Oh I get it alright. I'm not so much as a stupid fuck when it comes to the diversity of cultures in different places given the fact that the place I live in is a melting pot of different cultures from around the world. What I'm only after is how the first comment you made is so unrelated to the post made by OP, nothing more. Throwing things like the difference between then and now in gender dynamics, as well as disagreeing with OP when statistical data says otherwise (even you said it yourself in the second comment lol) is what made me more interested about your comment.

Even this comment you made's not really in line with everything you said. I don't understand why you gotta pull "cultural perspective and difference" when the post was all about male gambling addiction becoming a really prominent thing in this space compared to female gambling addiction.

We cannot really say that men are more risk takers because that is quite debatable specially to the women that would loved to argue about this topic  kidding.
Let's just put it in a way where gambling is a gentleman's sport. Nobody said that it should be played only by male but it is a place and entertainment where most participants (gamblers) are male, female are more than welcome as well but somehow I cannot deny that it would be weird as it's kind of unusual to see a female gambling in a room full of alpha males.

I can answer this straight as a husband of my wife. Woman has different taste in terms of how they will entertain. They wan t socialization such as talking with friends, shopping, salon and other things that is focus on improving their body. Woman usually view gambling as childplay and boring since the nature of woman is far different to man.

The only woman gambler I see are those who don’t care about their skin care or hanging out with friends. Man usually risking that’s why gambling is mostly being played by men since woman is not interested on risk just to be entertained. I think this risk lover attitude of man makes our life shorter. 

One in a lot of cases the men are more responsible for the funding of a relationship so there is more pressure to get more money.  Second I think more men like sports and sporting events which causes men to gamble more than women.  And from a risk taking perspective I think men are more apt to do risky things with their money.  Add all that up and that's partly why more men gamble than women I think.

Boys gamble more that's a fact. Even in sports, you can always see it's always the male who performs well like he bet his reputation to win against a rival. It feels like you are worth it.
If a woman also thrives, she must have been influenced by how great the feeling is in winning something.

You know how great it feels when you achieve and did something good for the day, you feel great. Gambling can be compared to it when you predicted the dice or roulette to be in your favor, you win and feels good.

I think it boils down on how men decide on their activities. Most men are not vocal- they tend to bottle up their feelings and impulsively decide which somehow answers the question on why most men gamblers fail or suffer indebtedness.

Though this may be the case, I still believe that gender/sex is an irrelevant factor in gambling. It just so happens that most males have dominated some areas; whereas some females dominate males in other areas too.

I just hope that we avoid making hasty conclusions with no factual basis at all when it comes to gender. It is already the modern age and gender-related jobs are irrelevant in this time period given the equity of the two (2) genders.

There's no gender validation in gambling as long as the player is capable to play, understand how does the gambling works and have a money that would like to get entertain anyone is open for gambling reason why some soeaking only for men is because men are the one who more practically playing gambling. It depends someone men are the more way risk takers otherwise woman are the wiser and more in money we cannot remove this perspective's always happening. At the end it's all about the money for the casino and satisfaction for the players.

Yeah, it better be for a pair of shoes or a bag than let the money go just for a short time of fun in gambling. 
Ladies are difficult to understand and they tend to have mood swings, I don't think it is a good thing when it comes to gambling. Men on the other hand have fewer emotions when they gamble. Either they are stressed out and mad because of the losing spree or they are happy because they won something even if it's just a little bit amount.
Choices. Men choose quickly, while women will take the long cut and think about many scenarios so it will take long before a round will be done.

Men gamble because they want to find other ways to make money. And because there is a responsibility to provide money to the family, men try to earn money from gambling. And even though it's difficult for men, they will keep trying and some of them can bring money for their families and make ends meet. While others only experience defeat after defeat without being able to make money. And for women, it is very rare to see them playing gambling at offline casinos, but maybe they use online casinos to gamble because they don't want to be seen by their friends or even their own family. So maybe that causes men to like to gamble more than women, so gambling is synonymous with men.

We gamble inothet to generate extra change for our needs and wants. Gambling is a risky activity to anticipate, it's never an option to choose gambling, it drained the pockets dry and keep one depressed. Gambling have negative and positive effects on users. Women are more vulnerable than the men, they are opened to the dangers from gambling, so they should just keep it void and none. Women anticipating in gambling, it's not just right for the ears. Gambling is for guys, they gamble with spare money except  for the addicted ones, which are ready to spend their budgeted money on gambling.

I understand you mate because it's not just you, I bet there are more like us here who think the very same way that it is indeed kind of weird and unusual to see a woman gambling while a having a drink and cigarette on their side. I mean, it's not every day or every week where we can see that kind of view which makes it more weird.

I know that in these times, gender doesn't matter anymore as they have the power to do what we can do but for the sake of limits, it's just hard to digest seeing a woman gambling.

