Well, I can't really say I know the right reason that drives women to gamble, but I will say it's the same reason for male gamblers too. There was this woman in my place. She was really doing well in her business, but unfortunately, her husband died, and she was just taking care of all the bills herself until her business closed up. By then, she was already trying to have a relationship with another man, who happened to be her customer, while she was still running her business. But lastly, the man introduced the woman to gambling too, and up until now, the woman just keeps gambling, and according to her, the reason is to get extra income. So, I think women gamble for the same reason of making money too.
That's correct, same reason why others in provinces also use gambling as their escape from boredom. I've seen it and when you ask them that's the only reason they will provide. To kill time. I guess just like men, we also have different reasons why we gamble, some to satisfy our ego about winning, others to make money, and some to entertain themselves while taking out the stress that they feel.
My curiosity here is about why other people still look bad at women who gamble. It's just the same. Especially in this era where women are also working their asses to provide for their families, perhaps like men, they also want that alone time to entertain themselves and some women do like gambling more than others who like shopping to relieve their stress. The good part is, there are a lesser number of women who got addicted to gambling, I actually have never seen a news about that.
