Topic: Do you think women will make better gamblers by their nature? - page 4. (Read 2307 times)

Generally it's like that, women obviously always try to avoid risks, because they tend to think more rationally and always consider their safety. This is different from men who prefer challenging things that can stimulate their adrenaline, so they are braver in taking risks. However, this still does not rule out the possibility that a woman will be involved in gambling, because talking about the courage to take a risk, this is an ability that can be learned and possessed by every individual.


Gambling is a form of entertainment, created for all groups, both men and women, and both young and old. It's just that because this gambling is mostly played by men, it seems as if this gambling is intended for men only.
And that is an unwritten requirement before someone actually continues into the world of gambling, and registers on an online casino platform or visits a certain land-based casino and bets there. Namely, having full awareness of the gambling you do, knowing the risks and negative impacts of gambling, having good self-control and emotions, and also having good financial management. So that when it is felt that the person has, knows and understands the things I mentioned, both men and women, everyone can join in gambling and bet on it.

although it's not really their nature to gamble because of how some of them seems to be meticulous with spending their hard earned money, being good at gambling isn't basically gender related.

I don't subscribe to women going into gambling regardless of the possibility of them being good at it.  If a man gets addicted in the process of gambling, the wife can easily bring him back to his senses but when a woman goes this part, it will tear the marriage and home apart if care is not taken.

Your analysis on factors to consider first before deciding who will better gambling decisions I think is absolutely right but I think there's something you're probably not admitting here and that is the fact that women are naturally more terrible in decision making when it comes to gambling.
Women in their nature are easily tensed and finds it very difficult to control their emotions when they're losing money that's why in the world of gambling, it's majorly regarded as an engagement for men because of the fact that men are usually better in controlling their emotions even when they're losing huge sum of money.


However because of the exposure of 21st century women, gambling is longer regarded as a one gender engagement as many young women of today now excel and succeed in gambling but not matter how good the tend to be, I still do not think that women will make a better gamblers than men any day any time

I'm yet to come across a gender based gambling forum or casino so by implications I wouldn't agree with you that gambling was or has always been for men, it's usually been populated by men as they are the ones who has mostly picked interest in it and not the feminine gender but there has been no restrictions in that regards.

The restrictions on gambling has always been based on aga and never on gender, there are woman who are very disciplined and have made a good career gambling, because they haven't been able to subject their feminine tendencies under much control and thst has given them an edge over other women who may want to venture in to gambling, there one thing about women and that's the fact they they take moat things to the extreme when they venture into it unlike men who would want to subject everything to much more control and that could be an advantage for the women because they will be able to but their discipline at the extreme nd be more responsible gambling there by turning out a better gambler over the male folks.

No, you are completely wrong. Gambling has always been for men. I do not think that a woman can bet an amount of money unlike a man and can control herself in difficult moments and focus more than a man. We may find a woman betting because she loves gambling or because she only has money and it has nothing to do with if she is more capable to win than a man.

Honestly I can't confirm whether women can be better gamblers than men or not, if you point to the habits and traits that women have in general where they are someone who has management and who can take care of things well then yes it is true, as we see how the role of a woman when they are already a housewife where usually they are the ones who manage all the financial allocations in the family or that are given by her husband such as dividing for kitchen needs and other needs.

But if you bring this habit of theirs to gambling then I think it's another thing, I believe that women are someone who likes to take care of everything they have but I don't think that will be able to determine whether they can be better gamblers or not, after all gambling is an activity that can stimulate the human brain and mind and women are someone who is the same as men where they are also creatures of perception and they also have emotions, So this means that it is possible for them to eventually fall into the wrong approach to gambling over time as they cannot resist the temptations that are essentially nothing more than deceptions in gambling, and of course it is possible for them to eventually become addicted.

Women are more emotional than men in nature, I believe that women will be more easier to control in gambling, because most of them can't handle defeat, when they lose a lot of money they know how to retreat, men will still choose to push forward, but women will run.


I know that women do fall into gambling addiction too, but I know like five males that are victim to addiction in gambling and only 1 female that's a gambling addict, this to me shows that men become more addicted to gambling than women.

