Just a normal scene in gambling to see women. Just be used to it.

I understand that maybe in some places, women are not seen usually involved in gambling but that should be normal.


If we will be based on the cover of the book, that's our usual impression of those types of people.

 But are you sure they are chasing their losses? Maybe you are right about most gamblers there but still, there are addicted and notorious gamblers but not show any shitty attitude outside their gambling activity.

Are they irresponsible to their families? No one knows unless you will personally investigate their lives.


It's hypocritical for a gambler to say that it's fun losing the money even if they afford to lose that amount.

Honestly, I also don't see women from my country playing on slot machines, but I see a lot of men playing, there are a lot of men surrounding the slot machine because they all want to be the first to play, that's probably why women from my country stay away from the slot machines in my country, they may not feel very comfortable fighting with men to be able to play, and another thing that I noticed is that women in my country play the lottery, and they do it for the possibility that in the lottery people buy a ticket that has a very low cost and they win a lot of money if they are lucky enough to get the ticket right, women have more ambition to always want more


I see these guys as being very irresponsible people, when they take money to pay bills and take it to play, then they are no longer responsible people and they become people who have problems with gambling and need help from a doctor to cure this addiction, that's it. becomes a case of serious illness that needs urgent treatment, some people may think that taking the money intended to pay bills and taking it to play in a casino is something normal, but it is not normal, when this level of irresponsibility is reached then the person is addicted to gambling


I feel bad, but I don't chase losses because before playing I draw up my entire game plan, I created my limits that I don't break, I follow my bankroll management. but I'm not happy with losses, I don't see how anyone could be happy losing


Every time I won a lot I always took it out of my country's bank account and bought things I like, I've been doing this to always remember the good times when I won a lot, I think it's a good thing that I do that. because this way, at least when I have sequences of losses that make me sad, all this sadness disappears when I win a lot and withdraw it to my bank account and use it in the real world, gambling is something very difficult to win, so we have to enjoy when we win a lot


I definitely wouldn't lend money to someone to play, I already did that in the past and regretted it, not because of the money I offered it to him, but because I made the person start overdoing the games and I had no way to stop him.


Yes, I have always set a weekly and monthly limit on the amount of money I can use to play and I don't go beyond that limit, I think it is very important to set that limit, of course when I win a lot in a month then I increase the limit, that way I can grow my bankroll


If I were rich I would continue playing with small amounts as I have always done, I place sports bets because I like it

No body ask me for money to gamble and that is wrong to do. If you want to gamble then you have to use your money to do that and bear the consequences either for winning or losing.


Never to do that because you there is no guarantee to win. Gamble with money you can afford to lose.


This is the best way to get good gambling habit. Setting limit is already what is connected with discipline, if you are not discipline even if you set limit, you will violent it by gambling beyond the limit when you are at lose.


Those who feel that gambling is for fun may perhaps keep gambling despite the outcome in riches but for those seeking profit alone may discontinue if they get rich through gambling.

I don't lie to myself. When I say It was for fun, it is the truth. It is because I don't make big bets in the first place. Let's say I made a $10 bet and lost. That's nothing for me. Why would I be lying If I lost that $10 and still had some fun doing it? I could have bought something equally silly for that $10 (like drinking a few beers) and it would have made a difference. People spend money on silly stuff all the time. The reason is they want to have fun. If you are an investor, that may sound weird to you because investors usually don't purchase silly stuff. Real wealthy people don't show off. They drive Toyota Camry's and live in small flats. Even these people want to have fun every once in a while and gambling is one of the most entertaining way of having fun.

Once a gambler always a gambler as that old saying goes.Of course though once you get rich you would think twice to gamble again as from your gambling experience you would have come to some conclusions which overall you would be losing money in the long run and getting rich is something that happens extremely rarely.I personally would stop gambling right away though as I know people who have won lotteries of multi million dollars and still managed to ruin their lives because of their gambling addiction,bad friendship and relatives and many other things that impacted their life,so once you get rich put the money in the bank and call it a day.

since the development of technology in my area there are a small number of women who gamble, even in open places they gamble playing slots and there are also women who play slots from home without showing their activities and it's all about whether they think about anonymity which provides many benefits.
a female gambler who prefers to gamble at home has many benefits to be kept away from robbery when there is one of the criminals who knows that winnings from gambling is an option.

