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

[kotajikikox]

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 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

but how come they are going to area of gambling is what important here ,  Men usually gamble for fun and sometimes even just to risk but a Women  into gambling ? are mostly for money because of their family that relying in their hands to have food for their mouth .
it is rarely to see or find a women gambler that will only bet and risk just to have fun because they uses heart in everything they are entering.
though i  am not calling everyone but at least majority of them are?

Men or women does not care me because its all about money and the capacity to lose or win and to stay or stand.
women are too vulnerable and weak to have those attitude though of course some has the guts and behavior to act like man but this does not justify anything
and gambling still for Men since the beginning and till now of course.

I agree with the author. Women playing in casinos and sports betting are much less than men. The number of gambling women is 10 and even 15 times less than men

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, there are men who 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.

never meeting women who do gambling does not mean there are no women who do it, women tend to hide their gambling habits more for fear of being labeled by society as women gamblers, when online gambling is increasingly widespread there are many women who are involved in playing in it because women prefer slots over others (sports betting or cards).

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?

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.

This is my opinion from the beginning to explain this gender discrepancy in the practice of risky bets such as gambling or even trading digital and encrypted assets. This fundamentally biological genetic difference has evolved throughout history according to the status and function of each gender in society. Women really have a different perception of some things and treat them more cautiously than men. This certainly does not mean that there are no women at all in the areas of traded risk, but it can be considered that they prove the general rule which is that the field is almost monopolized by men.
This remains a personal position that can be discussed from different angles.

In gambling, there is no need for the heart if the basis of what you think to win is that you might get lucky. We also know that most of them are just taking a chance to win the prize in a casino, let's not be fooled here.
It's rare that people gamble just for fun or to pass the time, usually most people really hope that they might get lucky gambling in a casino. Especially for women who gamble, we often don't know their reason why they actually gamble.

[TheGreatPython]

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.

You are right that casinos or gambling was not created to be only for men or for a specific gender but it has actually become a thing that is used usually by men almost in every corner of the world, there might be women in modern countries that gamble but the quantity will always be low and there can be several reasons for that, but, this thread is actually discussing the differences between men and women in gambling.

Now what can we consider a difference? The choice of games, initial bets, gambling bankroll, or even specific cryptocurrencies in some cases. Women if they gamble would usually play games that don't need a lot of thinking or skills or something, that is the reason why slots are probably their favorites.

[Chipstars]

Stereotypically, gender is also cited as one of the reasons why people like to gamble. One of the research findings shows that women tend to prefer percentage-odds-based games and men tend to prefer skill-based games.

For example, poker, from a man's point of view is considered a skill-based gamble. While women see it as a game of calculating the odds.

In gambling, generally, women don't like it when others see them lose. Girls probably prefer slot machines because no one sees players win or lose.

Gambling with slot machines is often a personal experience free of guilt or shame. While the men are not like that.

According to research, when a man loses a gamble, there's a machismo attached to him saying, "Yeah, I lost £500, but I can afford it."

And when you win big, guys like it to be exposed right away. Because, they consider this as part of the skill.

This difference in reasons does not necessarily indicate whether men prefer to gamble than women. Women who like to gamble or men who like to gamble are both related to the courage to take risks.

For different reasons, people who like to gamble see it as fun and for reasons that are more complex than just economics.

Do you think the results of the research above are correct?

I know that the number of women involved in gambling is very small because in some countries, people's views of female gamblers are still very bad and they are considered dirty and unfit to be a wife. maybe the results of this research can be used by gambling business owners in developing their business.

It's fascinating to consider the role gender plays in gambling preferences. While this research certainly sheds light on some interesting trends, we have to remember that everyone is unique, with different tastes, attitudes, and comfort levels when it comes to risk.

It's true that societal pressures and stereotypes might influence individuals' gambling habits. However, as the gambling industry continues to evolve, particularly with the rise of online gambling, it's likely we'll see these trends shift.

The rise of online gambling platforms has created a space where players can participate privately, free from the gaze and judgment of others. This might make gambling more appealing to those who previously shied away due to societal expectations.

Casinos and other platforms can certainly use this kind of data to make their platforms more inviting to a diverse range of players. For instance, fostering a welcoming, judgment-free environment might attract more female players. However, most casino advertising is largely focused on males, since they are more likely to take risks and take immediate action. But of course, offering a mix of games - some based on luck, others on skill - can cater to different preferences and challenge traditional gender-based assumptions.

Ultimately, the key to a successful gambling business is understanding and catering to the needs of all your users, regardless of their gender. And that's very important. Especially online, we don't know who the players are until they inevitably go through KYC, at which point they are ready to withdraw their winnings. So from our perspective, it doesn't matter much. We are here for everybody looking for a good time.

According to my observations, of course, there are much fewer women players than men.  And of course, a woman who gambles, surrounded by observers and other players, always behaves differently than in other life situations. 
A woman always wants to be liked and I don't think it matters to her whether she wins or loses.  The main thing is that it looks spectacular and beautiful.  And in case of a loss, a woman can still count on the fact that the men around her will feel sorry for her a little and, accordingly, treat her with more care and tenderness. 
So it seems to me that many women even like to lose more because of this attitude, which becomes very pleasant for her.  In this sense, a woman only wins from the game in any case. 
This is how I think we should consider the game of women, but of course when she plays in a real casino where there are other players and not in the online version of the casino.  In general, this is a rather interesting subject for the study of a psychologist and.

