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

[so98nn]

I never thought there would be such deep calculations behind the gambling based on genders. I’m not sure what’s the final outcome on this but it seems it’s unpredictable and there are just endless streams of logics to it. Gambling is something we play for fun and earn. I don’t think it is gonna be fruitful discussion ever. It’s not about the gender and who plays why. It’s all about we play it. Females are also proceeding to new heights when it comes playing anything that male used to do before. Whether it’s sports, whether it’s gambling there is no big difference these days. Everything is played equally. I think.

You spoke really well, gender has never been a barrier in gambling for as far as I've known, so the debate as to which gender gambles the more is an unnecessary debate really, but then, it's understandable that the world we live in today are filled with many who are not so busy, so they take up any thing that comes to their mind as a research, so as to try to kill time.

And as to gambling just being about having fun and earning, I am afraid but not very many gamblers see gambling as such,  the majority of gamblers will tell you that if it was really about having fun, they know better ways to spend their money, most see gambling as another business to make money from, even though they don't say it publicly, it's what is buried in their hearts.

I don't see anything wrong even if women go to land-based casinos to gamble alongside men, if their culture, their religion, and their country allow that, why not? Gambling knows no gender discrimination, whether you are a man or a woman, you can gamble, play any game that you like, bet on sports events, or do any sort of gambling that you deem fit for yourself and you think that you can play it with ease and have got the funds for it.

I personally don't think that women that gamble hide it from others because generally, the women who gamble are not from such backward-thinking places, and if a woman gambles who lives somewhere where it is not considered good, then it might be the reason for them to hide their gambling activities.

There really isn't anything wrong with that. But if some traditions or cultures make women look embarrassed when playing gambling in their country, I don't think women will want to show it to the public either. They would prefer to gamble secretly, perhaps in their room or alone.

Well, this might just be a cultural thing because not all countries allow gambling in their country, and there might be an opinion that if a woman gambles, it will look shameful when it depends on the woman too. Indeed, gambling knows no gender where men and women are free to play gambling or choose to stay away from gambling. But we are talking about a culture still held by some people from certain countries.

Gambling gender? Isn't that over? Gambling cats vs. dogs? But I understand that curious individuals need to research. I'm conflicted about gambling's "fun and earning" aspect. Yes, many see it as another way to make money, and that's fine. Let's not overlook the fun. Gamblers enjoy the adrenaline, unpredictability, and crazy! It's insanely exciting and maybe profitable. As long as you're not betting everything, it's fine!

Actually there's no gender specification in just playing gambling because anyone can play gambling anytime they want people seeing most likely the men playing gambling because they are more risk takers than the woman and we know how to become practical thinking by the woman and it if ideal to deal with or not because of way to risky than making another way to earn money. But at the end we cannot deny there are really skilled players including woman in this field so they conquer and beat their enemies with different strategies.

[Youngkhngdiddy]

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.

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.

 OP you're partially right because the number of females that's has interest in gambling is not very much compared to males, and in the 80's and 90's some society do not tolerate or allow their daughters to partake in the act of gambling, and anyone that doesn't out of stubbornness are considered bad, arrogant and disrespectful to their parents and that in return make suitors avoid them, some out of fear have to quit because they feel they've brought shame to the family.

 Also change they say is Constant and in the present time more women are beginning to pick interest in it due to some factors,
•Gender equality.
•Love of sports, they're gambling with friends on the team of athlete they support.
•Job opportunity in casinos
•Peer pressure from male friends.
•Rapid adaption of females in various sports activities, eg females soccer leagues and NBA teams.
 However you're right to say men have the upper hand when it comes to the world of gambling because majority of males are more exposed to sports, casinos activities whereas more females find it difficult to understand and read the game and would prefer other entertainment areas like movies, music which does not relate to or involve more of gambling.

[Betwrong]

It's a stereotypical way of seeing women that they are less educated and more inclined towards mysticism and stuff like that. For the last hundred years, or so, women are getting the same education as men in many countries and they are no different than men in those places, and there are more and more of such places in the world. I believe soon the question of differences between Women and Men in Gambling will be absolutely irrelevant.

In this era, almost all countries around the world have the same civilization regarding women and men, even for education a woman is not far behind from men.
But sometimes status and culture differentiate between women and men.
For gambling itself there is no difference between the two, so assuming that men are superior is also not the right thing because there are not a few women out there who have become quite reliable professional gamblers.
I don't know why there are still questions like this which in my opinion are actually not quite right because they can be the start of a debate.

Yeah, with the civilization around the world most of it already have an equal rights. Both women and men can do things accordingly, but I agree also with your statement about religions and the country origins it's also affects those gamblers, as from some conservative places they still practicing that women can't be seen in places like this or they still have that discrimination when women has been a spot in the casinos.

