Alot of cases has been reported several times too - and y'all end up realizing that MEN are usually involved in very many critical cases...

Men are more physical than women and even the women in the house leave out more tedious chores for the men, the parents themselves in division of labour give more physical labour to the boys. That masculinity is passed on to even taken care of the family, the wife do more lesser jobs than the husband. In terms of employment, I have seen men selected for physical jobs. However, most of those sex roles are changing and you see women taking more tedious job assignments than men. They now take risk like men and that is why the gambling field that used to be male dominated is also changing. Women also gamble now, they take risk and want to meet up with family daily needs because many are fast becoming bread winners because of the absence of men in the family for whatever reason including death. And the men are fast loosing their jobs.

What's that validating? That men are really taking the whole thing personal??

It is worthy to note that it is a male dominated world. In the bible, God already gave dominion to men, at least it was recorded that Adam named all the animals Grin

It's not true either, but indeed in the majority it is that men gamble more because they also make a living for their families and not so many women because maybe women tend to be more concerned about having a career and pursuing higher education, but even if there is a woman who gambles maybe she doesn't have a job and higher education so may have financial problems that make them gamble.

But as we can see now that not all women pursue their education and become career women, many are also struggling to become online gamblers, I often see that in coffee shops, I think almost many female gamblers are looking for entertainment or looking for side money at online casinos. but apart from that there is no need to think critically at this time about gambling, gambling at this time is also for women because there are already very many online casinos available.

There is no mystery why more men are addicted to gambling than women. But maybe it's because men spend more of their free time playing gambling than women, who use their free time to relax.

And there doesn't seem to be any personal reason why men gamble more than women. But maybe men find a challenge in gambling while women do not see it as a challenge but an endless waste.

Can not reveal about this mystery because this is more to the majority of men than women, maybe because the demands of men are greater then spend more on gambling to win more, not infrequently a man can still rely on gambling as their income or can also be an additional income.

Often finding women gambling in online casinos I see that's how women's habits can be seen, but you can count how many women do that but men take this risky challenge more than women.

If a woman who is already a wife is more prohibited than all in high-risk actions, for example gambling, then it would be very natural if women are less in action in gambling.

Gambling used to be a predominantly guy thing, though at recent times, I'm seeing more and more girls also engaging into gambling activities.

I believe gambling will always be dominated by men (whether in the past, now, or in the future).
Gambling is surely made not only for men, but it is basically more suitable for men than women. That's why we call it as a 'men stuff'. Even there are more women to join gambling, they are unlikely to dominate it. Most women prefer to avoid too risky stuff, only men who like the risky stuff. And only a few women think gambling is a fun stuff, most of them probably feel not happy since they hate to lose money. Grin

Women aren't always known to be risk-takers, and might not have that much risk appetite, but that doesn't mean that they won't be able to gamble just like what men do. Some activities that used to be men-only, women are already doing, and that involves gambling. It might be 'suitable' for men due to their risk appetite, but calling it a 'guy thing' is like stereotyping. I might be reaching with my statements in here but in this day and age wherein we are given too much freedom, activities wherein men dominates, the women can also excel at.

As a matter of fact, some women are risk-takers while some even have more minds to do this more than some men, only that a little fraction of them qualifies for this remark. What I see here is that most women see life differently, partcicularly at the financial angle and they believe they are less emburdened like we men as many are even shouldering their responsibilities on the men. This makes them rather do more honourable things to earn money than men who are desperate. But for men, since they don't have anyone to shoulder their responsibilities, and still have themselves and more to cater for and impress, they however engage in all kinds of deals that would bring in money, which includes gambling.

No I disagree, gambling is not a man thing only, both gender can gamble if they want to and there's no mystery about it..

Gone are those days society and cultural settings makes us believe that women participating in gambling makes them look irresponsible and shame to the family. Today we have lots of women with gambling experience than many guys out there.

And from what I observe, I haven't heard or seen a single female gambling addicts it we have a lot of male gambling addicts which means women are more self controlling and responsible as gamblers.

The point flew across your head buddy. OP is asking us if there's something about us males that makes us gamble on a more personal level than females, seeing as we take it competitively sometimes and most of the gambling addiction cases fall in the laps of males.

Am on course with OP, maybe you just not getting my own point, maybe you need to reread the thread's title again.

It's mostly taken that gambling is a guys thing and we can see a good number of guys in gambling than women, it's like 10 men to 1 woman in any gambling house you walk in, so it shouldn't be surprising that the high level of competition coming from guys, they are higher in number as gamblers.

A group of guys could be having a drink at a pub and later decide to hit a casino house, but the likelihood of women taking that decision is slim as they rather go to club , so I might agree with OP to an extent that gambling is mainly a guys thing than it is for women.

Most women don't have the financial resources to gamble. They are unemployed and depend on their husband's family support. You don't expect a housewife to gamble because she doesn't have paid employment to raise funds for gambling. But the majority of the male counterparts are gainfully employed so they can afford to spend money on gambling.

Another issue is social stigma. In societies where gambling is seen as immoral, women tend to stay away from gambling or hide it from the public. In such societies, men can gamble freely but women are expected to stay clear of gambling. An example is smoking in the public. Women cannot smoke cigarettes or others in my country without criticism because it is seen as men's behavior.

