Topic: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] - page 10. (Read 5583 times)

The differences are only limited to emotions temperament and ways of controlling oneself because if we talk about other aspects I think that women and men have similarities with almost no differences.

If you ask that there are fewer female gamblers compared to male gamblers the answer is clear that women always have the characteristic of having fun in different way than men but some women who have been able to experience the pleasure of gambling then they will never be able to escape or it will always come into casinos to gamble and most women have considered gambling as an activity that may not be profitable and makes them more likely to go to parties or go shopping.

Apart from all that we also cannot really accurately determine the percentage of female gamblers that exist but it seems that female gamblers will also continue to increase considering that this industry has developed very rapidly.

Normally gambling does not supposed to have gender differentiation because this is one of the ways we can make money for ourselves so we don't have to make it look like it's meant for male alone not female. As the world is advancing in technology, we need to make sure that we do things legally that would put food on our table and I am very sure that in most regions and countries, gambling is not a taboo. We all can gamble that is if we are up to the age of accountability. These ages might be different from regions so we need to check and see if we are legally ought to gamble if we have the interest.

I don't really agree with that take.  Saying someone's more emotionally resilient just cause of their gender seems pretty messed up to me.  People can react real differently to losing money gambling and  how you respond comes down to all kinds of stuff about who you are, not if you're a guy or girl. 

Sure, some folks might freak out more when they lose big.  But thats got nothing to do with being a man or woman specifically.  It depends on the person's own experiences, personality where they grew up, all that jazz.  So yeah, making blanket assumptions that dudes handle losses better is straight up wrong in my book.  Folks are too complicated for easy stereotypes like that.

Sorry to completely disagree with you my friend, what exactly are you even doing promoting a gambling casino through your signature ad space if you really think that gambling is such a bad idea and something no body should engage in? if people weren't gambling, will there be any online casino around to pay you for just making some random posts on a forum like this?

It is very important that we should all think before making comments, in other not to make comments that completely contradict what we ourselves are promoting to other people.

And for the records, women not gambling, or not having that much interest in gambling does not make them any wiser than the men, both men and women are all wired differently, we have our different preferences, and who choose to gamble and who choose not to gamble have nothing to do with how wise or unwise the gender in question is or the persons are.

  Women are considered to be more emotionally weak compared to men when it comes to gambling, most of them can’t take the pain of losing, they even go further of blaming the other party that got them involve in it in the first place. A recent study found that men are more likely than women to make extreme decisions. Most of them (the women) feel gambling is a man thing with that they don’t engage in it. But recently due to exposure and how much the world has evolve, they are women who gamble and are even expert in it. The society we find ourselves in also have effect in gambling.
  The gender gap in gambling behavior is influenced by a variety of social and cultural factors, including differences in gambling preferences, motivations and consequences. One of the factors that contribute to the gender gap in gambling behavior is social norms and expectations. Historically, gambling has been perceived as a male- dominated activity, and women who gamble may face stigma and negative attitudes. The consequences of gambling can differ between men and women. Women who gamble may be more likely to experience negative social and emotional consequences, such as isolation, shame and financial hardship. Men on the other hand, may be likely to experience negative consequences related to aggressive or impulsive behavior, such as substance abuse or criminal activity.

So that is why women feel that their responsibilities as women or as wives are more than men.
If a woman becomes a wife, she will spend more time taking care of her household than pursuing or obtaining pleasure.
Moreover, when their household conditions are good, it is a pleasure that can satisfy them so that they will make the best use of their time in taking care of their household.
It's different with men who feel they should be able to make more money so they will try various kinds of jobs until they have to gamble because there are responsibilities as a man and husband.

This is true but not generally because we have some women that are more risk takers than men. Some women would had loved to gamble but their society and the environment they reside don't permit gambling and this has made many of them become reductant to gambling. If the same treatment was been given to men and women, we might have had similar numbers of women and men gamblers but since there's a discrimination against them, they avoid gambling in public.

In a civilized world where everyone is treated equally, you'll see more women coming out to gambler which just shows women love gambling as much as men love gambling. With popularity of online gambling platforms, women might be leading and gambling more but we can't tell since the data isn't available to the public.

There are things that are naturally associated with men and women. If you see morning TV shows then women like them more then men (at-least in my country). Likewise if you see cryptocurrency investment, then you find it a male dominated sector.
If women are not much interested in gambling then its also an indication that they are more wiser then men, for not losing the money. Because in the end its the gambler who lose money and its the house which is the ultimate winner. Women must be appreciated for staying away from this risky business where you lose most of the time.  

These's something in it indeed. For example, my going all-in often leads to getting out of a poker tournament before I reach paid places. It's really annoying, and I want to do something with it. What I do is I watch best women poker players on YouTube and try to learn from them. They're playing more cautiously than most men, that's for sure. But some of them win millions with this passive type of playing.

