Yeah, I think man has more ego and pride whenever they are losing they won't quit until they win or try to recover their loss. This can be applied to gambling since it's a 50/50 chance where it's a win or lose. Women can accept loss as some of them have the mindset of "it is what it is" It's like once gambling experience where the man would go back to take revenge or to win again. Still, I think when it comes to gambling gender doesn't matter as every person has a unique personality and attitude. Even a man can handle their emotions and a woman can still gamble again, so in short, it depends on the person how to handle risk management whether they are a man or a woman.
I'm really learning from gambling with different opinions and posts that I'm seeing a about gambling. So pride and loss now have a relationship with a man, wonderful!!! I don't think no one enjoy loss and it has nothing to do with pride, if pride is what precede your decision in gambling then I must say that the person has poor management of bankroll because you will fall back to nothing if you don't put some things into consideration, if you don't take caution, you will not last in gambling.
I'm not sure about general opinion about men and women opinion about pride but women have more pride than men. I think what you wanted to say is that women has more tears than men and they are careful on how they spend and when you put fear before gambling, it will be difficult for you to make a harsh decisions that will not favour you and that is what I think will make women better gamblers than men.
Basically there is nothing better at gambling between men and women, it's not about women being calmer and being able to control themselves, it's just because men are a lot of players and generally our gaze will be focused on men, in my opinion that's the same as women
OP awareness might be subjective to what he has seen I think and it is because we have few women that gamble, unlike the men. We have people that are very good in gambling among the men, we have bad gamblers among the men and we have average among the men but you can't say the same for the ladies. It might be that OP saw few women that won gambling and was convinced to say what he said about women and gambling.