If women hadn't entered the game now that they do, women would still be recognized for taking care of the home and the children, but the conditions have changed. In my perspective, males are naturally suited to hustle more than women. It is really uncommon to see women bet. I once discovered a female acquaintance using an online gambling program while we were still in school, so some do it covertly, but even then, there aren't many of them.  And as you said, many ladies enjoy drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes for pleasure; gambling is not their way.

Because men are willing to take risk rather than women, we all know that women spend more time to decide rather than taking an action, they are meticulous one. But then we should also not stereotyping men, these days women are into gambling as well mostly traditional ones and please do not say they are more prone to addiction not because you can see there are many men in casinos it means there are many addicts in there.

In emotional aspect men are mostly the one who take the risk since they are the one do some crazy decisions because they want to test their luck. And most of the women are so careful since they don't want to commit mistakes since mostly they can't afford to encounter losing streak or a one time big losses.

But there's no gender separation nor restriction since anyone can gamble regardless of gender. There are also cases that women involve in risky cases but there's only few of them but anyways its still the same and we cannot say gambling is just a guy thing since anyone can participate on anything they like.

The most probable reason for that is the difference in the nature of both genders. Women tend to be more patient and fewer risk-takers when it comes to things involving finances, and when it comes to gambling, we all know that it is all about taking risks, you risk your own money to get some more with it, but the chances of losing the money are higher than winning something on top of it, and women don't like deals like that because they can't see their money going just like that.

That is probably the reason why women don't tend to gamble a lot, some of them that take the risk and gamble tend to have enough self-control that they don't get addicted, and once they lose a certain amount of money, they simply stop gambling after that and never return to it while men can't do that.

Gambling is not a people thing and gambling is usually played by everyone, it is not compulsory and now a days men as well as girls are very skilled. With the modernity the appearance of gambling has changed but it should be played only as a means of entertainment. Addictiveness puts people at risk. Risk is what drives the interest in participating in the game, not personal enjoyment or harm. When risk taking for profit becomes central to society, the long standing culture of slowly increasing income in exchange for labor seems redundant. It is never safe and he gets easily discouraged from gathering the same amount of safe food every day. Gambling causes harm and gambling cannot be stopped, unless the person addicted to gambling stops it with their own morale.

Why does is seem like it is obligatory that it's only men that must look for money by all means,Gambling is not a thing that gives joy,and if you have been a victim of gambling,you cant advice someone to actually become addicted to it,but in this part of the word,since it looks as if it's men that are placed with the responsibility of looking for money by all means,but i have actually seen women that gamble too,but when we see those kind of girls or women,we label them untrained,or something in us seems to tell they are irresponsible,but while we are gambling,nothing in us tell us we are going astray because as far as I'm concerned, gambling has done us more harm than good.So to me,it is not even safe to say gambling is a guy thing.

If you look at the top of the pyramid, then men are certainly dominant, but I think (if you remember about all their negative records) that it is worth taking some average indicators - it is obvious that there are more women in the middle of the pyramid. Therefore, probably on average, no one dominates. If we draw a gambling analogy, then men are the ones who go all in more often (and obviously as a result they dominate among the total losers and among those who win the most) and women play more carefully.

Hi, Sandra_hakeem or Sandra 🧑‍🦰

Women play in the same percentage as men depending on the type of game, it is a false belief that women have low betting habits or do not access pc games (etc) in "stampede" like man.

At least in this part of the Western world, imho, not including the cultural affairs of certain countries.

If you enter a land-based casino, in fact if it is a bingo room, the proportion of women is above 50% and if you enter the slots, it is almost always the same story, when you go to table games like blackjack, poker, roulette and there if things change, I would say that it is 80-20(%).

Now the issue that men are more inclined to gambling, where is the study that supports your feeling, is more a matter of what was mentioned above, a woman is addicted to gambling in the proportion of the game that she is passionate about.

Now, it is not possible to cover up or despising your idea radically, because socially it is the sensation that it always leaves, but believe me it is a stigma more than a reality, it is like the fallacy that the infidels are men, in my opinion in that sense the Women have greater responsibilities associated with their role as mother and wife, therefore they are willing to assert responsabilities it, better than men.

I'm going to SIGN: famososMuertos+𝓛𝒶⛧𝑒ෆ𝓢

I would ask you, why do you do it, it is necessary, but you are not the only one, there are several users who have to do it, I would say that all those who sign like this are women.  

There are also some women who like to gamble, it is based on everyone's preferences not because of gender entirely. mostly men who gamble because several studies show that men tend to have an impulsive attitude, while women tend to have a more careful attitude when making a decision and think about the consequences and risks for the long term. It is more than a concept of decision making that is different for men and women. The majority of women do spend a lot to beautify themselves and some are happy with their work.