You mean land-based casinos, but what about online gambling? It is believed that approximately 25% of people around the globe gamble online. That's almost 2 billion. True, today statistically more man than women are engaged in gambling, but the difference isn't very significant, and we shouldn't forget that in some places, due to cultural issues, women are less prone to admit that they gamble during surveys.

this is very much highlighted in this modern era, liberal adherents believe that gender equality is real and must be fought for but in some countries and cultures it is often considered that liberalism is wrong, it returns to their respective regions and i am a little bit not so supportive liberal understanding, even though gender equality is good, women must have different duties and rights from men, it returns to their respective families how to take care of their children and must be able to tell what is not allowed and what is allowed to be done by girls or boys.

Liberal is a term used in political, social, and economic contexts to describe thoughts or beliefs that emphasize individual freedom, human rights, and the limited role of government in regulating people's lives.

[Weawant]

I personally don't think that women that gamble hide it from others because generally, the women who gamble are not from such backward-thinking places, and if a woman gambles who lives somewhere where it is not considered good, then it might be the reason for them to hide their gambling activities.

So because their religion or society doesn't permit women gambling does that mean they're from a backward place. Imagine a family of gamblers that both father and mother are gambling how do you expect that family to function properly, some laws are their to guide us.

While we think we're are adults and capable of making decisions for ourselves, most of us are still immature and if we live in a free society we'll be living a useless lifestyle. There's no difference between a family of drug addict and a family of gambling addicts.

Atleast the woman is supposed to be the responsible one and I'm not trying to take anything away from her but she should be taking care of the home and making sure her children are feed and responsible. When both parents are gambling addicts that's a very big problem.

I halfway disagree with this.  I agree that gender equality is good and should be implemented, I also agree that both women and men have different duties but I highly disagree that women should have a different rights from men making men receiving more benefits.  They are both human and each one has their duty where other cannot perform.  Thus right should be equal between this two gender.

it returns to their respective families how to take care of their children and must be able to tell what is not allowed and what is allowed to be done by girls or boys.

Taking care of the family is the responsibility of both parents.  Though each maybe has a different function but their rights and responsibility are not inferior to each other.

In terms of social activities such as gambling, I don't think that we should make a huge deal if we see women gamble.  They are also human and nothing inferior to men so they should also enjoy the freedom and rights men are experiencing.

[shasan]

This type of family gambling may happen only for a few. But in the majority case, only the man is the gambler. You should know that in many countries still woman has no rights (not by law) to do a lot of things and gambling is one of them. So, a large number of women are away from gambling.

[knowngunman]

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.

The result is partially right to some extent. Women are very fragile in nature and can not withstand the pressure and tension associated with gambling hence, the lesser their population participating in gambling. Not only in gambling but in every bad habit that involves men and women, women receive the highest criticism for doing the same thing with their men counterpart. The society is designed to celebrate men's waywardness but condemn women.

I personally don't like seeing women gambling after my experience with one when her ticket was cut. She nearly runs mad.

A country like mine, where gambling is fully legalized the ratio of women still playing gambling in local physical is still at its minimal because of many traditional disgust that frown against this act but the intervention of online casino broke this barrier because even myself never knew women gamble a lot as I have seen several of my nephew using online gambling site to gamble although some women still gamble in the physical casino shop but they kinda of prefer gambling on online sites because of the public opinion about the feminine gender gambling.

Stereotyping societies based on their rules, huh? Is that how we roll? No society is backward for its rules, rather the misinterpretation of such rules often cause trouble. We're talking about gambling, which is notoriously known for wrecking lives, irrespective of the gender involved.

Its a far stretch to equate the restriction of a destructive habit to societal backwardness. Maybe they've got it figured out, y'know? What happens when both parents fall into the gamble hole? Its not just about the financial stability, but the emotional stability of the family is also at risk.

I hear you, though, when you talk about responsibility, but I beg to differ on the gender role part. Both parents should be responsible, equally. The whole "women should take care of the home" sounds pretty outdated to me. Everyone should play their part in a functional household.

Im trying out to make some search about on certain countries which does prohibit out women on playing gambling then i didnt able to find one which does simply means that it is really just that common kind of
perception on which on gender inequality in speaking about women on engaging on gambling.It is really that free for everyone and there's no such thing about gender for you to be able to play.
It is really just that community does really have that common approach when it comes to gender on which it isnt really that common nor even completely not allowed on letting women to play
on certain place on which it isnt really just that right.

Gambling is for fun and entertainment, it doesnt matter on what gender you would really be having and as long it would really be that having the money for you to play then you are
free on doing so no matter what would really be your gender. It is really just that common on having this kind of gender inequality.

