Topic: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] - page 35. (Read 5929 times)

Yeah, it's really hard to accurate says that the survey is correct or if there is a big difference between men and women in general. And I'm not sure why machismo is included in the first place, I also see men hiding from their loses and not telling everyone the whole trust as far as losing big money as compare to women who might be doing the same.

Same when you win big games, you definitely gonna tell the whole world about it, same with women. I think in gambling, we really can't see the difference in gender as far as winning or losing, even if it is slot or luck base games or skills base games like poker.

It is an opinion that I think most ordinary people think, in the world we live in depending on the area where we are living there are certain customs where the woman is alive as someone who should be at home, raising children, cooking and the only right to have she has to have fun is with her husband, and if they see her in a casino it's the right thing to do, but because they start saying that she fell into vices, that she's doing bad things, while the man is rewarded with things like saying that he can do what he I wish and it looks good, yes, a man can do grotesque things and society accepts it and they like it, but a woman who goes to a casino and wins, loses no matter what, has the right and shouldn't look bad, as women tend not to spend money on fun and other things yes, but it is not something that should determine everything.

Yeah, we can't generalize that, there are people who seems to be prone to this venue of entertainment not just men but also women are capable, no gender differences as gambling is open for all, it's all matter with how a person choosing his passion, we can't remove that from women to also be attracted in playing and gambling their money, though it's not usual or it's not the big percentage but there are women inside casinos both online and offshore we can see or we will see the presence of women gambler.

Not in gender, but it is the desire that the person wanted to please inside. Both women and men have it and once women allow that lust, you will see them playing to the point that they can engage deeper and end up being addicted.

Nobody can impose gambling to anyone or generalise the stuff that gambling is specifically meant for female gender neither male gender, I will say that with my basic understanding in gambling everyone is authorised to participate in gambling both male gender and female gender,  why most of us think female hates gambling is because the numbers of male participating in gambling is higher than the female who is in gambling in open place, I have seen women who plays pool consistently than male, so women love gambling but the problem is that their husband's doesn't give them the privilege to partake in gambling always

Well, I know where you're coming from, but gambling isnt as equal as it appears. Although statistically correct, the concept that everyone has an equal chance misses many of life's complexities. People have varied financial strengths. For some, losing a bet is a mere setback; for others, its a life-changing calamity. Addiction is dangerous for both men and women. I've seen men and women slip into gambling addiction. The excitement, the adrenaline, the frenzied pursuit of lost bets - its a terrible state.

Scientifically, addiction is personal. Psychological traits matter more than gender stereotypes. We should defend women, not judge them, even if they're more prone. Lets get rid of our prejudices.

I do not think so that if we had more numbers of women in gambling than men that we still see them addicted, in the first place we won't see more numbers of women above men in gambling because there are particular ways of life expected by the sex of persons. Gambling is already a dominated area by men just like the society ascribed prostituting to women. No hard feelings to the women folks but growing up I have known women being the ones known with such "trades" even though it is the men who patronize them. This is the way the society is but we could just see a little changes here and there which would be known as an aberration to the norm.

Typically, Most people feels like gambling is majorly designed for men because men would have the ability to condone failure and works hard and harder to earn money so they would have enough to spend either for necessary or unnecessary pleasures.

Men are seemed more skillful and knowledgeable in an adventurous system and they could have the ability to easily let go burdens while women are at the opposite.
Gambling is a risky game meant for who is ready to accept loosing and winning.
 Before a man gets to the board of gambling he has already accepted if he fails he fails and if he wins he wins but women are like not worthy to accept loosing but to win.

Gambling is a wrecking game yes but men has the ability to minimize or control their volume on the rate of gambling while women are under control of the gambling table because they could go extra mile at a point just to get what to stake in other to win or recover their lost.

If women would have the same eagerness as the men in the gambling, then the woman is tantamount to be wrecked to her bottom where she isn't in control of her self anymore. Everything becomes magical to them at that gambling moment keeping them the feelings of hopelessness with the thoughts of not worth to live just after loosing.
While men could walk away hoping for another day to strike back to win with a more tactical strategies.

And in an overview, Most people feels women who gambles are irresponsible and shameless because they feels it's a game of the fittest strictly for men.

That means both men and women have something in common to be addicted, which will depend on how they use gambling. If they use gambling as entertainment and stay within limits, they will be fine and vice versa. Men and women can both experience gambling addiction, but maybe we hear less about women who experience gambling addiction than news about men who are addicted to gambling. So to find out the exact number, maybe there should be further research in all countries that allow gambling and giving questionnaires to men and women, especially for those who often play gambling, so there is information about the total number of men and women who play gambling.

