I know that the number of women involved in gambling is very small because in some countries, people's views of female gamblers are still very bad and they are considered dirty and unfit to be a wife.
Personally, I don't see the reason why I should consider a woman who gambles without her head as fit to be a wife. Woman are in-charge of running of homes and they are always in custody of the finances as its where they run their operations from.
A reasonable and responsible woman will definitely be considerate when gambling, if she has a passion for gambling and she will be moderate with her gambling budget as she will seperate it from the resources for home use.
But one without her senses wouldn't know the limit. Its a thing that has eaten deep down her fabrics, what is left of the control system in her..nothing.
The consequences to her family will be grieving as it will be repeated on a stead and that I can assure you, a man will not like to consider such a woman for a wife.
I want you to understand that inasmuch as gambling is concerned, a lot of people see gamblers as wayward, that is people that doesn't have anything meaningful with their life.
If not that some countries have been experiencing economic drop down that has made people to get more involved in gambling as a means of getting money easily if they win, our society have always condemned gamblers.
People do hide to play gamble because they're afraid of what people will say when they find out you're a gambler.
To me there's no difference between men and women is gambling as it is an individual choice so I don't see anything bad in women being involved in gambling or don't they want to make money easily too? Of course they do, so there should be no discrimination in women getting involved in gambling, my own point is that no matter the gender, everyone should gamble responsibly, if you're a woman, don't gamble the stomach of your family by taking the family feeding money to gamble. If you must gamble let it be your own personal money.
