We are in a different world now where girls seem to be engaging in things men do so i am not surprised just that the rate of women who engage in gambling keeps rising by the day and i just hope they are aware of the dangers of gambling addiction and they are educated enough to prevent themselves to becoming an addict. Anyone can gamble irrespective of their gender if they are up to the age range allowed to gamble.

Chasing ones loss is what lead to gambling addiction and people needs to understand that what is lost is lost. Once you start to involve emotions into your games gambling will get the best of you so when you lose you need to understand that it is not your day and instead of chasing your losses you just have to wait for another day and try again.

Of course i feel bad. No one wants to lose money especially when you worked so hard to earn it so i do feel bad but i don’t let it get the best of me.

I try to spend it on my needs that’s more pressing at the moment i believe it’s better that way than to spend it my wins on gambling again.

I am disciplined enough to know when to stop but i just set limits on the amount to spend on gambling per week.

I am going to Cherry pick some questions and then answer them randomly.

Question 1 "How do you see women gamblers..."
Answer : I see no difference between the two genders. Every person is different and the gender makes no difference between how you gamble or how much you gamble.

Question 2 "How do you feel when you lose..."
Answer : I have a mixture of feelings that range from being sad and some times feeling anger. (Anger when I gambled too much and when I lose everything)

Question 3 "How do you spend your winnings.."
Answer : I seldom have anything to spend, because I gamble for entertainment and the money that are deposited or winnings, stay there so that I can play for a longer period.

We are living in a modern world, most people these days gamble online except for those who find physical gambling more enjoyable because of the thrill and the fun they can find in land-based and physical casino establishments. When it comes to women, they barely get time to go out and gamble at physical casinos unless they are completely free and independent and have enough time to do that but it's rare.

So women these days use online gambling platforms as well if they gamble, the percentage of female gamblers is generally very low but that doesn't mean women don't gamble at all, they do, but they mostly do it online and that is the reason why you barely see any on the betting shop.

There is a qualitative change taking place in society, which changes all the roles that the individual plays within his societal environment. Women are the biggest beneficiaries because they will at least give up traditional roles.
It is an approach that will remain a subject of moral controversy indefinitely because the phenomenon is provocative and it is not easy to come up with an objective assessment without falling into gender classifications, even though the comparison is between two different genders. I believe that the issue can only be studied from the point of view of analytical psychology, which classifies activities according to gender. For example, we find that men lead in the gambling industry, while women excel at excessive consumption of clothing and cosmetics.

Knowing when to stop gambling as a gambler is crucial. It will save a gambler a lot. Some gamblers don’t know when to stop gambling. Even when they are winning they keep gambling with the hope of winning more and also, when they lose they continue to gamble to recoup their loss. This is a very bad way of gambling. In my submission, any gambler who knows when to stop can never be addicted or have a gambling-related problem such a gambler can easily overcome so many problems simply by stopping when it is necessary.

But then, I have a concern with you not setting a limit for your gamble. Even though you know when to stop and control your emotions, it is still imperative to set limits and stick to them. If you don’t set a limit you will gamble more in some days depending on your income which is not proper. It is better to have a fixed amount regardless of how much you have.

No one is happy, when they encounter losses. Though we all gamble for fun sake and a bit of the cash which comes along side the fun, no one is really going to be happy that they lost any game.
some people don't gamble for fun just like most people do and this often lead to addiction which is the problem most gamlers encounter in the gambling journey. As a gambler, no matter how fun your gambling activities are, you do feel it most time when you loss.
No one lies to himself that those losses doesn't really affect them. One has to be less emotional to be able to control himself during losses. Avoiding thinking too much about it.

Poor participation in my locality because women are not that much interested in gambling like the way men do appear, some young women do go to the gambling house together with their boyfriends and not going there because they wanted to gamble themself, so i can conclude this by saving that it is very rare for you to see women involving in gambling from where i live except on rare occasions.


Unless you witness seeing someone behaving like one you may not actually know whether they are notorious or not, some may also not be as you have thought expects we see them in practical, i will advise the word addiction to be used instead of notorious in this context to be able to carry what you mean or portray from the content on discussion.

Not a problem ... it's their right to want to play gambling or not because in gambling there are no certain gender restrictions, all are free as long as they know the risks they will face.

When losing in gambling I must be honest emotions must exist but you must understand that gambling must make it fun, whether you lose or win, make it fun, not looking for money there.

After the victory will not spend directly I prefer to enjoy it first and then leave a little to play again, if from the winnings continue to play then there is no fun in gambling games.

