Title: Women in Gambling
Post by: palle11 on August 02, 2021, 09:39:45 AM
Gambling is looked at as the business of men just like football but these none of these are exclusive to the men folks anymore even though it still carry the face of men becyof how society relate with it. Things have started changing with the known saying that "what a man can do , women can also get it done". I'm also yet to see the men area of live that women have not dived into.

On gambling, I see the increasing speed of women also in this area especially with the opportunity of growing online casinos and poker games that they can play from home alone or with their husbands. But for physical gambling that they need to visit a gambling store, maybe they still a little withdrawn not as online either because they are shy or just not convenient for them .

What could make a woman take to gambling ? Can it be for fun or for the need to make profit for the family?

However, I have below women that have distinguished themselves in the gambling games.

Quote
Judy Bayley, known as the First Lady of Gambling, was the first woman in Nevada to own a gambling establishment. This was in the mid-1900s. History has shown that where there is a successful man, there is a successful woman.

Quote
Women continue to succeed in the gambling industry, though they’re still often viewed through a male lens. Today, more women prove themselves in many male-ruled sectors, and this trend is set to continue.

Are you sure about it? Gambling doesn't come with a tagline that it's an all male club. Women are welcomed is gambling as much as men are welcomed.

Unless someone is a professional gambler (gamble for living) I don't think making money should be a goal ever. It's purely for fun and relaxation. Yes, addicted gamblers are there who tries to make a fortune through gambling, but that should be seen as exception.

So the pictures you have posted, they are possibly professional gamblers who makes a living through it. But ideally neither Man nor Women should gamble to run their families.

You just have to go to a local landbase casino and see how many women are into gambling. Also, it's more of a partner thingy, if the husband is onto gambling, 90% of it their wife or girlfriend are also into gambling. So yeah, there are no boundaries, some can become professional poker players and can even compete with me. And so with any other sports as well, women/ladies also succeed. So gambling is not a all male dominated industry.

Vanessa Selbst cannot be consider as Woman gambler because though her Gender is female yet He lives like a man all his days so Maybe lets cross Him out there.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

but i totally agreed on how female gamblers increase nowadays , back in the years i rarely seen woman playing in casinos with us but now? sometimes the ratio even get higher from 3 men to 2 woman  and this is rarely happen in the past.

Curious that the OP gives 4 examples of which 3 are female poker players, a game that many of us do not consider gambling, as they are not inexorably EV-.

On gambling, I see the increasing speed of women also in this area especially with the opportunity of growing online casinos and poker games that they can play from home alone or with their husbands. But for physical gambling that they need to visit a gambling store, maybe they still a little withdrawn not as online either because they are shy or just not convenient for them .

It's the same with porn. When it was necessary to go to a physical place to buy/rent porn, practically no woman watched porn and if she did it was usually in a couple. As soon as they were able to play/view porn pseudo-anonymously the number of women increased. In any case, I think that in percentage terms women will always be less than men. Gambling has more to do with risk and testosterone. And in my opinion, poker does not enter here, because the players take calculated risks combined with guessing, and when they play live, they also read tells from other players.

Gambling and everything in this world doesn't have any gender discrimination, any gender should be treated equally. The reason why those women are playing gambling is that they have the talent to make profits in gambling, cause why not play if you have the skills to make money in gambling, right?.

Or maybe they are just bored with the wealth they have therefore they try to play gambling to have a pastime and entertainment. In short, we don't personally know their reasons but playing gambling no matter what your gender is, is completely legal and there's nothing wrong with it.

I always have an open mind and gambling is not only for men
to be honest, women can be very dangerous at the gambling table, they are very careful when they think

In poker, accuracy and the courage to take risks are very much needed
if I meet the three women in the picture while playing poker then I will definitely lose :D

You probably just see less women on big casinos or on televised gambling events but not when you look at your neighborhood hehe. There are many mothers who plays different types of card games and mahjong when they're done with their household chores. You may call a past time but it's still gambling when they bet on it.

Men or Women, the reason will be the same, it can be because to get money or just for fun, women can still be involved in gambling because there is no prohibition against it. At my place before the pandemic there was even a special group of women who gathered to play card gambling and do it almost every day.

Gender does not matter in gambling; it is a recreational activity that anyone can participate in without making gender a factor in the game. Women's gambling is very common in my country; you can see them playing bingo or tongits on any street.

You'll only see a few women in casinos because gambling isn't their favorite recreational activity; they'd rather go shopping than waste time gambling; they'll prioritize what makes them happy. Don't make gambling a male activity only just because majority of the players are male.

You know, the world has often placed women in places that, they feel a lot of discomfort to settle for and as such, have always stepped out of the corner to prove the famous slogan 'what men can do, a woman can do better'. As such, you have women in every field of life. Its of no surprise women are in the gambling industry and by right, they should but, its only proportional because, things that comes with aggression if not properly managed is designated for men. It's the reason why, your most likely to see men in gambling shops than women. The roles wemon plays are often mid but, women actually being on the table gambling is something.
Though, gambling is always going to be gambling about its rules and the stakes that are involved remains the same. Luck with high probability. Good luck to them players.

