Topic: The shocking rate of women interested in gambling. - page 16. (Read 2260 times)

I believe this depends on several cultural factors.
In my country, women who bet in a sportbook or in a gambling house are really rare. I have never seen a women place a bet in a "live corner" ...Those who do it just for "fun" maybe with friend and sporadically.

Different however with people who buy "scratch cards". instead it becomes a discussion of "gender equality" there is practically the same interest between men and women.

What is surprising about women getting involved in gambling activities?  They are also human and they had been interested in gambling since ancient time but due to their status being under man's league, they are given less attention.  As a matter of fact ancient Rome even give a special day for women to gamble but they are not allowed in regular days.


Women actions are limited during the ancient days since they are prohibited either by the state or the head of the family to engage in gambling activities.  In the current era, women are free to do and engage in gambling activities so as I stated, it wasn't a surprise at all if we saw the statistics of women engaging in gambling balloon.

Even the sudden rush of women into the field is as of a result of the activeness of the female genders in different field and that includes also the gambling industry and besides the world is now too open that women are kept on the side bench on some particular events and that also includes gambling and I believe the social media and the evolving world aslo had a great impact on this  because their mentality can easily change when they see other female doing it and also the impact stories of how it is beneficial too can change their thoughts.

Same thoughts, That's why there are more and more women who are interested in gambling, especially in online gambling apps because the advertisements that appear through online social media platforms attract attention and are very promising.
The number of men who gamble is actually more because they are the experts and pioneers when it comes to gambling, it seems to be the nature of men to learn quickly and get better when it comes to gambling but this is just my opinion based on what I see personally especially in our place.

Gambling has been used for socializing in recent times, and I guess that also adds up to the reason as to why women are drawn into gambling. Furthermore, it has been normalized in a lot of countries that it's no longer a taboo anymore. I see lots of girl streamers who play casinos and other gambling games online, and the men viewers don't even flinch or dare teach them what's right or wrong. I don't see it as alarming as long as they have the money to back up their activities and not get addicted with it. At the least, there's no longer a clear divide between men and women on this.

Even talking about having 1/20 or 1/30 on which i could say that this isnt something that cant be known since there would really be having no global count or something.
For physical casinos then it might be possible that there would be some sort of counter but knowing on online world or even just talking with traditional payment system or fiat online casinos then it would really be hard to determine unless if they are basing with the card names that being used but speaking about crypto gambling then there's no way that we could be able to tell about those exact numbers but i do
agree into your point that it would never be happening that women would be able to beat up the number of males that deal up with gambling.

Women cant really just that be able to bare up the risks of losing so much money in gambling. For shopping then it might be but for gambling?It is really just that impossible.
This is why those numbers arent shocking imho...

Well. Since you are talking about women who gamble in a modern context, then it makes come sense many of them resort to social media to become gambler influencers or share their sport analysis. One does not think too much about why women could easily be successful within the ecosystem of gambling, actually. Most of people involved in gambling are men, if the woman who is involved in gambling as a good presence and attitude, she could easily catch the attention of those men and make them become loyal follower of her social media accounts. Specially in this era when women have more freedom to participate in all kinds of activities, like gambling, sports, working in previously men dominant jobs, etc.
Though, for now most women who wish to become influencers opt for doing the usual and share makeup tips, recipes, for become Twitch gamers, I have not yet stumbled with any girl or woman who actively shared her experiences or advices for gamblers on the internet, who knows. They may be still less than the 5% of people who influence in this ecosystem.

Yeah, women gamblers are increasing in number due to online casinos but I don't think they can even compete with the number of male gamblers. I don't think that even 1/4th of gamblers are women so I guess male gamblers will always be more in number because women aren't much interested in gambling as males and they really don't want to win and earn, they can easily take whatever they want by controlling their own husbands and boyfriends.

 After a thorough research, I've come to understand that the history of gambling could be traced far back to the ancient Chinese and was mostly practiced by men cause by then it didn't seem right for women to be involved in such act, Well it wasn't illegal for women but there where more men participating in casinos than women, but change they say is constant and as time passed, women gradually began to participate in the act and I think in the 19th if I'm not mistaken more women began to participate in it and by then a woman called Alice Iver Tubbs, also known as (Poker Alice) became a professional in gambling, history have it that she was very good with poker which led to the name Poker Alice.

 However in recent times we're beginning to see more gamblers who are woman emerge and though they're not yet equal to the amount of male gambler, a good amount of women globally have began to pick interest in it, since it's now being socialized, to back that up, I know some of my friends that participate in gambling and even play slot games as well as staking of the UEFA Champions League games, I know a friend who also love to stake on Al-Nassr cause her favourite football celebrity Ronaldo plays for the team. lol I won't also deny that she's gradually luring me into sports betting as well.

 Also the rate at which women are now picking interes in gambling is so alarming, there are a good number of female punters on the media with good fanbase and they give good betting advice, we all know that gambling does guarantee 100% success but if you follow their predictions you could get atleast 60 to 70% chances of winning the bet. That's to tell you how well women are now involving in gambling and as time passes there's a tendency for more women to indulge in it as well, since the social media have made gambling more popular and the fact that it involves sporting activities makes that more possible.