Regarding with global survey men more dominance in gambling platform than women, indeed in your environment have many women active on gambling but many account name of gambling platform related with men name not women. I don't think have related with financial dependent or not why gambling platform make men more dominance than women due in the reality many women have huge passive income than men but their hobbies is shopping than active on gambling platform.
Both kinds of gambling between online or offline platform more dominance by men and I think women have more busy activities than men and make them not have enough time spend for active in gambling platform.

Actually, I have never seen a woman play gambling directly, especially in my area where men play gambling more dominantly. Either they (women) do it secretly or no one is interested in gambling (I'm talking about those in my environment) If it's true that there are lots of women who gamble, I'm sure it's still rare.
Women tend to be more able to think realistically, women prioritize basic needs rather than gambling which is just a waste of money if the woman already has a husband and has children.
Women often spend their money on daily needs or thinking about their children's school needs so they don't think too much about gambling with the aim of having fun.
If there are women who gamble, it can be said that their husbands have sufficient income and their financial conditions support gambling so that they can gamble happily without thinking about any problems for their family.

And even in this generation where equality is already being practice there are still many women who choose or who's being dedicated to take good care of their households, chances is not to involve with gambling as both time and finances are not capable to play or to spend time,

maybe there are some countries where women can equal the percentages of man's gambling activities, but in terms of generalizing as a whole on my opinion the numbers still remain for man's gamblers compared with those women who do have connections with gambling activities.

If a global survey were to be conducted as a whole, woman would be underrepresented in gambling. In some countries their number is higher but it will be quite less than that of men. Women have to devote more time to common housework. They have to give compulsory time especially in look after children. Although many baby care institutions have been created in the developed world. But still one likes to do family work at the end of any job or work. Gambling is a bit more difficult for them than for men. They are also relatively risk-averse, so it is not difficult to understand that they participate less in gambling than men.

I think this is a very wrong conception, more men gamble than women and you can use the gender around you to judge this, and that is the same way it happens in every clime. It's true that there are some women who are extreme gamblers, but their population compared to men is are little. Women see life differently from men and they do not often feel financially burdened like men. The financial burden and responsibility are what make men grow faster than women to be financially independent and capable. Of course, some women could be real addicts and crazy about gambling too, but how many women gambling addicts do you hear of?

When women play gambling, they already know the risks they will face, but women will think twice about going crazy at the gambling table, if women are still within normal limits, but if they are addicted, women will be the same as men and without shame they will say they lost ,
from my point of view with experiences that I see directly from my neighbors

I never thought about that because maybe women feel they have a lot of work to do that day so they don't think about gambling.
Meanwhile, men find it easy to complete their work and tend to postpone it until the next day so that their work is not completed on time or is completed late.
Women don't feel brave enough to take too big a risk and think a lot before they decide what they will choose so that when they want to gamble, they will think hard about which one they should do first.
And even if they gamble, they can limit themselves so they don't drag on gambling because they feel an obligation must be completed immediately rather than just gambling.
And there are many others that we never thought of.

Women gamble less than males, according to data. But why? The reason is? Just gender differences in thinking?

We all know gambling is risky. You noted that women avoid unnecessary risks. Sometimes they gamble, but they do so carefully. Men may be more aggressive, going "all in." Is this behavior gender-specific? Or are social and cultural elements involved?

Promoting responsible gaming regardless of gender is essential. Everyone should know the dangers and repercussions. Never gamble "all in" without knowing the consequences. Making informed choices. While we can debate gender variances, isn't the main issue promoting safe gambling for all?

There is a difference between Men and Women, in their thinking and the approach they take towards all the aspects of things around them.

If we talk only about gambling, then why do we see that there are less number of women who gamble as compared to men? Have you ever thought of this? Again this is due to differences in gender and their thought process.

Women are usually not wanted to take unwanted risks, so they may either not gamble at all or even if they gamble, it will be with calculated risks. On the other hand, men's gambling will be like the "Go All In" approach and therefore most of the time men usually lose more in gambling as compared to women.

There is no different effect on gambling addiction in women or men and when they are addicted they will only have the same thing namely being able to spend and lose more money in each game or betting session.
Moreover in terms of addiction whether it is man or woman it is still one of the impacts of gambling which in this industry whoever they are definitely has the opportunity to become an addict and when they really become gambling addict it is their own fault for not able to control every action.

Some people say that women quit more easily because they can manage finances and also control every decision but all responses like this are nonsense because women actually have higher emotional temperament.

I still can't get your and the man you quoted point of view!
Why do you believe that because she is a women she doesn't have the right to gamble! Why do you believe she is less vulnerable than any of you?
You need to understand that women are stronger than man and that they can support pressure more than any of us can do.
You need to realize that women are stronger than men.