I often see women in real casinos, mostly women, this is a sign that these women are also involved in real gambling in general is money and money.

In my country mostly bars and discotheques 70% women, from entertainers to gambling, my opinion men and women as a whole engage in casino gambling for their money and enjoyment, For this reason, many can find in gambling places where the majority are women.

Currently, many women have an active role in all sectors, government, parliament, gambling, discotheques, including the president in several countries, including women, maybe this world has turned around, women have played a role in front of all businesses, men are housewives... joking.

It is true that most people consider gambling to be a thing or a vice mostly for the males, but undercover, some women are gamblers who are even more addicted than some males especially in recent times.

In an article that examines the gambling behaviour of women and why women gamble, it is stated that most women who gamble picked up the habit at a later stage in life and some do it because of loneliness or due to bereavement. It has been analysed that women unlike men who like to gamble individually and play games like poker etc, women like to gamble visit casino houses in groups and will rather play the slot machines, and other specialty games.

Even in the terms of losing a gamble, women handle it a whole lot differently than males.

While growing up we had shared responsibility for both genders and there were things we saw as absurd when a lady engages in them. But the world at large has changed. Education and civilization has removed lots of gender limitations creating rook for both genders to share equal leverage. I enjoy seeing females who gamble responsibly not getting too involved but at least for the fun of it

So gambling is not a all male dominated industry.

I remember back in 2018, I used to accompany my brother to casinos where I would be the one to stop him from his gambling sprees. Based on my observation, there are actually lots of women who gamble on casinos. Usually, these women are accompanied by some rich Chinese guy who let those woman play on their behalf.

In addition, there were also some arcade games here in the Philippines where some people bet their money (Tom's world- racing game). Mostly, women participate and spend most of their time betting inside the arcade.

The bottomline is- gender is irrelevant as to gambling. Anyone can bet either for entertainment or for profit. It just depends upon the individuals need at the time being.

Anyone can gamble regardless of gender, whether female or male because basically there are no official rules that state that gambling is only for men. Maybe in some casinos there are such rules which are specially made at the discretion of the casino owner.
In order to avoid something that usually harasses women for men who flirt with crazy seduction. But again, gambling is actually not only for men, but most gambling is still dominated by men.

Neighborhood often play some game which they called Bingo and you don't often see men playing with them, they are on their own. They always like that almost every day because no one tells them to stop since their husband is not home probably at work. They are free doing it but for a woman who does that every day, it's not praise-worthy you know. Of course, they are free to do what they want but not to the extent they forgot their responsibility as a mother who will be the first teacher of her children.

I saw news of some women who have already won considerable sums in gambling, but about the low involvement of women in gambling the explanation is very simple: women are more responsible than men especially in money management and they prefer to use money to buy women's clothes and things than bring money to be at the gambling. while men are more involved in gambling because men are less responsible towards women when it comes to managing household expense money

I have seen a some of a gambling activities that a women are more involved than men. And there is nothing that a gender hinders in gambling because some cases women can beat a men in and women are more responsible in what they're doing. But yeah most of the gambling activities that a women are more involved are like cards game like mahjong, tong its or other known as poker. In casino type of gambling I've seen only few women that I think only those who can afford to play this game can gamble but one thing I can say in gambling the genders didn't define who can only gamble.

I believe women participation in gambling industry is probably the same of men. I see both genders very involved in gambling. Women and specially old ladies love slots machines, cards, lottery and bingo games.
It's easy to conclude that just by going to a land based casino or by watching some movies which display gambling scenes.

Money. They may say they just want to have fun but surely there are more ways to have fun than playing slot machine or dice. We are all in a rat race and women are among us who also want to succeed in life and everyone needs money.

They could also be successful like the men in  sports. Women can do the same and sometimes can be more sucessful.

Gambling never limit gender but I believe gambling will only limit anyone who has no money. Getting a woman to gamble is still very difficult in my country where gambling is prohibited but I am quite used to seeing it on YouTube and it seem they are quite used to sitting at tables with other male gamblers. I see they are quite happy to do it even though I feel gambling is very synonymous with men. Women are not limited to doing anything that men can do including gambling, as long as they can afford it then I don't think they should be banned.

Have you gone to a casino and if you have gone you will not make this claim as you will see everyone from each and every folks of life irrespective of color and creed and you cannot put sex into this conversation because in a casino there is no distinction between sexes.

On gambling, I see the increasing speed of women also in this area especially with the opportunity of growing online casinos and poker games that they can play from home alone or with their husbands. But for physical gambling that they need to visit a gambling store, maybe they still a little withdrawn not as online either because they are shy or just not convenient for them .
I cannot speculate about online casino as you cannot assume that everyone playing is of one sex, the gambling house that ask for KYC can give you a solid answer regarding that and if you have the skills in poker you can be a world class player and i am not even good at poker and whenever i win i consider them as fluke.