Ego, Pride, Testosterone, and the will to win.
Those emotions keep the men gambling especially when they are in the losing mode. They are chasing the losses so they tend to stay gambling until they are wrecked.
But let's also face it, there are loads of women in the gambling industry now because of it's easy-to-access feature. Either online gambling casinos or sports betting I have seen husband and wife doing both.
In my case though, my wife doesn't really care about it. She doesn't play anything but she listens to whatever made I bet or how much especially if it's about the NBA. She likes it when I bet for her preferred team.
Men may be prone to addiction but it's all about discipline and control. It can be done with a good plan to follow.

I disagree with you...

I know several female gamblers and women that I have met in online gambling chat rooms. I also know of several female gamblers that had gambling problems and they stole money from their employer and had to go to jail for that.

Just go to a "Brick n mortar" casino and observe the people there and you will quickly see that there are a bunch of women gambling at those casinos. A lot of them are older couples that are doing this for entertainment and excitement in a safe environment. Wink

For me this can be because men want to do better and provide better things to their family in the first place,they just don't go randomly to the casino be it offline or online without any clear objective in mind.Men also are not as much afraid as women are in this topic as they think that they will still recover even if they realize a miserable failure by losing everything in the casino.

If a woman loses everything,she is more emotional than a man as a person and the consequences of lost sessions,especially big ones affect a woman more than affects a man and as such I think this to be the main reason why men are more addicted to gambling than women.

Men can go to any lent to achieve their goals and only very few women are wired this way, in my country when a woman is strong and do things that a man is supposed to do we call her a man-like woman.

Men takes risks more than women and that's because all responsibility relies most on men, but things are now changing, women are not been exposed to extra hard work because of the world economy, men can't do it alone anymore, their wives need to support or risk becoming a widow some day.

The different is men can handle risks more than women, females are more emotionally, that's why it's hard for them to trade or take risky part to make money, though men have emotions too but some have no choice than to take the risky ways, after all they are men.

In the past we had the same discussion about men more into gambling than women. You should have done a few search before creating this topic.Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling]

The answer to your question is simple. Men think logically and have the ability to take risk. Women think emotionally and don't possess the courage to take risk. Gambling is a game of risk which requires logic to understand. That is why you will find more men than women.

Gambling is more of a male thing from what I have observed too, you are not wrong. There is no mystery behind it, it is just that gambling has the higher chance of appealing to males than females. There are more men willing to take risk to make money even if they lose money in the process, there are more men who love sports and games than women. There are more men who hang out in casinos, so gambling is more a male thing, and it is normal because there are some other things that we ladies like that do not interest the men at all.

Hello, we are in 2023...are there still two genders? Well on a serious note, there is a stereotype surrounding this, maybe culture thingy. Gambling is seen as an adventure and men are biologically wired to be more adventures than women. In personality psychology, men are high on extraversion which is the pleasure seeking, risk taking, and other adrenaline pumping activities. This is why there are more men in jails, more men addicted to drugs, more men builders and many others. Women on the other hand are not and those who are outliers are taught by the society to tone is down if not they would lose their femininity.

It's because ever since we saw a woman going to the casino, they saw it as bad women and sluts. We know that if we see women in casinos, it is a head-turner, and again, women can get harassed there, so women tend to not go there and gamble, but if it is a safe space for both genders, for sure tons of women are still going there, and also, men are kind of risk takers or trying out their curiosity, which will start you doing gambling and getting addicted to it.

Gambling is risky, and has always been a male-dominated activity. Viewing a woman gamble is completely out of the question; men generally perceive women who gamble to be insensitive because there are several recreational activities available to earn a negligible sum of money. Women have everything at their disposal, but gambling is absolutely an excellent road to choose. There will be both powerful men and average men present at the casino, and women may be present with their husbands but will not be encouraged to get involved.

I guess it's all rooted in biology. Men are predominantly competitive and loves to be challenged while women are more the social and nurturing type. Another factor is probably the fact that men are mostly more logical and better decision makers when it comes to gambling while women are more erratic and tend to act more on emotion so it's not really ideal for betting.

Yeah, I can't deny that, although that is fast changing. When you enter a casino today, at least from what I experienced here in my country, it's not anymore unusual to see women gamblers. Before, women gambling is frowned upon. That's the traditional view. Perhaps that's in relation to the traditional division of labor in the family in which women are usually assigned the house chores and of taking care of the children. Women seen gambling connotes they neglect their responsibilities. That was unfair. Everybody should be free to gamble.

Why men are smarter than women.

There is research linking gambling with high male IQ.... That's what a study published in the Journal of Behavioral Decision Making by academics from the University of Liverpool and the University of Eastern Finland says, they came to the conclusion that there is something interesting behind male IQs: men with high IQs are more prone to gambling.

More than 15,000 Finns took part in the survey and completed the IQ test required to enter the Finnish Defense Forces. The information was also intertwined with men's behavior regarding online gaming, social status, monetary income and family education.

The test was intended for men, as women are not required to enlist in the country, so the survey data will be aimed only at the male audience.

Obviously, the phrase I said at the beginning of this post is totally ironic. I believe that as with many other things, this is still just a matter of prejudice.
