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

[TimeTeller]

This topic can have various assumptions and points of view. The best answer and deeper understanding of womens opinions on gambling it would be better to question female users on Bitcointalk. In my personal view I have known many women that doesn’t accept losing or being wrong even when they may not be. Gambling on long term will always make you lose so we may not witness as many females engaging in online gambling or creating YouTube channels dedicated to gambling and live game streaming like we see many gamblers in YouTube are males.

On the other hand males like ourselves we tend to take more risks compared to women. This different mentality we have and how we think leading us to gamble more often, and unfortunately many men can become easily addicted to gambling as a result.

Because the fact is, a lot of women are also mothers. So as much as possible, they don't want to lose their hard-earned money.
Instead of gambling, they will choose to buy other basic needs at home and not take the risk.
For them, once they lost a good chunk of money, it means, they can't buy something for the table or their kids.
Hence, that's a lot to take if she is a responsible mother. This is why a lot of them don't spend long time in gambling.

A housewife will count her money for daily needs and put the money to good use. They will keep the money without using it for anything to meet their family needs. We don't know if women often gamble, but that is the picture of a housewife who cares about her family. She would not use the money her husband gave her for unnecessary things like gambling because she was too afraid to lose a lot of money for no good.

While men tend not to think like that because they feel he is the one who makes money and is allowed to use the money for what he wants. In addition, men want to make more money quickly, so many think gambling can make money fast. And for the number of women who gamble, we will never know, let alone there are crypto casinos that can easily hide someone's identity.

The main difference is that they gamble less, or at least traditionally have done so. I would like to have reliable data on gender differences in online gambling, what happens is that they are not reliable on sites where there is no full KYC, they may ask you for your gender when you register but that does not imply that you are going to tell the truth.

I would bet that women gamble more online when doing so in privacy, although I think the percentage will still be significantly lower than men.

[peter0425]

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.

you almost have similar topic from this one its just you have quoted a google translate here but the point is the same women less gambler/addicted than man

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5456589.0

but it is not just because the looks of women gambler are bad but it is because of girl nature not to get involved in gambling as they are not risk taker by many chance .

Generally  I believe  women wouldn't want to be seen gambling openly because of the stigma that might be attached to it.
No one likes to loss not even the men or the women but I think the men can easily cover their shame while it might be difficult  for women to do the same if been mocked.
Gambling  has now been made easier through online gambling where one doesn't necessarily need to go to any physical casino but rather so all his or her bet privately even from her phone and I believe this will be at the  favour of woman.
I really don't think there is any major difference  between the men and women in times of gambling  but the major difference  is the stigma attached to women gambling.

Personally I really like slots and to be honest it felt like I enjoyed it (a lot different when I bet sports) so I slightly support the research posted by the OP. but in many countries, I'm 100% sure that people's stigma against women who are seen gambling is a bad woman, so it's better for now that women only play in online casinos rather than offline casinos, take care of your family's self-esteem even those who are married because your family will definitely be against your gambling habits, they will definitely feel embarrassed if other people find out.

[Apocollapse]

It's weird how the women view poker as a calculating odds game, when only a player with high skill can win it.

Women always view gambling is bad because there are a lot bad news related with gambling and they can't see the fun behind gambling. They only see gambling is only a way to lose, nothing else.

Men either view gambling is good for fun or making money, if men gamble for fun, they will not have any problem because they know when to start and when to stop.

I strongly agree on this. I might not have meet girls who play slot games but I know how most female friends react to loses when the play indoor games with me or my friends. The get so ashamed to lose sometimes the beg the male players to allow them win so they can brag with it. I think it will be the same reason females prefer slot games since it free from shame and guilt, most females in my neighbourhood who gamble are always shy of visiting the gambling house too, most of the times the prefer to be accompanied to help reduce the shyness, I don't know if this too will be attributed to the fear of losing or the don't want to be seen as a gambler.

Indeed, some cultures view women' engagement in gambling differently. But isnt it stereotypical to insinuate that women cant withstand loss or mockery as well as men? Everyone despises losing, but suggesting women struggle more is misguided. Women, like men, can endure defeat with equal dignity Online gambling has indeed neutralized the field, disregarding gender. But isnt it bizarre that we need anonymity to achieve gender-neutrality in gambling? It exposes our failure to debunk societal biases, rather than gender differences.

Gambling goes beyond the act - its about assessing risk, making choices, and dealing with consequences. Isnt it high time we dissolve these stereotypes and affirm women' equal ability to partake in and relish such activities?

[Outhue]

This discussion is not that necessary because we all know that men are up in numbers when it comes to taking risk in a certain job or other, gambling is very risky and men are made to be tougher, when they lose they smile and move on, many women can't withstand what men are facing, not even for a day, they might end up in an Asylum or something.

Only smart women will understand that no matter the measurement strategy between men and women, the difference is night and day, the world became what it is today because of men, they did all the hardest work, oil fields, gold mines, train tracks, and many many more.

I have seen limited numbers of females gambling online, they hardly do, and once they lose they aren't coming back, the reason why some men are addicted to gambling is because of pressure in society, they don't want to be looked down on like worthless pieces of trash.

[piebeyb]

The main difference is that they gamble less, or at least traditionally have done so.

Yes, almost all casinos ask for your gender, which may also interfere with privacy, but the rules must be obeyed. After all, we can gamble at licensed casinos, so we must understand and comply with their rules. If gamblers have objections, don't gamble at online casinos, just play on platforms. decentralized gambling, after all it's rare that I find female gamblers who become addicts never even see the news anywhere about it.