never thought about anything because it was none of my business and it was his own choice.
whatever the gambler does must have been planned beforehand and we all don't know whether they really lost a large amount or only lost a small portion for them and for us the amount is too large.
it's not good to have prejudice against other gamblers and just let them continue to gamble in their own way.

every gambler will not be a hypocrite because all professional gamblers or ordinary gamblers, even gambling addicts, still want to win and losing money is something to regret.
but there is a difference if you just bet for fun and try your luck with money you can afford to lose, of course the regret is only temporary.

uncertain and depends on the situation.
When I get a big win and at that time I or my family don't need anything, I usually invest it in BTC. but if when I win I need something very important, I will use it to buy something that is really needed.

if a friend asks for a loan to gamble I will say "we better be friends in a better way"
this means that money can ruin anyone's friendships and even money can ruin a sibling so you will never lend money to anyone if you use it for gambling.
I may have done this in the past but after I got better I never did something bad like this again.

I did both, limiting and being disciplined according to the rules that I had planned beforehand.
only in this way can I bet comfortably without having any burdens.

Is gambling only used for poor people?
well, that's the answer because for me gambling is a place to find fun and try your luck and if one day you become very rich, you will still gamble, just stick to the limits you have planned.

I don't see anything wrong in women gambling, the fact is that ladies that I came across that gambles, only gamble when they have a game sent to them by their game provider, because they are gambling for profit. I don't think that they will get addicted from what I saw because they just do it once in a while. When I asked her why she gambles, she said she needs money but not with all eagerness.

If it is the amount that I cannot afford to lose, I do feel bad, but if it is the amount that I can afford to lose, I don't care about it, because it is fine.

It depends. If I win big, I will use it for something valuable, but if it is a small win, I will use it to gamble.

I don't give people money to gamble, because I already know that you want to use the money on something that you will not win, and I will help the gambler not to gamble if I am the only one that can give if such money. Anyone that take loan to gamble is not gambling responsible, and either he is already an addict, or will finally become an addict. This is because he cannot control himself, no money, don't gamble.

I am not discipline enough to quit the game, but I have a gamble budget that whenever it has been exhausted, I don't gamble anymore, or whenever I have a straight three losses, I quit the game.

Since I gamble for fun, if I become rich, I will continue gambling. It is if I hit the jackpot, and become rich with gambling, that I will not gamble again, but once in a while.

I view them as normal gamblers that also takes the same risks as men. I don't view gamblers based on their gender at all.


They are, IMO, people who have relied too much on the promises of riches offered by gambling that they lost sense of reality and have staked everything and lost everything. They deserve a second chance if they can acknowledge that they are the problem and not their luck.


Never really staked a huge amount ever. Most of what I spent on gambling are considered for fun or to kill time. It is only recently that I have decided to gamble for profit and try my luck more seriously.


It stays in my account to fund my future sessions. If there is any excess, I withdraw it and just keep it as btc.


I usually tell people that I don't have any money when they're borrowing, especially if I know that that person is just going to gamble and not really do anything important with the money. As for gambling with debt, that is an absurd idea that I would never even thought of when gambling. You're just digging an even deeper hole when you gamble with money that came from debt.


Yes. For more than 3 years, I have limited myself to only $20 per week on casino games. Just compute how much I lost in the span of that 3 years and that may be everything I have ever lost in gambling.


Of course! I might consider high stakes gambling if I get rich for the thrill and the lulz but of course, with limits and awareness.

Well, all these are the issues affecting a lot of gambling activities in our world today. Ranging from religious beliefs, gender inequality and addiction. Gambling like other Normal activities in so many society is seen an illicit activity and so many people are against it.as for women in gambling, I don't think there should be any problem with that. So long she is able to carry along her responsibilities as a woman and not over Shadow them in the name of gambling then shes fine. But in our society, most women who gamble are seen as irresponsible and not fit to be wife's.
Notorious gaming to me, is a wrong means for gambling which at the end, lead to addiction or issues that may affect you in real life.
I'm gambling, no one will be happy to loss money, that's why it's adviced to only gamble what you can afford to loss.itsnnot funny actually when you loss any gamble.

👉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 ?
Getting loans for you to gamble? You are doing suicide. Only make use of the amount on which you can afford to lose. Dont expect about sure win because
everything would matter with luck.

👉Do you set rules or limits on how much you stake per week to control your addiction or you are disciplined enough to know when to stop?
All matters with self control and discipline because if you cant do such thing then expect for failures.


