Topic: Do you think women will make better gamblers by their nature? - page 14. (Read 1951 times)

there is no guarantee that female gamblers cannot become addicted.
as we know basically, anyone who has entered the world of gambling and does not have good self control will definitely have destruction in managing their money in life, such as in some cases where initially a famous male gambler has a very big responsibility when gambling in the long term when something went wrong he lost control and lost a lot of money and lost all his savings.
for example, a gambler who has a big responsibility in gambling after several years and one day experiences disappointment when he loses his chance of winning when victory is in sight, finally his emotions take over his mind and he tries to chase his losses.

it's all about how strong a mindset is to face every temptation in gambling. because after a gambler enters into gambling, there will definitely be a lot of temptations from losing or winning which can make a gambler lose control and end up addicted, not only a man but a female gambler can lose self control even though women are always famous for good money management. but everything will be destroyed when you experience greed when you win or regret when you lose too big.
so in conclusion, all female and male gamblers can be healthy gamblers as long as they have a mature mindset.

I have seen women addicted to drugs, pornography and others, so gambling might not be an exception. Anybody can be addicted regardless of the gender. It is generally believed that women are better managers but this is not also the case at all times because there are some women that are big wasters. You assumption that women might be more conservative with finds is because we have more male gamblers, so you it is easy to make such conclusions.

From the original post, the author is not referring to who is a better gambler than male and female. He argues that who is a more responsible gambler between the two sexes? He assumes that women have more tendency to control their gambling activities because they are naturally conservative which will make them less likely to suffer from gambling addiction. But you are correct that men are more knowledgeable about gambling and they will always be better gamblers. I have never seen a top gambler who is a female, maybe it is because gambling is seen as a male's field.

It's true that women are more responsible and disciplined than men, but still, it depends on the people themselves. There are women who are also gambling addicts, so I don't think gender will be based on who is a better gambler. But for the sake of the question, maybe women will be more responsible in gambling and can limit its expenses, but the down side is, yeah, you are right, women are more fragile than men, so they tend to not be able to handle the stress and anxiety caused by losing money in gambling.

I don't know; maybe there is a statistic about who is better at gambling or a better gambler, but it will depend on what field, whether it is better at handling its emotions, money management, thinking and paying gambling games, or who is wiser when it comes to manipulating its mind in gambling. We never know.

I don't think so? I don't mean to disrespect women, but based on what I see, they are too fragile and they may not be able to handle the problem in case they have. But, in terms of money, women are probably more likely to be manageable in handling finances than men. Sometimes, women are very strict about their money and they don't easily fall in their emotions unlike some men who's very indecisive when it comes to their decisions in gambling. Honestly, I don't really like having a comparison because I believe that all of us has our own way to become a better person and gambler.

Yeah, I saw more women, from the legal age up to maybe some who are in their 80's who still loves to play and chase win and gamble to a landbase casinos. At least this is what I always witnessed when I did go out and play on traditional casinos.

As for the question whether they could be a good gambler, I think it doesn't matter. It just boils down as whether you play for fun and try to look for your luck. So they might have not taking a big risk in gambling, but still the same though, if we are unlucky then you are going to lose whichever your gender is.

We all have opinions, but please stick to yours, and I will stick to mine. The system benefits both genders, but only a small percentage of the population is able to utilize advantage of it. To clarify things, gambling is not a constant system through which we should put all of our efforts and dreams because there is plenty that we can gain but there are also substantial losses. Emotion and luck play a role on both sides; the space is all about fairness, which will be ensured by both genders. Women are not designed to be in the system in the first place; they're vulnerable to a lot of things, and I don't believe most of them will survive.

I think regardless of gender it's all the same. It's all about emotions and luck that emotion and luck does not define any gender. Do you agree with me? Though this is just my personal opinion but yeah it's all about fairness.

I used to remember this saying that WHAT A MAN CAN DO, A WOMAN CAM DO BETTER. These days, I don't really see such characteristics in the women anymore. Most women are no longer hardworking and always depend on the man. Okay back to your question. In most society, woman who gamble are highly discouraged and not acceptable. They considered as I'll responsible and not fit to be a wife. If a woman for example gambles, what reason would make her not be as good as a man? She's also a human being who is able to think and understand so if she goes into gamble she will also be able to win and play the same way as a man does. Being a man doesn't make you better at gambling. Just that no body will question your actions compared to that of a woman whom every one will be surprised to know that she too gambles.

Do you still believe about such stereotype in this modern era?

Women spend their money to buy skincare, trendy outfit, following anything currently hype, buy expensive foods etc.
While men spend their money to buy insanely expensive stuff related to their hobby, it could be car, video games, high end PC, etc.

Gender isn't matter when it comes to money management, that really depend on how good you control yourself and delay your gratification.

Is it really true that women are more conservative than men's! Even if this is true I don't think it's gonna work on the sector of gambling. Because there is also many reason for that the women can perform more worser than men's. Because they are more emotional from the men's. And it can be more dangerous when gambling

I disagree!
Many say that women are better at this or that compared to men, but my opinion is that they have been very stereotyped over time, at the same time that they have also suffered a lot of prejudice in relation to gambling.
Therefore, when we see a wet girl playing we still think... she must not know much about what she is doing, so she should take it easy in the game, take less risks... pure nonsense.