Women don't like taking a lot of risks like men are used to, especially in things that have everything to do with luck only, and the very few women that are into such things are been stamped with names, people will call them women like men.

One of the best poker players I know is a women so by that verdict its very possible women have advantages they can put to work in the competitive game.  Depends on the bet, depend on the game probably.  The one place I would say more possible then other probabilities is the money management side of things.  Men generally will take more risks then they are required to in order to win, by their character men tend to have a psyche that reinforces and rewards this behavior.   Of course we are still talking generally here in an approximate way but overall I'd say the money management of knowing when to take some off the table comes with a more cautious attitude & will be rewarded with a better track record and thats true because everyone will lose some so dont lose your winnings is job number one.

Well, in gambling the one who is less emotional, can become a better gambler because he or she will not make the decisions based on the emotions only. Usually we know that women are more emotional than men so this means that Men can handle gambling better than the women. However why we blame the men that they are more gambling addict, becasue the number of men gambler more than the women gambler. Hence we hear lot more unsuccessful gambling stories of the men as compared to the women.


When it comes to managing the finances, i guess we should not judge them on the basis on gender only. I am saying this because let's suppose there are male gamblers who don't manage the sources or income for his home as compared to a lady, doing a job in a bank and managing the resources of the depositors. She would be more responsible when it comes to gambling or whatever activity you asked her to perform. So both male and female gamblers can be better or worse by their nature and not by their gender.

I'm not surprised if women can do men's work so it's only natural that they can gamble better than men, but not many women gamble and become great gamblers, because they are more busy with their activities as women, for example shopping, going to salon or taking care of her family rather than gambling, but if there is a woman who likes to gamble, I think it will be difficult for a man to accept her as a wife, because it will never be suitable if she finds a woman who is a gambler because it is not a job that is suitable for a woman to do.

Actually, I also admit that the role of women when doing men's hobbies or work, they can be superior and better than men, but to be honest, I actually don't support seeing women gambling, for example in offline and land-based gambling where there are lots of men. man, so it's difficult for me to accept a woman as a companion, unless the woman gambles at online casinos, maybe it's still acceptable because she can still divide her time to take care of the family and just fulfill her other hobbies. The point is, they can beat us, but it's best not to let women gamble because it will definitely look bad in the eyes of men.

Yes, you are getting what I was trying to convey here. The way women think is different from the way men think, and not that women think better than us or they are better managers when it comes to portfolio management, but they do not just have the same feelings/pressure we have towards gambling. Maybe I should call it mindset in this regard because I have a lot of them as friends and I ask questions at the same time. In my country, you might not even know that women are gambling as much as they do, it is just because you may not see them in public or they do not care so much about it (desperate) since they do not have that emotional attachment and believe that it is the avenue they will get rich.

Of course, this is subject to a section of them and can't cover for all of them. It is for those among them who have light burdens and less pressure to even believe they can make money from gambling. Whether we believe it or not, money is the main reason why people gamble, and that is why men are running towards it to try their luck and whether it can bless them. But for women, they do not often see it that way, except a few, they have low stress and tension believing that someone is there working tirelessly to provide for them when they are married. While the unmarried ones are often relying on their boyfriends/partners. No matter what, they do not see the future as a big deal the way men often see it since we always want to hustle and be the breadwinners. It is this hustling that partly pushes many to gamble while women will always be much relax about it since they have a better alternative, which is men, to shoulder their responsibility.

This is psychological, so, many may find it difficult to comprehend it, yet, it is not applicable to all situations.

I do not support that women are better than men based on their characteristics, in general if women gamble it means they are the same as men, any woman who likes to gamble must have different characteristics from women in general, most gamblers are men so we can conclude that the woman is the same as the man

It is normal for women not to want to take excessive risks because they tend to always be careful before deciding something and will not act rashly compared to men. They will consider everything more first while checking what possibilities they can find. And if it was gambling, I don't think they would want to take too big a risk because even though it was money they earned from working, they would also take everything into account before they used it. Maybe they are also not interested in gambling because many of them know the dangers of gambling and even forbid their husbands or boyfriends from gambling. They don't want to see people near them lose money because of gambling, let alone become addicted to gambling.