👉behind the mask of loving to gamble if you get rich would you still gamble or never again?
I do still play but of course im already that wary on making use of the amount of winnings on the proper or right way.

It is true that I usually see male gamblers in these stores, but when you go online you can see many female nicknames. I'm not sure about the reason. Maybe it's simply that many male gamblers use feminine names in order to trick other users. Maybe because cultural reasons, but I think that there is a clear gender gap in this industry.


I feel bad, and that's why I bet little, even when I'm mentally prepared for the loss on beforehand.



I would NEVER gamble with other people's money, so don't count on me to lend you money for that.


I don't gamble weekly so I don't set rules or limits in that way. But every time I decide to gamble I set a limit and stick to it no matter what.


If I got rich I would definitely gamble more. For example, I'd visit Las Vegas, which is not currently in my plans.

You have answer on the other question somI decided to just answer the last 3 questions that newly added on this thread. First this one.

Of course no one like people asking money for gambling since he should earn it by himself if he want to gamble. I never gamble with debt because I never ask loan for gambling.


I’m disciplined enough to know when to stop because I only use campaign earnings for gambling so I have a very limited bankroll that being addicted is almost impossible now.


Gambling is a source of entertainment for rich people because it promise a high chance of lose to players. I’m not gambling because I want to get rich so I will still gamble more frequently when I’m rich because I have a lot to spend. Fingers crossed!

I know this is often questioned whether they really feel happy when they lose, in fact when people gamble just for fun they usually limit their budget properly or indeed the money they lose is ready to be lost, so of course there is no feeling of annoyance or even the slightest disappointment because they play for fun and not to make money so you can't lie, their feelings won't be the same as gamblers who are looking for money, obviously it's different when people gamble to make money, usually they will feel disappointed because they are playing with unlimited money and also money they are not prepared to lose. Personally, and in my view, that's how they feel, they won't be disappointed when they lose, let alone lie to themselves.


Yes and it's not more than $100 and indeed I only gamble on weekends because on weekdays I'm busy working and spend little time with my family, so I only gamble on weekends so I still have lots of time for my family and having fun with what I want to do includes gambling, I have done that consistently in the past few months because I believe that this can prevent me from being addicted to gambling, that's why I give my wife the trust to set my budget every weekend for gambling because she has to know my habits gamble. Being honest with our partner will enable us to play more responsibly.

I'd certainly look twice, but that's it. They're rare, yes, but that doesn't mean I'd judge them for gambling.
Irresponsible yep. Pity? That ain't going to change people, especially ones that brought it upon themselves. The only party here that's worthy of pity is whoever is going to be affected by the wasteful spending of said gambler.

Frustrated ofc. I gamble for fun, yes, aka I'm not necessarily chasing big wins or big money, but that doesn't mean that I don't want to win lol. In gambling winning = getting money because that's how it was designed so it can't be helped that they're associated together, but that doesn't necessarily mean that I want to win cause I want to chase money, I want to win simply because I want to win.

I leave it in my gambling account and just add whatever amount is missing from my regular deposits and use it to play. It may change if I ever win a pretty big amount, not to the point of life changing but probably at least 10x of my usual deposit? At that point I'd probably withdraw and treat myself to something good or whatever I want at the time.

I politely tell them no while probably cursing them a bunch of times about taking loans to gamble lol. As for debts, big no.

Yes. I've done and told this in the past, still continuing to do so to this date.

I'd probably still gamble every now and then. Probably will do a bunch of other stuff first though since hey, I'm rich.


I don't think that's possible. I'd probably either make multiple posts instead every now and then if you segregate them or just ask a general purpose question for every categorization.

Hahah, that's funny coincidence!  Maybe Sunday prayers and sporty bets go hand in hand for her. 


I can't say I have. Those are not really my inner circle. Gambling addiction is a tough one - people can be defensive.  Your experience sounds typical though.

Female gamblers are not much in my area but the few I know are extremely lucky. There is a kind of gamble that is popular here and there good participation of women but the number is insignificant when compared to men. Where you see more women in the gambling business is as staff in physical shops. Most of the workers in casinos in my area are women and sometimes they do gamble but not as much as the men.

They actually bring bad image to gambling. They make people see gambling for the wrong reasons and that is not something good for the gambling community. Such people need help and the first help they should seek is to stop gambling and focus on other ways of earning income.