Just like anyone, there are women who are hopelessly addicted to gambling and we also have several examples of fantastic women.

It is not because of their caution, but because they decided to overcome prejudice, that I mention three great women who left a legacy and paved the way for the women we have today in gambling:

• Shirley Brancucci, first female Baccarat dealer in Las Vegas. Although she proved her skills as a dealer, she suffered prejudice because she was a woman and was subject to objectification;
• Judy Bayley, also known as the First Lady of Gambling, was the first woman owner of a major casino in Las Vegas;
• Claudine Williams was the first woman to be inducted into the Nevada Gambling Hall of Fame.

That is exactly the reason why I think women are better gamblers than men. They are less likely to become impulsive, since they are risk averse, so there are less chances they are going to become problem gamblers. To be prone taking risks isn't an assurance of being a successful gambler. In many cases it just means the person can't self-regulate himself and don't know when to stop. That is actually a very dangerous trait someone carries.

Women can be successful gamblers just by being long term players without compromising and losing control over their personal and family's finances. Successful gambler isn't exactly who achieves profit, otherwise we could consider only a very small percentage of gamblers to be successful, rather a successful gambler is someone who manages playing casually, but never exceedind the limits stipulated by them before the gambling session started.

By nature, women are risk averse, they have this in built in their DNA, they prefer to avoid or minimize exposure to risk. So I don't think that they will be successful gamblers if they don't want to take that risk and instead be as conservative as they can.

We've heard a lot of stories that there are gamblers who hit big with their last money on the line, do you think women will do that when they know that they are already down and then thinking of minimizing their losses? And then you have to understand first why women are into gambling in the first place to know how they are going to take that risk/reward ratio.

It's probably not about the gender. There are less women gamblers than men gamblers but it isn't really because women are more careful about resources than men. It's simply because our society remains highly patriarchal. Women are frowned upon when they are seen in gambling houses. Although this is no longer prevalent in advanced societies, this is still very noticeable in many countries.

Gamblers vary mainly according to character. It's not gender that is the main factor.

It's just the same. There are men who are good at financial management too and some even studied it in school. We cannot use gender differences when it comes to gambling because both can be emotional and may fail to control themselves to either chase losses or be greedy.

Maybe you just grew up with a woman doing all the thing about the home budget and everything financially but I did grow up with a man doing all that. It might just be the same unless the other one has a bad history of gambling addiction.
It's true that most women do love handling the responsibilities when it comes to money but I know some men too. Here in our house, I handle it all because my wife doesn't want the burden of doing all the calculations and paying the bills and mortgage. Am I a better gambler? I don't think so. This kind of question is case to a case basis and there's a chance some women are more prone to addiction rather than being disciplined.

Naturally, it's assumed that women are more intelligent and smart than men, but this doesn't apply to gambling because every individual is responsible for his or her actions. No matter the characteristics of a woman, she can't be a better gambler than a man. There are certain things that are obviously left for men to partake in, and gambling is one of them. Though there are some feminists who believe in equality and thereby partake in almost everything men do, it's never possible for women to be better gamblers than men, including the point listed by Oilacris.
 
In a nutshell, it's not about gender but about individuality. Your gender does not guarantee that you will be better than others.

Your theory on women being more conservative and a better manager of resources, knowing how to prioritize things can very well be arguable. There may be surveys backing your theory but there are also surveys that says women spend more money than men as well as a slight majority of purchases done anywhere are being influenced by women.

I don’t think one could make a better gambler and have more wins just cause the person is careful and manages available resources well. Certainly, such individuals would be very responsible while gambling.

In having chances, I don't think that there's gender bias on it. When luck comes to someone, it doesn't choose a gender on where it comes. But I don't know if it's just a coincidence that it happened for some women that I've seen that they've become lucky with their bets.
Well, it's not a thing actually because sometimes we're lucky and most of the times we're just a bunch of losers trying to chase our loses.

With the stats that we see coming from online and offline casinos, there are more men gamblers than women and that means that I think that there are more lucky men gamblers than of the women and that's why we're multiplying and the interest of other women aren't really with gambling and that's why we see only few of them.

While it’s true that some studies suggest women tend to be more conservative and better at managing resources, these traits do not necessarily translate to being better at gambling. What makes a better gambler is likely more dependent on their attributes, experience, and approach to risk rather than their gender. Everyone, regardless of gender, can bring unique qualities to the table when it comes to gambling. It’s not accurate or fair to generalize that one gender would be inherently better at gambling than the other. Each individual’s abilities and experiences can significantly influence their gambling behavior.

In what aspect? How do you evaluate this or what do you think women are aware of in terms of gambling that men are not? Do you think women can bear more lost than men, and is gambling just all about the loses or do you think women can guess right more than men will. I don't think Bitcoin is anyway associated with gender-specific traits.

To say the least is for you to mention that women are probably more knowledgeable than men which is not a fact anywhere as far as my knowledge and research is concerned. If that's the case, then all you need to attain mastery or become victorious about gambling is your strategy, discipline and understanding of odds.


I agree with you on your last paragraph. If women are to indulge into gambling as men do, I feel like they may fall victim of addiction since the games are generally addictive and women seems to be more emotionally attached to things they desire than men do. So, there is no gender-specific traits to gambling and it is an oversimplification to say women will make better gamblers than men.