Still depends on situation so I will split into 50-50 choice on this discussion since we can't really determine on which of gender have more better gambling nature since I see women win and have good control the way on handling their activities, also see some of them got a bad shot then lose because of unforeseen circumstances due to risky decisions and same also with males. But gambling is more popular among men that's why there's an impression created that men are more risky taker than girls that's why this comparison has been created.

Also this site write up good explanation about this gender thing in gambling scene https://fherehab.com/learning/gambling-addiction-men-women/

Maybe you can, women who gamble might be more powerful than male gambling players.
Because playing gambling is not just for men, women and even children can also play gambling.
Maybe there are also many out there if women who are already good at gambling.
Because basically gambling addiction can make people dark eyes and do various ways to gamble.

I don't know how it is in your country but in my country, it is very difficult to see women spend their hard-earned money carelessly. When they go out on a date with a guy, they can spend the guy's money (here guys pay for everything) lavishly but when they go alone, they are very conservative. That is the general mindset of women over here. In gambling, women do not also take careless risk; you will never see them gamble with what they cannot afford to lose, at least the few female gamblers I know are like that. I felt that is a better approach to gambling that being reckless.

This pressure is part of the reason for desperation in men. This desperation most times lead to gambling addiction with attendant problems such as poor management of cashflow, unnecessary risk, inability to take break and many others. Women on the other hand do not have this sense of responsibility that causes desperation. They may be eager to win but not to the extent of taking unnecessary risk.

If for whatever reason you believe women handing the things of money and risk better then men, then we are saying this same thing. Thanks for agreeing with me.

That's nice, after all, it is your opinion, but really, I see things differently in my opinion. I believe that in this context, women and men face the same conditions and also try to act the same way. As you see women that play with caution, management and expertise, so are men at the same time with no difference, only that responsibility makes the difference in my view. So, in this context, you said of, I do not see the two behaving differently as gender with the same responsibility, and the direct risk and lack of expertise when the condition is the same can never be the reason why men are more than women in gambling or vice versa.

Also, based on the record I have to date, the females I know who are gambling are better patient and earn more than men via it and this is because they are less desperate about it,  nothing more. It is not about a special logic for men, I even see it differently that women are better lucky in this regard, and for the fact that they are better gambling with the responsibility characteristic which is occasions by the less burden they often have compared to men makes me see it that they are better than men in this regard contrary to what you conveyed here.

In my opinion, women are more susceptible to losses when gambling, because the way they make decisions in risk management is very different from men. Men prioritize logic while women prioritize feelings, and in fact patterns in gambling do not change when there are differences in gender. Based on my observations, only a few women are addicted to gambling, indeed there are several places where elderly grandmothers gamble (I saw it in local media reporting raids on illegal gambling places), but most of those who gamble are men. It is understandable that, gambling is a game about luck, and does not differentiate between genders, because no one can predict the odds with certainty. The victory achieved is not always based on how they make decisions, but the biggest difference may lie in the courage to take risks.

You are right, women have a low participation in gambling and the few that does so can't afford to take some risk to a certain limit, the nature of women is to always engage in something that could earn them an income and not for taking risk like for gambling, they can't afford to be seeing their money going just like that, men are rigid, they are strong and agile, they can take decision on high risk and gambles, they don't mind what may be the end of their actions as long as it's what they want to have to do, men aren't that emotional as women do in gambling.

Doesnt really have those difference on which it just turn out that the society would really be always having to say when it comes on different genders on which its not shocking anymore.

Its true that when it comes on facing up such risks then it wont really be counting whether you are a male or female on which odds and chances would really be sharing up with the same sentiment.
This is why it wont really be that good that you would really be having those impressions that as a particular gender you would really be having that better odds or chance than the other.
We do know on how gambling works and how risky it is.It would really be just that right that you should really be acting accordingly and realistically on which it would be based up on
how reality do goes.