We often see cases of men committing suicide because they have a lot of debt and also losing to gambling, a man stealing for gambling and other cases. I have never found that women have cases because of gambling. women are not that many in online casinos let alone in land based casinos and we never really come across that many women gamble.

I highly agree with dissolving the stereotyping of women.  Women like men have the same weakness when it comes to gambling.  I don't know why people keep on differentiating the two when the impact of gambling to both gender is the same and that is the uncontrollable urge to gamble, the gambling addiction.

Women like men are also susceptible to gambling addiction, and they are also undergoing the same process when they engage in gambling.  Way back in ancient times we can say that women are not allowed to partake to gambling openly reason why most of the studies at that time is about men being addicted to gambling.  But nowadays, men and women have the same exposure to gambling and we have seen how men and women are alike in their approach to gambling activity.  Aside from that, they are also using the same method to negate the effect of gambling addiction which is moderating of their activity.  

So in conclusion, men and women, being human have the same impulse towards gambling activity, both of these gender have different preferences, styles of games ang gambling approaches that can be seen in both genders.  So women in terms of gambling have no difference with men in both strategy, preference, approach, and addiction.

[pawanjain]

To be honest, I have never seen a women gambling in the real world but yes I have seen them on online casinos.
It's hard to judge their behavior online but I guess there shouldn't be much difference between men and women in gambling.
But it's obvious that men are a lot more than women in gambling and most of the men won't like women who gambles.
Women are mostly seen as the one who runs the house and men won't want them to gamble away the money they kept to run the house.

it's different in my country, gambling is legal and we here see a lot of housewives who are heavy gamblers and they don't even take care of their children properly and that's what makes me quite hate women gamblers ^{(because usually they forget their responsibilities in their family)}

indeed gambling is open to all genders, but men and women have different responsibilities and roles in social life and also in the family, i'm not really sure about the research from the article, so i don't really want think hard about it.

Exactly what I am saying. If women starts gambling and get addicted to it then the chances are high that they would end up using money meant for family responsibilities.
Taking care of children is one of them and managing the expenses is another, both of which requires the women to pay more attention into.
But gambling takes it away and hence people portray as them as bad people. It's a harsh reality but that's what the truth is.

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.

I cannot attest to the credibility of this research but I can say that I agree with them whether right or wrong. Women do not gamble much. In my country, there are not many casino's but many sports betting places. You barely find women in these places because of how inappropriate it is to find women in this kind of places. Women gamble more secretly than openly, because of how unacceptable many society has made this character to be. In my country, Men gamble more than women.

We cannot expect woman to be found in some specific gambling settings or environment because it's not that good enough for their kind of personality, men have been found in many ways being rugged in adaptation to many environmental conditions unlike women, this does not limit to he physical gambling alone, the online casino gambling also have this same experience with low number of women participation in gambling.

Well, I don't think this will happen with women, because as you said, the facts about gambling are not in their personality. But to be honest I have a boyfriend who likes gambling, he is very addicted. Initially, I was very surprised when I found out that my friend (female) was in debt and almost every day many people came to her house to collect debts. And when I investigated by asking him a few questions, it turned out that he found out about this gambling through an advertisement on the app over the phone. After I learned this, I am now starting to realize that in fact it cannot be denied that men or women or anyone, even minors, are very likely to know about gambling, because now gambling has started to become widespread in the general public and the reason is because the circulation of online gambling systems, namely slots on several social media.

[Slow death]

women focus a lot on living competing with their friends, for women to go somewhere popular and take a picture and post it on the social network is much better than going to the casino and losing money, because of this thought the number of women who are losing money in casinos is a very small number and being a small number ends up creating a bad image for that small number of women who are in the casino because there are a large number of men in the casino, so in a couple’s house, the husband is unlikely to go accept that the woman goes alone to play at the casino

even if the woman says that she is going to go out with her friends to the casino, the husband will not like it because there will be a lot of men in the casino and everyone knows that the men in the casino are looking for money, sex and alcohol. even rich guys when they go to physical casinos they want to win money, they want to consume alcohol and sex to feel powerful. right here on the forum there was a guy who posted about his adventures in the physical casino and reported that he won or lost, consumed alcohol and had sex with many women in one night

I somehow disagree with the statements that were discussed.

Just to reiterate, everyone hates to see them lose in a gambling match. Regardless of the gender, whenever a person loses money, the initial reaction is they feel guilty about their decisions. Obviously, the first step that they would do is to try to recover their losses by betting once again.

The feeling of disbelief and guilty are gender-neutral reactions that is normal for any person who delves into this kind of activity. Regardless of the gender, everyone hates to lose. Though if there is one thing that I do agree, it is that women tend to control their emotions better compared to men which results to the former having more chances of success in dealing with addiction.

It does makes sense. Maybe it is correct, maybe it is not.
But personally, what researches had found out is correct. I'm supporting it as I also observed myself those supporting details they mentioned with regards to the result of their study.

On the other hand, your idea seems to be outdated. Can you list countries that that portrays the perspective you mentioned?

[famososMuertos]

This has been discussed several times; both on this gambling board and on the other society board, by the way, even for cultural reasons, many of the posters on this forum see it as a dishonor for women to bet, starting with that cultural variable, the study should be determined in that sense. (e.g.)

It is not the same to measure that target in the United States as a Middle Eastern country, so it is not about gender, that is actually a myth, women have the same impulse to gamble as men.

The foregoing is decisive to know precise data between these differences "if there are any" because knowledge is essential, regardless of gender, since a man does not make a correct bet for being a man, he does it because he has experience and knowledge, and that is vital. regardless of gender.
