet and lots of documentary videos uploaded on Youtube and other streaming sites.

I believe gambling addiction can affect anyone regardless of gender because these two genders are both human and have the instinct and characteristics of a person.


True and the main reason why a gambler can't move on is due to greed.  They don't want to end at a loss and wanted to recover and at the same time get a big time revenge win which make them hook wagering and betting until they found themselves addicted to gambling.

It's okay to cry and that's a normal reaction after seeing that the money has gone away. And you're right that the next move is to move on.

For most of those gamblers that can't do that, they will struggle on that part of moving on. That's even still a painful thing for them because even if they have accepted the fate of their money and lost.

Woman like her can't just move on and there are men that are also being like that, when they gamble they cry when there's so much losses they've made or they just can't take it anymore.

The loss was painful but as you said crying because of the loss will not help anything and it will not bring back the lost money. So she has to put herself together and move on because that her will lead to another sickness. And I believe it is not only her that have lost money in gambling, there are some people who have lost very big amount of money and they are not complaining to anyone. I think she needs a counselor to counsel her so she can adapt to the system if not she might collapsed.

Better to know that crying will not do anything. Instead of crying, moving on should be done. By doing so, accepting the fact that the money is gone will be easy to accept and never get into gambling activity again if she's not prepared to lose her money. I'm not saying that crying is not okay, but the moment that the lady starts to gamble, it comes with the risk of losing her money. Crying only shows that she's not prepared and now after losing, that's the only thing she can do.

You're right, crying is better than committing suicide.

And with her reaction, she cried because she lost her money that she's not prepared for. It's okay to cry for someone who assumed that she's gonna make money quickly with sports betting because everybody does.

But on her case, she's not just prepared for it because of what she thought. Gambling isn't for her and she shouldn't gamble anymore because there can be a worst case scenario that she might do for herself when losses comes to her.

I disagree with that. What she did wasn't a mistake, it was a deliberate attempt to make money and she failed in that. How can you call something a mistake that you have done yourself while knowing all the possible consequences of it? A mistake is an action that is done unknowingly and/or without actually knowing the possible outcomes or consequences of it, but in this case, it's different, because she is an adult and she knows exactly what gambling is.

I bet she or anyone would say she did it by mistake if she had won a million dollars from gambling, why? If you lose your money, you've made a mistake, but if you make money, you did it through gambling, that's hypocrisy. She knew from the beginning that gambling has the quality to take all her money away but she still did it, so it's all on her and she should accept that, there is no other choice other than accepting the defeat and learning from the experience.

There are still many women out there who don't actually want to gamble, but because they are curious, they do it until they finally lose and realize that actually gambling is not for them, the woman in the OP is one example.

literally we are moving into an era that is increasingly balanced in terms of gender but women have more needs such as powder - clothes - jewelry than men so when women lose gambling they will cry uncontrollably.

I gamble quite often, but I don't burden my mind too much with the losses I probably get when playing, I understand the consequences.

And at the same time, we click this kind of headline on the news. Somehow I believe this is a clickbait of the casino since there was also news about this being a kid begging for his money to be returned to him as the money is his school fee. Same bookmaker too.

Nonetheless, if the woman and the boy are true then this sportsbook has really gotten into the household of this country where even the housewives are already betting instead of doing chores at home.

Stories like always cracks me up.
Well crying is better than those who committed suicide. After crying she's going to get a plate of ice cream after which she'll forget about her loss.
Real gamblers don't cry. We what that it is what it is. Anyone who doesn't gamble responsibly will face the consequences.

Probably she is the gambling addicted person,So she can’t control the number of the games to the gambling.When she posses continuous loss in the gambling,every gambler may get sad.Since she is the woman with the soft heart,he may melted and start to cry for their loss in the gambling.The gambler should managed their mind set at all situation.My words was same all the time,gambling was the game for the strong heart person.If you are not the strong mindset person,you can play the other games like cricket or football in the offline mode.The pro gambler can handle the loss and will have the plan B for the loss in the gambling.

It's not normal especially on gambling because people will just heckle and blame you but we know if you're active on social media you want to be popular and you want people to talk about you, you want to be viral so you can have a lot of followers, some people are making a living on social media especially on Tiktok if you have many followers, advertisers will ask you to promote their product and pay you if you're going to cry because of losing in gambling its better to keep it to yourself it's easy to heal than crying in social media.

Yes, it is normal for some people to cry when sad, but they are not sad because they have lost when gambling. It will only provoke reactions from other people, and they may be bullied by people who don't like it. People's reactions are different, but you shouldn't cry in public because you lost at gambling. He could cry in his room and lament his gambling losses so that no one would know that he had gambled and suffered a big loss. It was to avoid people's dislikes so that he could avoid bullying from others. But there could be a sense of satisfaction if they could publicly upload their sad moments so that people could express sympathy for the woman.

Isnt it normal for people to cry when they lose and that person just chose to post it on social media?  People react to things differently, and crying is a natural response to emotions, even for experienced gamblers.  Maybe that significant loss trigger her frustrations and she posted that video of her as a way to reach out for empathy or advice from others who have gone through similar situations. Who are we to say that she cant play again?? Maybe you chose to closet your emotions but that’s you.

That's what will happen when you're prepared to the outcome of your risk taking mate. Ladies have got weaker feeling on this one and their hearts are more fragile than us men.

We can take as much losses that we can while them, it seems that losing is a new thing to them. The mistake here is that she used the money that she needs for something else and it's likely an important matter.

She shouldn't have done that, she can't take back the money anymore and she's got the lesson not to gamble when she cannot deal with negative results.

It could be that she is a beginner in gambling and spent all her money on one bet and maybe that's the reason why she cried. If she really is a pro gambler she knows how to deal with it. Why the heck she uploaded a video crying on  what had happened to her on gambling?

Everything she does now is useless. Even if she cries for a few weeks the money has gone, and it will never come back. If she still plays more, she will still lose. However, the lady knows how much she stakes. I believe the money is too much, which is why she is crying, so with this, I won’t pity her because that is not how gambling works, and this shows that she doesn’t know how to gamble or that she relies on gambling. I remember one topic on this board where someone lost tickets and she fell sick for 3 days. Probably this lady also had a plan for the money she would win, which is why she was crying, or she took a loan to gamble. Because it’s happened, we see people take loans to gamble, but at the end of the day they lose the game and start panicking.


You are right, women are not the same as men when it comes to emotions, and things like this, men often lose in gambling many times before winning a single ticket, and they don’t bother. However, the way some men lose in gambling, if that is how women gamble and lose, then definitely you will not see only cry; some will even try to commit suicide because small things change their mood. Most women don’t have the mind to endure pressure like men; however, I wish her good luck in her gambling habit, and I hope she shouldn’t say she will chase her losses in gambling.