I will just answer categorically, I guess to avoid redundancy. Gambling chooses no gender, age, race or such; if you can afford betting and testing your luck, then you'd be fine. I don't care that much with people around me such as notorious bettors because in the first place that won't be my problem and I prefer minding my own. Winning and losing will be both part of the game and the extent on how you will react on each instances depends on your expectation as a player; if you want to get rich from gambling then either outcome will push you to just continue playing but on my end, I tend to secure a portion of my profit and won't hesitate to rest from this activity if I'm already losing that much. I gamble only a small proportion of my salary and this is why I don't support people who are willing to borrow money for this activity because that's irresponsibility already on their end and I don't want to be a part of it. And if I ever will be rich from gambling, I would personally prefer quitting and using the money in a profitable and more secured investment such as properties.

These questions are a bit mixed but all of it falls under gambling responsibility. Might be cliché to some but at least this could remind those who are being compulsive with their gaambling habits not as a leisure but in some instances, as a career. Nothing's wrong as long as you could handle the consequences of losing.

I am ignoring them. I don't even ask money to gamble and if I want to gamble, I'd use my personal money for that.

Nope.

Even if I am pretty much sure with my analysis for the games that I am betting, I have no confidence of asking money to gamble. This shouldn't be removed from everyone's personal list.

I am disciplined enough to stop so, whether I set a limit or not. What matters to me is I control my emotion and I can do whatever I want and whenever I want to stop.

Yup, I'd still do that but with moderation as wealth from gambling can easily be gone without discipline. So, being wise with the money that I've won, I'll put that into investments and businesses but I'll still take a little amount from it to gamble.

It usually feels bad because we always expect to walk away with a win, but once you have a low enough bankroll it becomes easier to let go of most losses and emphasize the fun side of gambling.

I sometimes do the same and use my winnings to buy the things I like. I would also spend it to pay my monthly bills or use it for groceries, I wouldn't hesitate to spend it in a way that would save me money on other stuff.

I'd likely gamble again because the entertainment experience that gambling provides is something i'd always enjoy.

I don’t feel anything when I see women gambling. I feel it's their life and money and so I don’t care. I don`t segregate between a male and a female gambler and so it becomes normal for me to see a woman gambling.



I am very pissed off when I see someone losing badly and yet refusing to stop. Like why would you put your hands in fire and refuse to remove it even when it is hurting? Such gamblers can easily transfer aggression to another person and so I am very careful with them.



I feel bad even though I always gamble with what I can afford to lose. Sometimes, my mood is not because of the amount I lost but because it is a good feeling when you win.


It depends on the amount. However, most times when I win, I pay bills and chill with friends.


I don’t give people money to gamble. If you ever mention to me that the reason for asking me for money is to gamble, I will not give. I don’t encourage people to borrow money to gamble.


I always set a budget for myself but I must say I don’t stick to the budget all the time.


Even if I become the world`s richest man, I will still gamble. I gamble for fun and I cannot stop having fun because I am rich.

Like I said yesterday, I will be answering these questions in twos to avoid cumbersomeness. This is the next two.

I have read the context of gambling loss and fun many times and my conclusion is that it is all about your disposition about gambling. Indeed, gambling could be done for fun and it could be done for the money, nand if you played games for fun, you will surely not feel it when you lose, but of course, if you gamble for the money, you will feel hurt when you lose the money. Again, those who are gambling for the fun are not using big money for it which is one of the main differences here, and if you are gambling for the fun, ensure you use a ridiculous amount of money for it, and this amount should have been well-budgeted and the mode of spending it must have been well-calculated even before you visit the gambling house or opened the gambling platform.

And if it is for the money, just gamble right and plan your gambling very well with a very managed portfolio so that it will not hurt you. Most people who pretend to gamble for fun could be hurt because the sincerity is not there but you can only pretend to people you, can never pretend to yourself. It will definitely show in the form of pain. That's normal

To be honest with you, my friend, I do not know how I spent my gambling winnings, I do not even take any inventory of it because I have never taken gambling so seriously to avoid psychological issues. And since I do not depend on it for the money, it makes it easier for me. Still, what I normally do that I can remember now is that I have some treats with gambling money at times instead of using the money in my bank account. This is especially true when I am broke or do not want to touch the money in my bank account due to lack of excess money to spare.

Also, when I lose in my casino accounts or want to fund a newly opened gambling account, I do not use the money in my bank account but the ones in my sports betting account. With these, I think I am doing just fine with the money.

I also have never seen young girls who engage in gambling physically, but on gambling or betting social groups, like on WhatsApp and telegram, even Facebook, I usually come across profiles of supposedly young beautiful girls who supposedly are into gambling.
I honestly do not feel  anything about this, since I simply assume it's their basic right, there was never a time it was made as a rule that, gambling was only meant for men, women too can gamble as long as they learn to keep to the limit and never risk above what they can comfortably afford to lose.


I honestly don't pity gambling addicts, if any thing, they actually amuze me, most gambling addicts become addict not by mistake, but by their very own actions born out of greed, no body is ever forced into gambling, people gamble on their own will and terms.
So, for anyone who gets addicted to it, it's simply the result of their own actions and I honestly don't pity such persons.