although @Solosanz's thinking is very exaggerated, he is still on a line of thinking that is not very wrong, this can be tested by putting a man over 18 years of age to consume alcohol until he becomes very drunk and we will see that he he will have irritating and mean attitudes, but he will not be taking off his clothes and having sex with all the women he encounters, but the same cannot be expected from women who, in most cases, when they consume drinks like beer and get drunk, start having sex with any man

so when a person gets married, and sees his wife going to play in a casino alone, I wonder if this man will see this behavior of his wife going to play in the casino as good behavior? what are the chances that the wife consumes beer or any alcoholic beverage and gets drunk and starts spending all the money and is sleeping with other men? the chances of this happening are unfortunately greater, which is why in many houses the men fight a lot when the women go to play alone in the casinos or then they go to consume alcoholic drinks in the bars alone. with this established quasi-standard created a situation in which women are unlikely to participate in gambling

women are also very vain, so they spend more than 60% of their money on things related to fashion, outings and posting on social networks, so taking the money destined to spend on these things to go to games of chance is something that women don't

Women are not really associated with gambling yes, there are some areas of life that are known with some sex. So if you are a woman and you gamble alot or even openly, there is a way that the society see such woman like they are usually labelled bad but this is not the same with the male counterparts. A man that gambles may not be seen as bad but women could be seen that way. Moreso, regarding to men, a man who also gambles a lot but takes good care of his family is also looked differently by the society compared to that man who only gambles without taking care of the home but behaves irresponsible. It is just about what the society perceive about the standards of gambling.

Undoubtedly, there is no difference for luck, who is in the place of the gambler. Be it a woman, a man, or even a dog. In gambling (with the possible exception of card games, where you still have to use your brain) there is no need to possess any special physical or mental abilities. The casino doesn't care who the player is and the probability of winning is the same for everyone. Truly, this is the only place in the world where everyone can be equal.

As for addiction, I've heard the opposite, that women are more prone to it. How many people - so many opinions. As long as it is impossible to prove or disprove without proper research, everything remains at the level of rumors and speculation.

There is no valid data and percentages to share here, how can we see that online casinos are almost filled with women, unless gambling platform sites share information on their daily visitor data in the form of gender, which would be even better because there is valid data, after all, both men and women there is no difference in gambling, everything can be done, both young and old, whenever you can play online gambling.

Whatever it is, there's no need to find out more about who gambled from the two, so far I also rarely see women playing gambling to make a living, unless she's really not a good woman maybe she's a gambler, most women are more busy with social their media compared to playing online gambling. 

You are right, there is likely not much difference from men and women in gambling, aside the fact that we have way more men gambling than women, and this probably have made the whole thing look as if men are more and easily addicted to gambling than women do...

The same way we see so many men who are addicted to gambling on the streets, maybe so also we would have been seeing addicted women as well, if the number of women in gambling is the same, or even slightly close to the number of men in gambling.

well where did you get that idea? people looks gambling are VERY BAD for women but not for men?

              - Women and Men can gamble fairly , equally with satisfactory .

              - What Men can do is also what can women so I believe that you have a bad perception about this matter.



>>>> have you visited casinos Nowadays? or you are relying to what you have been reading and hearing?

Go to casino and you will see the ratio of man and women playing together.

When we do talk about being attached on a game then it would really vary, it is really just that people arent really get used to on seeing women on these type of places. It is really just that somewhat that normal that

there's really that non equal treatment to women when it comes to particular things on which we would really be having those thoughts that they are really just that good on being on the house and cooking and taking care of our child but the fact that they could also do on what men does then it isnt really that much of a difference if ever they would really be going into those places because everything would really be just that
the same when it comes to on how to play the game.

People arent really just get used to on seeing though and also it doesnt pertain about being attached or what because we do have our own interest on certain field and doesnt matter on what
would be your gender as long you do get interested then you would surely be doing it.

Alcohol dependence to me is also addiction because thing you can't do without becomes addiction. Gambling addiction and alcohol dependence is measured to be operating in same way only that in alcohol, you get drunk and misbehave because of intoxication which could lead you to getting naked, harming yourself or other people or total lost of control that can cause you bodily harm. But the salient point about addiction is losing of control towards your normal actions and that is present in both gambling and alcohol dependence.


I don't totally agree that women are harder to get out of alcohol addiction than men. I think it is the same measure. They both need external help and if they receive such help appropriately then they should get out of it because it is the brain that controls the loss of control and not gender or sex based.

I imagine that this is in face-to-face poker when you play with women, men and they can have a interaction between them, looks, laughs, maybe serious faces, but I don't see any difference with women and men, if there are many ways that Men state that they like games more than women, that is something that is very noticeable, but more than something that can be said that they are better than women in the game is something that can vary, the genders as I see it do not It has nothing to do, if I mean only men and women, I specify because there are many classifications now that I do not understand, but if it is a man or a woman, it can be said that men are more attached to games than women, and that is a difference that is noticeable everywhere.

The fact that there is no provable data as to what the percentage between men and women in gambling because in real life there has not been too much gap between the two but then it all depends on the regions and individual differences and as a matter of fact we can't say what the difference between the two and both male and female gamble alike.

I think bluffs from young girls just a little bit overrated. Perhaps frequent bluffing is a stereotype. This is my experience tells me, but maybe I need more games with young ladies)

I think gambling to some extent can be compared with alcohol dependence. Women are less prone to entering alcohol addiction, but if they have entered it, then it is harder for women to get out of it than for men.
