Topic: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] - page 7. (Read 6066 times)

The male domination was their in all the games,the most encounter game of the cricket.I had read in the news,one of the country men’s team used t-shirt was given to the women cricket team.I don’t want to mention the country name here.The women team and proved their capacity to the men team by continuous victory.Later the board give their rights to the women cricket team.But their was huge domination in the game by the male over a female.Like wise the same was in the gambling,but after ther huge population of the women get into the gambling will answer this question.Because the participants of the women now in gambling was very low.

  You made a striking point talking about women in sports as catalyst to their recent growing interest in gambling which is very true if we check the history of sport and gambling altogether. Even with the just concluded 2023  FIFA women's world cup at different times I hand the free-time from work to go watch any of the live match in one of the football viewing centres close to my location I discover a lot of men sitted watching these football matches played by female footballers more than their female counterparts. Over 100% you see just about 5% of women watching these games.

Now this explains so we'll why women can't be heavily involved in gambling as men contingent on the fact that they don't have interest in sport activities like men do and it's only when you're sport lover that you can have a burner to extend that love to gambling taking advantage of it to try and make money out of it. It therefore makes sense saying women don't gamble because they are not much into sports that should lure them into gambling rather than saying it's because gambling is a male thing and not mainly meant for women.

Even without these restrictions,  many women still won't gamble.  The percentage of women who gamble will still be low. Gambling is a risky adventure and a good percentage of women are risk adverse. They are so sensitive to financial losses which is not healthy for any gambler. I do not see women as better gamblers,  considering their emotional attachments to bets if they eventually lose

The few women who manage to gamble are stereotyped.  I know an aunt who gambles.  People's opinion about her have been negative and with the fact that she's yet to get married, it is assumed that no man would want to end up with a woman who gambles.All these negative opinions have chased lots of women away from active Gambling

I would say that male dominating the gambling space is probably born out of sports, we and every one of us will come to the agreement that sports has always been a male dominated space, it is only of recent, like some few years back that, women started making their ways into sports, which i personally believe to be the reason why today, we even have some women doing gambling.

So, for me, i would say that maybe one of the reasons why we have low number of women in gambling is because of the above, that is, that it is in recent times that women started getting involved in sporting events, and if be the case, i would say that, maybe as women sports grows further as the future progresses, we might see an increase in the number of women gamblers.

So, in other words, this might mean that women are not many in gambling because gambling is high risk as you said, but they are few simply because they are just getting to discover that women can actually gamble same way men do.

They would, if the women are from wealthy families they would be happy to take them as wives to move up the social ladder. That's in societies like that only wealthy women can afford doing what they want, gambling included. In free countries all women can do what they want, so, there's no difference regarding gambling there.


Exactly. I think you were raised in a free  country then.

When we want to discuss something as sensitive and gender-based discussions, I try as much as possible to take out religion and politics out of the way to enable me to make more informed and open-minded contributions, because if religion prohibits an act it should be binding on all members of the society be it male or female and more also you have to make sure that the same law applies to all and there shouldn't be any reservation in terms of who the law for most.


Women does not like taking high risk and gambling is considered as one of such high-risk events, and also gambling is not women's so for that the male forks dominated the gambling market heavily to the point that they now view gambling as only a male activity.

If we relate religious or cultural factors then gambling activities are still prohibited regardless of gender, but if we talk about countries that have regulated gambling there are no special rules that prohibit gambling based on gender, it's just that the percentage of women involved in gambling is very low because they are not interested gambling. However, women as treasurers for managing family finances are advised not to get involved in gambling. Women gain confidence in managing finances because women are very responsible for every expense. So without comparing equality in gambling, but to be honest I hope that women don't gamble too often because they will have a harder time getting out of the influence of gambling addiction compared to men.

Yeah even as late as what have now, there's still something that can be said when someone see women inside casinos, more on negative impressions especially from those critics who can't just let go the fact that equality is already being practice in some places, just mind your own business and let it be.

Time change and there's nothing we can do about it, if the person wanted to use this venue to have some fun then so be it, and with luck maybe women can also take that jackpot the same with how men have that chance to win.

Aside the fact that women don't personally like gambling, there are other factors like religious or cultural believes that prohibits women participation in gambling or even some sporting activities as the cultural or political law of some countries may states, though we cannot count on this as denial on human rights but just a way to honour women with such a high prestige and esteem in the society.


That's true, you could find out that even in eome of these restricted countries, people still make use of VPN to gamble and some women also engage gambling in their closet, this is all about privacy and choice or decision to make.

Women are very special beings to be able to have any activity and do it very well. Personally, I really like to see women playing in a casino, because they play differently, some of them control their impulses and one of the things I like the most It is because they play when they are very sure of making a good play, something that will make them win, I have seen those attitudes and they are not ones to play martingale, they do very well and they Balance everything so that they can win with one shot, they are not so risky Like us, we don't stop much when we lose or something like that, Women tend to be more calculating, they don't lose a lot of money, they are more focused on taking care of themselves, so these types of things are what sometimes we as men Should do learn from them , and there are very few times that there are women who fall into Addiction , they are very intelligent when playing and I have realized that when they play , they bet and they win, they rely on that profit, they do not continue looking for many wins, with such That they make profits is going well.