People gamble because they want to win, as do men and women. But some men and women just play gambling for fun without thinking about the results they can get. And yes, they hope to win, but many don't realize that winning at gambling is difficult. They also won't be able to get that win too often so they have to realize that gambling is just for fun. If their goal were just fun, men and women would get it and getting that win was just a bonus for them.

There's no gender matter if someone losses and tries to defend themselves that they can afford to lose. That's like a normal defense whenever someone notices on how you've lost already.

There's no machismo on it but it's more of mechanism for every human being if it's about gambling or any losses that's being talked and pointed out.

We admit it or not but that's the reality that we say it's fine that I've lost this and that amount and so on.

[TopTort777]

But I think there is a gender matter in gambling. For example have you seen much women placing bets? I usually see men. Have you seen much women in sports betting bars? In general, women seems to less interested in sports than men. With table games and slots it is a bit different. There, I would say we have representative of both genders, however I would say there are more men. Men and women both like to take risk, but I usually notice women playing slots. Cant explain why, but slots are often occupied by women.

Their reason is also the same with men, as they gamble to hope to win or have fun and pass time. Gambling is not gender selective; it is just that most men are interested in gambling, unlike women, because they tend to always think that they just lose their money there and it is not good to gamble as they can't get something. But those who gamble are women, for sure, and they want to win big and have fun. But because of the norm today that seeing a woman in gambling is a rare scenario, most men think badly of that woman.

I agree with the author. Women playing in casinos and sports betting are much less than men. The number of gambling women is 10 and even 15 times less than men

any links where can we find that ratio mate? because that seems to be a little for a women vs man ratio ?

This is a very interesting topic and it is worth digging into it, but I don't know any recent studies which compare gambling habits between men and women and the reasons for these differences.

In fact, I don't think this is only a matter of gender, but I think it also differs from place to place: slight biological differences may play a role, but cultural differences are the main reason IMO. And, in fact, I'm witnessing a notorious change in our culture in that matter, with new generations of girls playing football and being fans of sports teams, making a career as professional poker players, etc. which was unconceivable a few years ago.

[Betwrong]

It's often believed that men are more inclined to be risk-takers than women, not only in gambling but also in the investing world. The majority of investors are indeed men. Similarly, in gambling, it is true that most high-risk takers are men, while women tend to gamble more for entertainment purposes.

Furthermore, some women enjoy gambling even more when they are not using their own money.

Then we, as men, should learn from them, don't you think?

I personally think that there's no significant difference, especially in the countries where women have equal rights with men. Of course, in places where women have basically no rights at all you can see that all gamblers are men. And that has an impact on world statistics, by the way.

I have not seen a female gambler in my life but I heard that women are also gambling. A male gambler told me that, there is a girl in his compound that play all kind of games, plus virtual games. As for me, I will not agree with that you result because if female are playing gamble then there are some women that would also play. Women see porker game as calculative game then men would also it from that angle, porker is not a skillful game but a calculative games.

What do you mean? Isn't calculating the probabilities a skill? Isn't creating the wrong impression about your style a skill?

Just use Google before posting, mate. And then you'll learn that it's poker not porker.(You used the word two time so I guess it wasn't a typo). It has nothing to do with eating pork or something. It's an interesting game of skill. And yes, some women are very good at it.

Well I don't know if I got your points clear but I'm sure there are gender segregation when it comes to gambling and tye truth is that there are some hobbies, occupation  and activities  that are associated  to a particular gender and gambling is one of those activities and I don't know of other countries  but in my country, it seems like a taboo seeing  a woman gamble and to make things worst, gambling in a physical casino and I believe the Men already own the gambling industry  and it will take a very long time to get women fit in.

[Queentoshi]

I believe the Men already own the gambling industry  and it will take a very long time to get women fit in.

It will be terrible if women completely fit in and take over the grambling industry and start acting and having gambling problems like most men who gamble do. A lot of things will go wrong if a woman becomes a gambling addict, if she is married, it will be worse because money that will be given to her by her husband to manage the home and take care of the children will be cut and some used for gambling unless she has her own money. When her own money finishes, that money she was given to manage the home will be touched.

Does mathematics a skill? Well everyone see things in different ways. So there will be no argument on that. Hey! I am not a google master searching engine, everything produce from experience. It is not a typo but it is already my keypad generated word and I was unconscious to correct it, thank you for bringing it to my notice. I think you also have a similar issue above.

I do believe that women do not play as much, compared to men the interest of men is greater, that does not mean that there are no female fans of casinos, only that the statistics that say that they are fewer may be very true When I go into physical casinos, not many but those that are from around here in Ecuador, I always see more presence of men than women, and I have seen they are the wives of some of the men who take them, they some of them They give money for them to make their own bets, but men are the ones who bet the most , they are the ones who spend the most money , on the other hand I have Seen a less crazy attitude towards betting on the part of the women.

[letteredhub]

Everyone is free to give his own interpretation on women interaction with gambling but what we will all arrived at is that we cannot compare the rate of women participation to that of men in gambling, maybe we can give some reasons like how women were believed to be weaker vessels unlike men in most cases, their dedication and commitments to the house and the family especially in taking care of the children at home, lastly maybe our women may not have that boldness of taking risk associated to gambling because some depends on their earnings to take care of the family.

A man may see an specific odd and view it as opportunity to double his catch that he sees no issues placing a bet of $1M on the odd meanwhile 9 out of ten women may see that as crazy, having a hundred useful things they can do with such money in their life and that of her children and the whole household .  This and other factors has made the dedication of women in gambling to be very low that it looks as if gambling is a man's thing alone.