Sometimes winning will come as long as it is gambling. A gambler is already accustomed to losses, it is nothing new so there is no need of feeling bad for a long time, just a short period of bad feelings that goes away easily as one prepare for the next round of gambling. Drawing gambling plans require that plans are made to also compensate for the losses that will surely come irrespective of how uncomfortable they make the gambler.

I've added some edits to it, sorry guys fir not adding them earlier, those questions just came up now, of you have any controversial question you can also tell me to add it up, let's have fun.

Only honest opinion don't be shy if your views are different, it's just a fun thread, you can add suggestions to the topic.

Is there any way to allow the topic to be editable by everyone.
Little help here.

I really don’t care personally about the gender since I don’t interact with them and as a gambler that’s their choice to gamble so we don’t have a say on what they really like because being a woman is not a disadvantage or disability to be considered when gambling.


I don’t view them as irresponsible. Maybe that’s their own way on spending their money. Yeah it’s really irresponsible if we view it but that’s his money so we don’t have the right to dictate him how to properly spend his own.


Mix feeling, I will first feel bad about my loss since it’s money that I earn through labor but I cope up easily since I only use an amount that I afford to lose. The fun part comes later after I cope up because I think about strategies and what if’s idea on my previous game.

I sent it to my wife bank account. Seeing her happy is already enough for me to satisfied myself from my gambling win. 

I am actually indifferent about it. Like, I do not see them any different than I see their male counterpart. The society is more accepting of them and no one is bullying them for it. It is fine as long as they do it responsibly.

What I feel for them is not pity but empathy. I try to put myself in their shoes and I know that if they have and apply the knowledge I have on responsible gambling they will be better. They will be able to fix their lives.

Naturally, you , anyone would feel terrible about it. I'd be surprise if no one feels any negative emotions after a  gambling loss irrespective of the circumstance of the loss. Whether the money was the one you could afford to lose or not.

I sort out some personal issues if there are any. If there is none I get something nice for myself. I invest a portion of it back into gambling. Is there is anything left to save, I do it.

I have seen a lot of women gambling but they are usually few comparing to the number of men even withnessed while gambling.
Psychologically, the women are not so proud of being gamblers because they consciously feels it is a hard game that is best fit for men. Some sees it to be an Irresponsible activities but due to the fact that it has a potential profit values they don't mind playing it just to make the money.
Among all the women I have seen gambling no one has ever gambled for fun as we may always say that gambling should be a game for fun and not chasing profits. So these women are mostly stranded and frustrated while gambling, some are tearful after loosing their funds.
Most of them uses the money given to them by their husbands to buy foods for the family to eat and play and at end they looses it all.
Some are their investments funds so they insight to bet and have more money to expand their business and at the cost they looses it all
Women in gambling are more loosed to Irresponsible gambling than the men but you would never know.
They take out of shame and pretends like nothing happened at the moment they are still in the gambling hall. Although I have not seen a women having a private online with her phone but usually the physical store gambling where you have to be attended by a gambling shop representative counter persons.
So, I  have heard of lot of women running astray, commiting suicides and I have also heard of women depositing her child of 9months to the gambling shop so that she could go and look for money to pay her debts after betting til she was indebted to the sum of money she could not afford to pay after playing and did not win.

I take the blame to the gamblers without a pity because their eagerness of chasing after profits and ignorant that they are loosing more than they can afford to loose is not an excuse. Instead I feels for the family because it brings amount shame to them with the fact that they can not reach out to their needs affect the gambler who was supposed to be responsible to afford them those needs has lost his minds at lavishing this hard earned incomes in gambling while chasing more money. So I would address such a gambler to be a greedy one and no pity for him but his family.

If I must chase after profit while gambling of course I would feel bad like I have lost a valuable but of I am gaming for fun I would just feel like I have lost the round and not being lucky for the day. Maybe I would project other days for a return match with all efforts to win back but not at the cost of staking continuously until I counts winning.
As much as I am gambling for fun winning and loosing do age funs out of it final rounds so, I would take it likely if I have to loose while gambling.
This is usually when I stick with a budget that... Yeah, this fun is deposited for funs while I gambles, I don't think to having it back after staking and loosing but if I can get it back maybe with interest then I am a lucky one.


If I win-win the gambling I would utilize the fund as my valuable funds while I mains my gambling roles and budgets.
There would not be a different way of spending my gambling winnings other than my normal days expenditures.
