It's safe to say - gambling is a guy thing.

[Weawant]

Hey y'all...Seriously, I've been having this running through my mind.. maybe it's been discussed but this is on a diverse objective.
Why is it that we tend to have alot of men inclined and addicted to gambling than women? Is there any mystery guiding that?
I mean, You ain't gonna tell me that everyone isn't roofed by this economic crises - both gender to speak of - so what's so special about men gambling?? Alot of cases has been reported several times too - and y'all end up realizing that MEN are usually involved in very many critical cases... What's that validating? That men are really taking the whole thing personal??

Men are natural breadwinner so they'll be taking more risk and looking for ways to bring money to their family and since job isn't surplus in the world, men are turning to gambling in trying to bring money to their family. This means men are the higher percentage of gamblers.

Gambling isn't only a men thing as anybody can gamble, both genders and other genders can gamble but men do it more that's just the difference. Some culture prevents women from participating in gambling in public but with the introduction of online casino, more women are gambling.

Online casino makes it difficult to know who has a higher percentage of gamblers as we mightn't know if the woman are taking the lead since there's no way to verify who is playing at the end of the computer and KYC can't give an accurate data since KYC images can be bought.

I don't think so because men's expenses are not that big, but they often use their money for other things that may not be needed. This is different from what women do regarding spending because maybe women already have a definite list of monthly expenses. But it depends on each person because their expenses will also vary. And it will be different if they are already married because they will prioritize the interests of their family rather than having fun. So maybe there will be more men who gamble than women.

That's absolutely true and if you look at the statistics on financial expenditure then women are clearly bigger than a man, maybe a lot of men do useless things for fun but that's nothing but having fun in the gambling industry.
Someone who is married must prioritize family needs and a man is the head of the family who is responsible for meeting the needs of his family so anything will be done but there are also many people who have lost their minds leaving their families just because have become a gambling addict.

[xSkylarx]

Can not reveal about this mystery because this is more to the majority of men than women, maybe because the demands of men are greater then spend more on gambling to win more, not infrequently a man can still rely on gambling as their income or can also be an additional income.

Often finding women gambling in online casinos I see that's how women's habits can be seen, but you can count how many women do that but men take this risky challenge more than women.

If a woman who is already a wife is more prohibited than all in high-risk actions, for example gambling, then it would be very natural if women are less in action in gambling.

And it will be different if they are already married because they will prioritize the interests of their family rather than having fun. So maybe there will be more men who gamble than women.

In other words, women are more disciplined compared to men, just like how they handle money. I am not saying all, but the majority of what I've known is that women are good at handling money, mostly for family or needs. Even right now, most of the people I've known say that their husbands money always goes to their wifes, and the staff starts to budget. Most women tend to make sure that their budget is enough and not want to take risks like gambling.

Let me come straight to the fact, Do you believe that women are financially successful? I mean 50/50, no right then it will explain why they can't afford to bet.

Even if we reach the stage of 50/50, I don't think women will be spending their money on bets because AFAIK they just lad up everything in their shopping which means they prioritize different things than man but still there is no restriction for women to gamble and since we hit the internet era then we don't even know women are not gambling!

Partly I agree with you, but as it seems to me women are more pragmatic in their outlook on life, because from birth they are programmed for the continuation of the family, keeping the hearth, and for this it is necessary to have means of subsistence, that is why most of them would rather have $100 in their wallet than risk them in gambling and it is quite a rational approach to money. Men, on the other hand, are more prone to both risks and rash actions, especially in a fit of excitement.

[Shinpako09]

No, it's not a male thing, although I agree that males outnumber women when it comes to gambling. Perhaps it has something to do with how people used to interpret gambling. The same is true for other activities such as contact sports. Also, because of the nature of men, we have always been involved in more risky domains. There are numerous papers or research on why this is the case; simply search for it on Google.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

What's that validating? That men are really taking the whole thing personal??

