Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling]

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Personally, I have never known or met a woman practicing gambling, and therefore any attempt to make a comparison will necessarily lack objectivity, given that there must be women in this field, albeit in a small percentage.
At the same time, I firmly believe that women generally do not prefer activities that contain high risks, such as gambling or trading. I also believe that this is a genetic difference between men and women, like many other differences between the sexes that can be seen in many statistics; For example, some men commit crimes much more than women, just as there are men who specialize in philosophy more than women. Honestly, I don't think there is a logical explanation other than this.

I am not sure there is a general gender-specific difference that can actually be sufficiently important as to be classed as gender-related. Men traditionally are more "aggressive" while women are more "cunning". But there are aggressive women and cunning men so to speak about women and men as a category does not fly. I guess this is general for most theoretically gender-specific traits.

The gender differences between man and woman is equally justified because since we have men and women specification there must be a class struggle between the two,  while men are more risk takers,  women on the other hand love security, and guarantee,  this is why women don't take the careless risk.

And when it comes to gambling,  it belongs to the men because the men willing to contribute

Very well said my friend, and I completely agree with you, the qualities of women as loving security and guarantees is what makes them a better managers than men, not referring to women in general though, but for the ones who truly have this mentioned qualities, women being better managers is what also contributes to success as gamblers, like previously said, it is difficult to find woman who is a chronic gambling addict, and so also it is with drinking alcohol and taking drugs, though there are still women who are addicted to this things, but the rate is not as worst as that of men.

But then, I believe some users will still say that maybe their low participations to this things also contributes to their low addiction rate, this can be true though, but not entirely.

Oops! So you could gamble against a woman and also go less being strict on her, this sounds unique and strange or maybe i should say rare to found with many gamblers especially when it comes to the issue of money being involved,i think your kind of move will make the women have more confidence towards gambling because it creates a reduced atmosphere for fear common with women from gambling.

Not everyone get carried away by issue of money and some of us are gentlemen, I was thought to always go easy on women as I had lots of sisters and girl relative growing up so I will always considered them my responsibility to protect and not see them sad or in losses.

I know this is a problem I face that's why I said I'll avoid playing against a woman because I'll automatically become soft. With men I can be as brutal as possible but if it's a woman a side of my that protected my sister when we were growing up makes me soft against them.

Woman are been treated badly as they go through so much discrimination because of their gender, for example in some culture women are prohibited from gambling or they can't do it openly because they'll be judged and all this make it unfair to woman but with online gambling things are changing.

Honestly, I think this research/study is a bit biased and I believe it's based on prejudices more than being based on facts and correct numbers.
Imo, there is no difference between men and women when it comes to gambling and how much each gender is willing to take risks. In fact I believe women are more risk takers than men and there are many examples in history that can confirm this. Just my two cents, though.

I don't think that anyone can deny that women are generally more rational than men when it comes to things like gambling. Maybe they partake occasionally for some fun, but rarely you will find one bending their will to try and beat the imbalanced odds. While men are more inclined to try and win, thus getting hooked into trying to beat the odds despite the odds being against them.

I think the research is somewhat accurate though it does always vary person to person. You will find some women who also want to conquer the odds while some men know that there is no point in trying. I think with the changing landscape having more women who are self made, individual and determined, more female gamblers will increase the statistics.

Ideally, no one should gamble.

The women are leaving that gender limitations to try out more risky endeavours, taking their chance which is what gambling itself is all about. If you try today with fear to win small then the next time you want to increase your chances of winning big

Ideally, no one should gamble.

Unfortunately it can't be stopped, even the bible story recorded it and in fact the rate of gambling is increasing which is the reason for more gambling and gaming companies all over the internet. Currently, the highest numbers of signature campaigns in the forum are on gambling and casinos. I think the means of source of income is now mixed with professionalism and luck based, unlike in the past that it was strictly on acquisition of skills both unskilled, semi skilled and skilled .

The casino was not created just for men, it is for all those who decide that they want to gamble, that's how simple it is to understand. Like, it doesn't matter if you're a woman or a man, old or young. As long as anyone thinks of gambling anyone can do it whether it is online or physical gambling. Now, in the reality of what is happening, it is obvious that most of these are all male players, only a few women play and with that little, it probably becomes more of a challenge to other male gamblers in my opinion.

In gambling platforms such as casinos, they do not differentiate and are not special, everyone has the same rights and gets the same facilities for gambling at casinos, that is why there is no difference whatsoever between the two, both from casino services, the fact is that, as you said, women are rarely seen in casinos that gamble because the average is almost 90% are men.

After all, why do you have to discuss the discussion about the differences between women and men in this thread if in the end there is nothing different from the two of them in casino games, everything remains the same, namely playing as a gambler looking for money as well as pleasure, maybe female gamblers tend to look for money to survive rather than gambling for having fun.

I am sure that there are women who are active in betting and gambling, albeit at a very small rate compared to males, but I do not have accurate numbers or statistics that can prove this. Even the studies that exist, I do not know how they were able to predict the percentage of females who practice gambling, especially since women hide this activity because of social stigma, as you mentioned. So how can we predict what their favorite games are and even study those choices?

