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

[dothebeats]

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.

I agree, specially to the single mothers out there who will have to think about the family finances first. Moreover, women in general have a lot more things to buy and put their money to in comparison to men. I also think it has to do with a mindset that some women have which is -- gambling will be too much of risk for their hard earned money.

It is not that there are discrimination against women...
Just imagine seeing a woman that is so much indepted into gambling, this will server as a bad omen for the children when they keep seeing there mother in the casino trying to make some bets and earn some winnings when she's supposed to be responsible for the children care.

This is exactly what descrimination is. You need to stop thinking of women as weak creatures, this is not true.
You took mother's as an example, but what about fathers? Aren't they supposed to be responsible too? A degenerate gambler is a degenerate gambler be it a man or a woman. There is no difference between women and men and they need to be treated equally.

yet they are also notorious overspenders in many cases. Is not like a general rule or annything, most people including women are careful with money, but sometimes they just feel like going shopping just to get distracted or meet a friend to go around to shops and talk about insubstantial stuff to relax and spend some money as a way of socialising.

Not all women have that mindset at all.

[Fredomago]

Gander discrimination in gambling is becoming a thing of the past now and just like I said earlier, online casinos have helped in eliminating that discrimination for a long now, and at that, we have noticed an increase in female active gamblers lately but their statistic is not up to the men fork.

And just like the other user said, this discrimination also varies from place to place, in the unites state, no one care if a woman is seen gambling in a casino, but in some countries in the middle east, that could be a punishable offense for a woman to gamble openly.

Which each affecting the opinions of people from different location, just like what we all notice that in a well-established places they don't care about it but in a conservative places especially those 3rd world country who still practicing religious beliefs, most of them still condemn woman to participate or to practice gambling.

Gender discriminations still depends on how the society looks on it and what kind of people are speaking about it.

[blockman]

That's hard to see it being changed. There's still this masculinity figure from men and that belief is okay to do such things as gambling. And as for the women, gambling isn't really for them.

That's true because it can't be gone too quickly and yet those people that prefer to discriminate based on the belief that they've grown will remain on them. Despite the world's changing in terms of these feminists and masculinity beliefs, we can't remove those people that choose to be intact with such belief.

I also noticed that most of the people I've found working online in a work-from-home setting are usually women because they tend to have work at home and at the same time do their duties as a wife and a mom, which means they are still helping their husband earn money and not just what we think of them. So also, playing gambling online is really possible these days, and it is really an advantage for them as they can access it without needing to attend the actual casino

I even have a few female friends who are working from home. They say they work from home to help their husband earn money, and as long as it doesn't interfere with their household chores, it's not a problem, and on average, they can have extra income from working from home. And those who work from home are very good at managing their expenses, and when I asked them about gambling, they said they had never gambled because they and their husbands had committed never to gamble. After all, it could harm their lives. And I respect their decision. But perhaps other female friends don't want to admit that they also sometimes play gambling in their spare time but still within reasonable limits.

Most of the gambler in my region are all women because my country have no restriction to gambling and our national football and other sport team are all made of female member and our male team are really under performing and this has given women the boldness to engage in sports bets and other gambling games without anything to worry about.

There are also lots of female gamblers in our area. Most of them are silent gamblers since we all know the judgement that they may experience once people would know that they're into gambling. As for me, women is better at focusing when it comes to remote jobs as well as gambling. They even have a higher self control when it comes to spending since they are skilled when it comes to budgeting.
There might be a fewer number of female gamblers compared to men simply because most women nowadays are too busy with lots of things such as taking care of their kids, chores and a lot more while some of them are afraid to take the risks since they know how gambling could ruin their lives and their families. I must say that women have a higher sense of responsibility than men that's why they aren't too much into gambling.

to be honest gambling activity is an activity that many people hide for several reasons, moreover there are social laws that claim that women who gamble are not fit to be housewives. the woman you told about did something good because she didn't gamble and respected her husband not to gamble, but maybe it's different for women out there, many of them gamble alone without their partners knowing or they gamble with their partners (each couple has a different way of maintaining their family relationship).

Many societies and regions of the world won't accept the women and female class of people taking part in gambling. They won't expect women to be a gambler and they think this gambling and betting is only for men. There we see that globally men are more involved in gambling as compared to women.

Online gambling has opened more doors for women to enter in the gambling world without getting noticed, but I still think the numbers for women in gambling are far less as compared to the numbers for men's in gambling.