Gambling itself is supposed to always be a fun venture,  but it's rather unfortunate that majority of gamblers have turned gambling into something they do to earn money.
I personally always try my best to stay within my limit, and each time I lose money that I can afford to lose to gambling, I honestly don't feel a thing, because the amount is always so insignificant to me, so, even if I had the intention of winning, but I end up not winning, I simply just move on to the next bet or simply relax for that time being, there is absolutely no need crying over a milk that is already spilled - right?.


I don't gamble with dept, and no one has ever asked a loan from me to use for gambling, I won't give that person such a loan, for it is absolutely irresponsible to gamble with money that is borrowed.
I have witnessed a case where a fight broke out in a casino because some one played a bet on credit, he lost the bet and then refused to pay the cashier, the cashier insisting on collecting the money for the bet, a fight broke out between them and from what seemed like a minor thing, two lifes were lost in the process.

Probably for some beginners in gambling, taking debt is a big NO. However, for those who have been gambling in years and have already developed addiction, taking debt is very welcome for them. That’s why a lot of addicted gamblers drown into debt, not because they’re unable to pay, but because they have put in mind that gambling can be a reliable source of income to pay their debts when in reality, it’s not.

I might be addicted into gambling somehow but at the end of the day, I still manage not to cross my betting budget and limit my expenses and losses as well. But taking debt just to gamble, I will never do that. However, when it comes to investment, taking a loan is acceptable as long as you’re able to pay and you have your stable job that will back up you when your investment does not work based on planned.

👉how do you feel when peopel ask you for money to gamble?, do you gamble with debt?  Or would you never indulge in such no matter how sure you are about the game ?
Gambling with loan money is suicide and its never been that good or recommended on doing so. You would be making your life miserable
because losing that loan money will surely lose in the end. So thats a double problem for you.

👉Do you set rules or limits on how much you stake per week to control your addiction or you are disciplinedenough to know when to stop?
Control is recommended but people would really be only be making such action on the time that they would really be on a tough situation
or on the time that they do get addicted.

👉behind the mask of loving to gamble if you get rich would you still gamble or never again?
Gamble for fun, If you do have the money then why not? Moderation would be always the key.

Well, if you have read some story from the forum. There were gamblers that have loaned just for them to gamble.

It's hard to imagine but there certainly are people that can do such if they are desperate from doing so. But for me, as I have said, I won't do it because I know the consequences of it.

It's best to gamble with your own money and it doesn't matter if you lose because you can just leave it like that and won't think of any loan to pay later on.

Well I would say this thread is massive and has cut across so many dimensions of how we see things work around us.
But in my own view I'm seeing all of this so fascinating especially women gambling by not wanting to show out their identify to the public. It's more or less better of that way,for me I wouldn't want to gamble or bet in a public place as to be an example to my subordinate or offsprings,so I would prefer doing it online and booking games and it has helped me a lot,so most women too like myself do same also.

In the aspect of notorious gamblers I would adhere to the fact that they are being irresponsible with their dealings with funds and not minding what the outcome may be,and they are the masterpiece of their decision making so wherever action taken irrespective of that would be of great damage and loss to themselves and not anyone else.
So it's better of they be discipline with finances as pertaining that.

Then in regards to how I spend my gambling wins..its something have made up my mind to do.whenever I make a win instead of using it for refreshments and merriments I  prefer investing it,and which has helped me in so many ways and I know in the long run it will fetch me a huge some that will make me to stop gambling at a point.
Sometimes when I'm out of funds  for gambling or betting I become relax cause I have a lot working for me and I keep a low but when my stipends percentage for it arrives I do so.i do all of this because I don't spend all my wins,I save them and invest for the future .

yeah right, When you don't feel comfortable playing, you can't focus and you don't realize that you lose your focus, you lose playing and you can't do what you need to do correctly. There are times when we can focus on gambling especially if the place is quiet and peaceful and not crowded, that is one of the reasons I see why the number of gamblers who gamble through online gambling sites has increased, especially those gamblers who have a privilege and a good place inside their house, that's where they sit to be able to gamble well.

Well, I have seen women gambling in a bet shop on a various occasions and also see them working as agents in a betting shops but this is actually not a very common case as compared to men. Many factors contribute to the limited participation of women in gambling such as shyness and dependency. Women are naturally a shy type and can not withstand the crowd in a betting shops where men usually see as a place of relaxation. Women are also dependent on their parents or spouse with less freedom unlike men that can make decisions for themselves and move freely unchecked or with less supervision.


Money is not being plug from trees, we work hard to get this money and as such, one must definitely feel sad when they are lost. Feeling bad about losing the money to gambling doesn't mean you're lying to yourself. You can of course enjoy the fun of gambling despite losing money and this is the reason you are recommend to gamble with amount that you won't feel too bad when you lose it.

This is actually interesting thread for discussion but unfortunately, it's Monday morning and Monday is for works.