The only difference between men and women when it comes to gambling is the quantity, you can barely find women gamblers anywhere in the world, I know there are, but they are not as many as men in gambling spaces and that is because men tend to like gambling and taking risks more than women, there is nothing about sex or anything but it's simply a matter of personal choices and preferences of different men and women but the nature of women is mainly against gambling.

If we talk about gambling styles, if I talk about my personal experience, I've mostly seen women playing slots more than any other gambling game, the reason for that might be because it's easy to play and has engaging graphics, etc. And one reason could also be that slot games usually give big multipliers.

Right, perhaps the only difference between male and female gamblers is a matter of numbers. at least, gambling is more dominated by men. However, I can't measure or analyze it for other countries. because, besides I have no data. Also, each country will have different customs depending on other factors and so on. but if you refer to psychology, it is clear that there are differences between men and women, especially regarding gambling.

men, tend to like things that are fun as well as challenging and one of them is gambling. women, usually more antipathy and always think more specifically about what they like. but in today's modern era, everyone doesn't need to visit a land casino if they have fun with it. it doesn't matter male or female, all of them can access online casino without being noticed.
In some Asian countries, women are often involved in gambling. some, become part of the culture for them.
well, we had a similar experience. for me, the phenomenon of women playing slot gambling is not something new. in fact, some people I know also like slot-type games. the reason, as you said. simply put, slot games are easier to play.

Well, in the area where I live, you see very few traditional casinos, the reason is that the government banned these sites for 20 years, but then once everything was released again, men and women do see more participation from men than women, that's obvious, but as for women, only those who accompany their husbands, very few women enter the casinos alone, but I have seen that men enter regardless of their economic level, instead, single women enter n they are of very good economy, that is what I have noticed, but you see most of the only men who play more, I think it is because there is less fear of Risk.

We as men tend to take more risks than women, and not only in casinos, I think that in everything, sometimes we are not afraid of many things and I think that when we do not have a family, that is, women + children, the risk is higher, then in women it is not like that, women are or tend to be much more conservative, if they take risks, but I think they think much more before making any move, before us men who are naturally more daring to do certain activities .

Women sometimes have more daring to do activities that sometimes we do not dare, they have a certain level of Elegance to show them that we do not look good if we do them, or consequently they are stronger than us, for example, the fact of being able to have a baby for 9 months is a pain that we men could not bear, therefore we must also value them a lot and highlight their tastes and their ways of playing in casinos.

[Sanitough]

It is really just that common on having this kind of gender inequality.

In the present world, the trend is indeed towards online gambling. With the emergence of crypto gambling, individuals can hide their identities as many gambling sites allow anyone to participate, providing a level of anonymity. This means that people of various demographics, including men, women, and even minors, can engage in gambling with a sense of equality.

You can really hide who you are, a man or a woman.  But we are talking about the fact that for 10 men playing in online casinos, there will probably be only 1 woman playing sitting at the computer. 
There are many reasons for this.  And ordinary household chores related to the fact that being at home a woman simply does not have so much free time to play quietly due to the fact that she is constantly busy with some ordinary household chores.  Or is engaged in education or service related to her children.  And the man worked at his main job and came home and plays because he is not busy with such household chores. 
This way of life for men and women takes place in the vast majority of countries and communities on Earth. 
And this is precisely the reason that women in general, on a global scale, even in online games, participate much less than men.

[SirLancelot]

I never thought there would be such deep calculations behind the gambling based on genders. I’m not sure what’s the final outcome on this but it seems it’s unpredictable and there are just endless streams of logics to it. Gambling is something we play for fun and earn. I don’t think it is gonna be fruitful discussion ever. It’s not about the gender and who plays why. It’s all about we play it. Females are also proceeding to new heights when it comes playing anything that male used to do before. Whether it’s sports, whether it’s gambling there is no big difference these days. Everything is played equally. I think.

Well, not really equally but it's true that there is nothing in today's world that men do and women don't, be it gambling or anything else. Women these days say that they are not less than men and they want to be treated equally in every aspect, though we all know that in most sports or in a lot of fields the majority that are enrolled are males, females might do that as well but not in a quantity that equals to men doing that specific thing as well.

So if we talk about gambling, though it's not gender specific or there isn't anything that only men can do and women can't in gambling, men tend to gamble more than women and it can be easily proven if there are surveys conducted in places or cities where gambling is very much popular.

That's the advantage of online gambling and using crypto as currency to gamble. You can play anonymously as long as you're playing below the specific amount of casino to require their customers to abide on their identity verification (kyc).

Thus, regardless of your gender, it's not a problem when playing online. Because anyone can gamble without the need to disclose who you are especially if you value your privacy.