Well, yeah, things relating to this has been discussed several times on the forum, but still never tired of discussing this over and over again.
If i should start explaining this based on my understanding of the whole thing, i did spend the whole day typing, but to make it brief and short, i will say that this started from way back, it all based on believe of our fore fathers, women never got involved in gambling in the old days, gambling was meanly for men, and women were confined in their kitchen, making meals , bathing and taking care of the children, and keeping the house clean while men were outside gambling.

But in our world today, civilization is changing everything, it is of recent that women started getting involved in gambling, this is why there are still very few women that gambles and almost no addiction record on them, but men have been gambling from way back and today, we find many who are addicted.

Maybe it's nature for us men to venture on risky stuffs so gambling is likely one of the thing that we may get addicted to. I don't know what's special about men gambling but I guess we just want honor or something that they are involved on risky stuff.

[Lida93]

No I disagree, gambling is not a man thing only, both gender can gamble if they want to and there's no mystery about it..

Gone are those days society and cultural settings makes us believe that women participating in gambling makes them look irresponsible and shame to the family. Today we have lots of women with gambling experience than many guys out there.

And from what I observe, I haven't heard or seen a single female gambling addicts it we have a lot of male gambling addicts which means women are more self controlling and responsible as gamblers.

The point flew across your head buddy. OP is asking us if there's something about us males that makes us gamble on a more personal level than females, seeing as we take it competitively sometimes and most of the gambling addiction cases fall in the laps of males.

Am on course with OP, maybe you just not getting my own point, maybe you need to reread the thread's title again.

It's mostly taken that gambling is a guys thing and we can see a good number of guys in gambling than women, it's like 10 men to 1 woman in any gambling house you walk in, so it shouldn't be surprising that the high level of competition coming from guys, they are higher in number as gamblers.

A group of guys could be having a drink at a pub and later decide to hit a casino house, but the likelihood of women taking that decision is slim as they rather go to club , so I might agree with OP to an extent that gambling is mainly a guys thing than it is for women.

See you're talking about one thing and then saying another. You're literally talking about gender dynamics in gambling and how there's no disparity in your previous comment and now you're basically retracting it by saying that men dominates this space, completely against the previous post you made which doesn't even make sense cause OP's asking about what's the deal about men becoming more prone to gambling addiction than women. I gotta give props to your second post though cause now you've hit the spot and have given OP a comment that's in line with her post lol.

I've read the title and have read the post, no way I'm gonna go after you like that if I knew I was in the wrong.

Gone are those days society and cultural settings makes us believe that women participating in gambling makes them look irresponsible and shame to the family

Tell me, in what stretch of the imagination does this make sense when OP's asking for the reasons why men dominate the gambling space, including the demographic of people who are addicted to gambling?

You seem not to get it about the cultural perspective on how it affects the number of women participating in gambling and this is because our locations differs and what's obtained in my immediate environment with yours is not same and it's obvious from our comments about the OP topic.

I wouldn't want to stress much about my first comment cause it is something subjective, but in my objectiveness I think I have a clear understanding now of not just the OP's topic but your comment too @Casdinyard.

That's just the fact, there are quite a good number of women involve in gambling as well but in a minimal percentage as compared to men because of their fragility in nature. Gambling is something that has to do with taking risk and women have no tolerance for risking too much. The pain and endurance men can handle is incomparable to women counterpart when it comes to gambling. What women derive pleasure in is a mere petty things like movie, games and gossip if they're in group discussion rather than risking their hard earned money on gambling.

Are you seriously able to support your family from the results of gambling. Seriously bro.. Gambling is just about fun and a hobby for a man, and how is it possible for a man to support his family from the results of gambling because the results are not certain. Even though you have the ability to gamble, this still doesn't guarantee that you can earn money so you can provide for your family.

As a man and the backbone of the family, you must have a permanent job or business, so that you have a clear income to be able to support your family. And we need to manage the finances we have by separating money for family needs and money for gambling. Don't use money for your family's needs to play gambling, because remember, bro... if you lose, it's not only you who are miserable, but your children and wife will be miserable too.

That's absolutely true and if you look at the statistics on financial expenditure then women are clearly bigger than a man, maybe a lot of men do useless things for fun but that's nothing but having fun in the gambling industry.