So in this order of ideas, we are people who can sometimes say that more men than women go to a casino, yes, it is true, it is mostly women who have Children , Since they are More in Charge of raising, doing the mess, raising them, having a nice house,  women focus a lot on that sense and have responsibilities that are very big , we are just men in that aspect we are also careful, yes but they are more dedicated, that's not It can be denied, those who are not wives, or housewives, because they Focus on other types of activities, where basically things can work better in many ways, sometimes a casino for them represents a possible Expense or loss of money, and what represents this loss of money for them is not feasible, and they have more decision to say no, they are stronger than us in that aspect, they have Better decision.

To a great extent, you are right, I have said it countless of times on this thread that when it comes to gambling, the fact that we actually don't have too many women in gambling the same way we have men is already a generally known fact, this one is not debatable. But coming back to which gender are better gamblers when it comes to  responsible gambling, anyone who wants to be sure truthful will agree that women handle and manage their gambling behaviors much better than the men do, and this is why we hardly see a woman who is addicted to gambling.

And let me also mention that, gambling was not actually designed for women, but civilization and all this gender equality stuffs is what is pushing some women into gambling, just as a way for them to indeed prove that what ever a man can do, a woman can also do.

It's not all countries where women are permitted to gamble or do something that such thing is viewed as manly. Again, in restricted countries, we can't expect women to display their betting lifestyle, even though some will still be gambling, but will have to be secretive about it and will only use those accounts that can't be traced to them, and thankfully, there is crypto and the option of VPN. The downside there is that such restriction would have dissuaded a lot from gambling and many will not know about it till they grow. So what you are not exposed to, you don't get to know or have cravings for it even if you later know.

That aside, it's important to know that things like gambling will always be more patronised by men due to our nature despite women having almost the same population in the world as men. In countries where both men and women are permitted, the percentage of women is so low. Although this varies among countries, it still suggests that what they do in an environment matters too, which could cause shame and dishonour to some women doing it. While some do not just care about it as their focus is elsewhere.

In fact greed is an attitude that almost all women and girls can have and in any form but what makes it different is how they can control and also restrain the attitude of greed that can appear suddenly.
In gambling almost everyone has experienced the same thing where they cannot easily accept what they have got and try hard to get something bigger so there is no exception to this.

Women may be able to better control their emotional ups and downs depending on their mood so they can suppress their bad attitudes but they will be more likely to get angry easily when they have succeeded in suppressing what they shouldn't do and things like that are always used as an outlet.

Why we cant really just sit and be silent whenever we do see women playing gambling specially on physical places? It is really just that there are people who do really love to getting mind on others actions or business. We should leave them alone because gambling isnt really just that limited for men but rather also for women and this is in fact its free for everyone. Just like been said that we arent really just getting used to see those women inside on gambling premisses and this is why we do really have something to say whenever we do really encounter women into these places.
Speaking of luck then it would really just the same and as we know that luck does come if you are really that lucky into that point.

Humans are naturally greedy no matter what gender you do have.Luck would come randomly doesnt matter what gender you do have and everything would really be that not known.
This is why it wont matter on what gender you do have because chances of winning would really be just depending on how luck you are on that particular time.
There's no difference it is really just on gender, it is really just they arent really that common into these vicinity.

You are right, there are people who keeps minding others' business and they love talking about it, and just like what you said women gambler is already existing and it's just to those who translate what they are seeing but in the point where equality is already practice then there's nothing that they should talk or discuss, it's freedom that can also be entertained by both genders. You can see both men and women mostly inside the offshore casino enjoying together if the government allows this kind of entertainment and that's it.

The extent of the effect of discrimination against female genders is that most comes from religious discrimination to tribal bigotry this is why many women have been limited in their gambling activities and with the freedom to excise that right, women are beginning to become more involved in gambling lately and that change is beginning to have a positive impact on the overall outlook on women gambling behaviours and their level of confidence in participating in most gambling activities, so for that, a lot have changed as regards to the discrimination against women gambling.
The male forks are mostly involved in all the risk events and games since they are at the forefront of financial aid to the family and responsible for all the bills in the home, this will encourage them to take more risks compared to their female counterparts.

Where there is gender discrimination might not be no activity or less activity by the women in the gambling section. But where there is no gender discrimination there might be no less activity by the women in the gambling section hence there is higher activity by the women.

When talking in general there is always a possibility of missing the exceptions. I have known women so greedy that they would drive their own families into destruction and  that has also happened in history frequently. I think that you cannot make a case of women in gambling being less prone to excess than men based just on greediness, I would even say the contrary.

In Gambling, what we normally see is male making bets on a daily basis. Women are very rare in the gambling industry and most time they have more obligation to execute that is why we don't mostly see in the physical casinos playing bets except for few that does not care what anybody says a out them. Why many people go into gambling is to make money for themselves. There are people that do not even have a work but only rely on gambling for survival so gambling does not have a gender and everyone can go into gambling and make bets for earn money for themselves.

No matter who wins, men and women in gambling, greed increases. However, women are a little less greedy. Those who are more greedy start playing again without taking a break if they win gambling. But those who are wise will take a break once they win. There is a kind of greed among gamblers. Women are not easily allowed by their family members to gamble. Because he has to be busy with their family work. People who are very rich and do not have the pressure of family work gamble for fun.