These gender based statistics and gambling are always going to be biased and based on the opinion of the author!

Of course these number might be based on some kind of survey but what are we saying for women that play poker  or men that play slots Honestly the stats are inconclusive!!!

All I can say is that men are high risk takes, while most  women are on the reserved side of things...a reason why insurance premiums for women being lower than the men's!!

I really believe that the mindset of women and men is very different when gambling, usually women prioritize feelings in any case when compared to men, men rarely use feelings in gambling, logic is preferred, so I quite support this research

That's not true. They can be based on simple math because that's what statistics usually are.
You choose a casino or two that do KYC and you count how many men and women registered there.
Then you compare the money wagered by each of these groups and their win/lose ratio. You can also count how much money they wagered in a single bet, but that could take a lot of time.

Tell me which one of these statistics would be biased and explain how math can be biased.

Actually, men are also emotional in gambling, otherwise they wouldn't chase losses and become addicted, since those aren't logical behaviors. I think men and women are equally intense, although on different kinds of situations. Men tend to be more intense on risky situations which involve a high level of adrenaline, while women are more intense on their social interactions and relationships.

It's like men are fire and women are ice, but both need each other to reach perfect balance.

There's no way that we could be able to see it here on crypto space but for sure there are some women who do play gambling on this space and even if we do see on physical places then there are
women who are really that fan on playing gambling which i dont really see anything wrong with this. Gambling is for everyone and its not something that needs up to limit on a specific gender.
As long you do have the money then you could play anytime anywhere. THere's no such thing about gender limitation or prohibition.It is really just that men are more adventurous
and this is why we do see more men than women on gambling field and this is something not cant really be handled out that well because it is way too risky and you could be losing money big time.
Women we know is that they dont really like risks and they do love on playing safe most of the time or on something on which they could see that they could benefit on
or would really suit out on their interest.

It is easy to do the calculation,since there is statistics of female gambler and male gambler and how much they wager. Nobody will manipulate the figure because one needs the fact of which gender gamble more. I believe that male are the ones that gamble more and it must be the male that came up with gambling concept ever since gambling history.

The females have no option than to go along with Whatever the men does to have fun. There are some females that loves partaking in events or games that men does because they want to learn and become an expert. So I don't think why one will feel that the number of female gamblers are equal to that of men

There are definitely women who are active in gambling, but not so much because women have different thoughts from men.
We can see as a whole that men are always willing to take risks which force them to bet aggressively while women bet using a more realistic mind and are very careful.
I also have a hunch that not many women can last long to always gamble because female gamblers will always get bored quickly and leave gambling as soon as possible.

[blockman]

The same stereo is being done for those males that are into gambling. People in my country will think of them as people that are not good in finances and they have no future. So, there's no far difference from the stereotype that both genders are having. I guess it varies from the cultural setting and the span of the gambler on how long he's been gambling. I know people, females actually that are in gambling and the reality on what's being said on them were true that they've got crap finances and they can't help themselves on many situations.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I have always seen that not only in games of chance but in all games, we men pay much more attention to games of anything than to women, some women or the majority worry or are more interested in other things, I don't blame them, but I also know some girls who really like the casino, gambling, in fact there are some who are fans of PS5 , and they play much better than some men , so due to the fact of gender I don't see that it's very important , there are just some things that men are like more insistent when it comes to games, that can be the difference.

[pakhitheboss]

The article is saying the truth,both men and women are involved in gamble and as long as it is gambling risk is part of it. It is noticed that men are more into gambling that women because men are more skillful in games than women.

In my area,when I go to an offline casino with my friends,if there are gamblers everywhere, you will only see few women among us due to the fact that women think less on gambling activities. Women are after how to look beautiful and looking good as their hobby. All these distracts them away from gambling.

The reason why I feel men are more into gambling is because men have the ability to take decisions based on logic. Women's decisions are more based on emotion and less on logic. Another reason I think is that men are more into sports than women, as gambling is considered a sport that might be the reason we find fewer ladies at physical casinos & online casinos.

The differences in gambling between women and men are not solely determined by gender, I guess it's more about individual factors. There are some general differences between women and men, but it all comes down to personal choices, experiences, and motivations that drive all of us in one way or another.

In the end, gambling doesn't make a difference between genders. It doesn't matter whether you are a man or a woman when it comes to gambling. There is just placing bets and waiting for the outcome... in simple words, it doesn't matter who holds the cards, what matter is how someone plays those cards.

When you talk about online gambling, there is no restrictions in place and anyone can gamble provided they have created an account and fulfilled other conditions like KYC etc. I haven't heard that any online casino is made specifically for men or women.

In physical casino, there may be some that  allow only men and not women but that maybe very limited in numbers. Most of the physical casino also allow both genders and do not descriminate between the two.

I think gambling is something which is for both men and women equally and both can have fun and earn money through it.

The fact is the is no gender differentiation in gambling and both women and man gamble but then men gamble in a higher percentage more than women and records have shown that to be true since the number of active in gambling is higher than that of women, because men seems to be more open for risk-taking compared to women so that is why we have a higher number of women in gambling or other high-risk activities