Same is with my country. Gambling is much limited, and when it comes to women into gambling it is an unusual thing. Maybe there are women who gamble online for fun/money. Recently myself too saw women coming out of casino in a very casual manner on a gold digger prank video. Our countries need to grow to reach such level of access for women.

They are more into other things and not that engaged much with gambling, that's the good thing from women as the attention is not focused alone with one activities they have lots of things inside their minds best to counter any addictions.

Men and women are welcome to gamble, as long as they have the skills to play. They have the freedom at will to be a gambler wherever he is. Even though it sounds a bit excessive if a housewife gambles, her husband stays at home taking care of his children. I believe not all countries allow women to gamble, usually in some countries women are still considered as housewives who work at home taking care of the house and taking their children to school.

Indeed! both genders are welcome and they are free to decide if they wanted to push or they are not going to go deep,

though you said right, there are still places that women considered as housewife and the main concern is only to take good care of the family.

They care probably because they are curious about it. Also, it's a rare thing to see women do gambling I mean they are more sensible with money compare to males who are testosterone fueled to play on even though they are losing every time. Yes you are right that we shouldn't care but that doesn't mean that we aren't allowed to be curious and ask questions.

Annette is very young but she is already very good at playing poker and making millions of dollars...

I wonder what they do on a day-to-day basis when they're not in poker competitions, do they train themselves by continuing to play or do what women normally do at home?

I'm confused if I think of them as role models, because surely people don't want their friends, children or sisters to be poker players. even so they are still the greatest woman.

Gambling doesnt really limit out something when it comes to gender and just like with other natural things or in any activity then theres always some gender inequality and im aint surprised if there

are people whom do really think that Women shouldnt touch gambling at all but it is actually having the same impressions or things in mind that theres nothing that women cant do.

Gambling doesnt really mind of since it isnt really needing whether you're a girl or boy as long you can able to play and when it comes to winning then they are also having those chances.

No offence to feminists, but it seems to me that women who are successful at the game of poker differ from other women by their high iq! They keep gambling because they're good at it and they enjoy it! I could say the same about the cryptocurrency craze... According to my observations, smarter women are engaged in stock trading or investing...

You made a good list of prominent poker woman, but Vanessa selbst is not a good example in my opinion. She definitely lost more money than she won.

Lol but your judgement is nothing to deny the woman the spot she occupy on the social media which of course was done through a survey I guess so certainly.

Meanwhile, every gambler or trader has their time that they recorded losses both huge and small. Or you have her record to show why she wouldn't be on the record  ???

Women in the gambling industry are common in my opinion. There is nothing different between women and men in this industry except for gender-specific gambling. It's actually quite easy to see a woman gambling or working in a casino in countries where gambling is legal and I think they are often used as a symbol to attract other male gamblers. In online casino, the use of photo of sexy women is much more frequent than that of handsome men. I don't know any of the women in the OP, but they seem to be women with a much higher interest in gambling than the other women.

Every women have their own reason to gamble and we have to respect it, either to have fun or to make money its all depend to then and we should not care about it that much because they are always welcome in gambling. Some women are more risk taker, they gamble very well and that’s why some other great players are women. Though there are still a discrimination at some areas, hopefully women will not be discourage because of this.

It is true that in the past the televised poker we've seen has been heavily weighted towards men at the table. Not that it is right at all, but I think women in the past have found themselves with a lot of unnecessary attention in all walks of life - so they might get some sleaze directed at them on the tables or abuse that might not be directed at guys. While in things like weightlifting there is clearly a difference in ability and men get a large edge from natural testosterone, there is no such limitations when it comes to the power of the mind at the poker tables and it would be nice to see many more conquering the tables now they have increasingly safer environments. It would be nice to think that they are silently dominating the world of online poker behind anonymous aliases.

Risk aversion is the term, I mean men prefer to take big risk as compare to women, maybe that's how we are build on made, our genetic make up is different from the women.

But it doesn't mean that there are a few percentage of women not willing to gamble. There's a lot of them, maybe it's the reward ratio, or the rush that gave to them similar to men.

Men are adventurous in all angle, they are able to risk more than on what women could do and thats why we do see that there are lots of men are engaged into certain things but there are women who do able

to catch up and able to do even though there are really differences on some point when it comes to physical abilities or even just on being risk taker then doesnt mean that they cant do similar thing.

Gender inequality is something always a problem in the society now where majority is belittling women that they cant do on what man can do.

It could be both, for fun and making their own profits (not for the family I guess). These days, gender restrictions are doesn't matter anymore, there are numerous women outside that already involved in several fields which identically belong to men such as sports (e.g MMA) or even business. Women also have the freedom to choose what would they do in their life.
