Men are likely to become gambling addicts and that's because men gamble more than women. If a survey is ran, in every ten people we ask if they're gamblers or not we'll find more of men than woman and that can back the claims that gambling is a man thing as they do it more.
But this doesn't stop woman from gambling, in today world things are changing from the normal way they were as there's no more discrimination of jobs or things men or women can do so everything can be done by both woman and men which means gambling included.
While gambling is both a man and woman activity, we shouldn't ignore the fact that more men are gambling than woman and when a question is asked if gambling is a man or woman thing, while it's for both genders but the thing has to go to those that do it more which is men.
