Maybe the myth is that a woman very rarely or not at all plays gambling because she doesn't want to spend her money on gambling games. Or it could be because it is taboo for a woman to gamble.
It's a taboo because it's known that gambling is just for woman. But you know what in real life situations, when a woman becomes addicted, they become really addicted to the point that they're too severe in addiction.Yes, there's no exception in gambling.
If a man can be addicted, the same goes for a woman that's also in gambling. In our old neighborhood during my childhood, I've seen wives that were addicted to playing card games. It's almost everyday they play.
I have never seen a wife addicted to playing cards but I often see my neighbour playing cards with his friends. He even had the heart to beat his wife to ask for money to gamble and gambled every night. But luckily, her husband is now dead so his wife doesn't suffer anymore. If a man can be addicted, the same goes for a woman that's also in gambling. In our old neighborhood during my childhood, I've seen wives that were addicted to playing card games. It's almost everyday they play.
. But yeah I agree that Gambling isn't addictive is a pure Myth. There are already cases of gambling addiction that debunk this Myth.