I cant really see things despite those are just personal impressions whenever we do see women who do wander around on this places which is actually this do pertains on local gambling physical places but not that something  you could really be able to see on online place considering that everyone is really that not known when it comes to gender. Honestly, gambling is for everyone it is really just that
the community does always have that kind of impression that girls are just good on kitchen and should really be at home and not really engaging into something on which men does.
This had been the common thing that we do know or could really be able to have on this society which is really that wrong.

Women could do on what men can do and there's no limitation to that, we do have the same intellect but its really that unusual for women to engage on gambling
knowing that they do really hate on losing money in the first place.

If that seems very unfair to me, women are people too, they have rights, I don't understand why some countries are like this, more than all Arab countries because of their same culture they are the ones that are like this, I thank God that I was not born there, otherwise I would have run from those countries where they have women as servants and only to be locked up in a house while the man has more than 5 women and all of them have the right to do things as they want l women don't, then women play like men and they should always have the right to play in a casino , it is what should always be done , when a woman wants she can Always.

Despite the world's changing in terms of these feminists and masculinity beliefs, we can't remove those people that choose to be intact with such belief.

And yet, it's their opinions and belief that they wanted to practice, even there are many places as well who already encourage the kind of fairness but still in a culture insight coming from people who continue to practice the old style of living, this discrimination will remain and will stay as long as they are still alive.

Just the same, with those open-minded there's nothing wrong to have an equal treatment and allow women to practice their rights
to enjoy and be entertained or to whatever extent that they choose to gamble.

A sad truth that we'll never be able to remove but we can start with ourselves and be the kindest person that we can ever be. Since it's gambling, there's no bias on it and everyone is able to do that. While those people that can't change themselves, I believe that someday they'll change for the better.

Just the same, with those open-minded there's nothing wrong to have an equal treatment and allow women to practice their rights

That's a practice that we've grown up with. If we're treating people equally, there are others that don't have the same attitude and treatment as us. That's hard to change and that's why even if you'll be the kindest person in the casino and treats everyone fairly. You don't expect the same thing comes back to you.

Wow, that was something I didn't expect because so many women gamble in your area. It sure would be interesting to gamble between men and women. And when a lot of women win while the men lose, it's sure to annoy the men because they lose to the women

But gambling is legal in your area, so many women and men can gamble freely. But other people from other countries may not get freedom like in your country.

It still happens in some countries where if women gamble, it will give a bad image to the woman. They would rather not gamble in public, and with the presence of online casinos, they can gamble freely because they can hide it from others. But if the woman is married, she should not gamble anymore, and if she wants to gamble, her husband must know so that there will be no fights between them.

I come from the country of Indonesia, here is the largest Muslim country in the world (in our country gambling is prohibited but here the betting market is very big), when a female gambler is detected, the general public will judge the woman as someone who is not responsible for her family and she will definitely be ostracized, you cannot equate social views on women in every country, patriarchy is still very strong and that is something that cannot be eliminated (that women should not gamble).

A religion that considers gambling a sin does it for both men and women, take Islam as an example. In Islam, a man or a woman who gambles is a sinner, and there is nothing one needs to do in that case, it is just them who needs to stop doing it and repent their actions and ask for forgiveness from their creator. And, I believe any religion that has the same rule would have it for both men and women and not specifically for women.

If we talk about the general world where people don't really care about a religion or where their religion allows gambling for both men and women, women tend to gamble but not as much as men because it's not in their nature to waste money on such things, they don't get too greedy too easily.

If we do speak about some religion rules then not all would really be prohibiting on doing gambling but it would really be having that significant warning about on dealing with it but if its really that prohibited then of

course it would really be no exemption when it comes whether you would really be a girl or boy because this has nothing to do with gender in the first place. Anyone could really be blamed out or would be committing out such mistake if ever they would really be tending on engaging on something which isnt really not allowed and lets just respect on what they had but in overall and not talking about religions or whatsoever then
doing gambling is never been bad, its for entertainment and you are the ones will really be making up decisions on how you should gonna spend up your money.

Women is equal to men and it is really just not that right on trying out to underestimate or looking down about women just like on what the community is really seeing into.This isnt those old
times or years or generation anymore about having that kind of down impression towards women.

I think the issue of women in gambling being considered as not being responsible and ostracized by the general public is something that is common in most countries of the world, Not just in Indonesia, or the fact that its Muslim country.
Nigeria is mixed with Muslim and Christianity, but the country is majorly a Christian filled country, and here, women who are discovered to be into gambling are considered highly irresponsible as well, in-fact, such a woman will hardly find a man to marry her except the man does  not know that she gambles...
And some times, I am left asking myself, if men are doing it and no body see it as a crime, why does it become crime when its a woman doing it?, i mean gambling..