Well… that's right bro, don't let us join in like this. playing gambling to the point of forgetting responsibility as head of the family. family is still the top priority.

Gambling is for everyone, regardless of gender, whether women or men, gambling is not a guy or a woman thing. But why do men gamble more in my opinion because the majority of men are more likely to take risks than women and most men need more entertainment to release their fatigue from their busy lives or problems. Most women think that gambling is not very important, and they tend to think that instead of spending their money on gambling it is better to use it to buy skincare or other more important things. Maybe that's what causes more men in gambling.

[len01]

-snip

If you look at other statistics like the number of people in prison, homeless people, successful people, etc. everywhere the largest percentage are men. It is obvious that men are more radical (due to testosterone?) and if they are fond of something, they go to the end. Gambling is another area where this theory works.

from some of the replies, your reply I really understand and this is the right answer. because it is obvious that men are more dominant in making money or it can be said that men have the responsibility to earn more money with any business.
on one because of destiny men have a mindset that often likes to take risks for the sake of success to get money but for women have a mindset that is very careful in spending their money. so that very many men are successful and the rest are only a few women who are successful with any business and this is as much gambling as you say.

I would like to add another reason: men are often the family's breadwinners. They need high-paying jobs. They will turn to gambling simply because gambling is like a job. They can make a lot of money quickly, and yes, they can accept the misfortunes of loss. Suppose a woman has to take care of all the money in the house. I think they will also see gambling as a place to make money. They will also be addicted to gambling like men.

Gambling will be an entertaining game for people with abundant financial resources, but sometimes also a job for those who want to earn quick money to cover living expenses in the family, but risky—very high loss.

In the history of gambling it's been noted the number of men is greater than that of women when it comes participation, right from time men have been more involved in it and there are many factors that has hindered the involment of men to gambling than women so it would be very okay to put into consideration that the number of men that suffer from gambling should be greater than that of men based of the difference in their population sizes, however gambling is not generally a men thing but for both genders just that men take it more seriously than women.
 Also when it comes to risk taking men are better risk takes and would always look for possible solutions to settle their financial needs since it is their duty to provide for both women and the  family at large, and if you do some findings you'll under that most women get the money used in gambling from men and it's even the men that takes their women to casinos and provide funds they use to gamble sometimes, i feel on of the reasons why men have a greater population than men is because when it comes to entertainment women have other better options they feel they could get entertained from like movies, music, or even gossip with fellow women lol.

Yes, that's right, indeed the comparison between live casinos and online casinos is very different, maybe in a live or land casino we all see that there are more male gamblers there, but that doesn't mean that women shouldn't play gambling, because basically women also have the right to play. gamble anywhere whenever he wants. especially now that there are online casinos where everyone can play.

Men and women now have almost equality in gambling in online and offline casinos or land casinos, because there is no longer gambling only for men because now women can play gambling even wherever they want, even though we have never met female gamblers. in land-based casinos and maybe they are more likely to gamble in online casinos using their mobile phones.

You are also right because every financial expenditure made by women is always based on what their families need, while what men do is often not what their families need. This makes many men gamble secretly so their wives don't find out because if they do, they will fight. A married man will prioritize the needs of his family and will do anything to ensure that his family's needs are met. And maybe this is why men play gambling to make money from gambling.

In other words, women are more disciplined compared to men, just like how they handle money. I am not saying all, but the majority of what I've known is that women are good at handling money, mostly for family or needs. Even right now, most of the people I've known say that their husbands money always goes to their wifes, and the staff starts to budget. Most women tend to make sure that their budget is enough and not want to take risks like gambling.

It is true that women are more disciplined than men in handling money. They already have a list of their expenses so they won't buy things their family doesn't need. And that's why women always try to fulfill all the money given to them every month to meet the needs of their families. So it is possible that gambling is an activity that is often used by men for entertainment while women do not gamble too often or even never gamble.

[inthelongrun]

For me, it has to do with the past wherein most women are staying at home to take care of the kids, do the cleaning of the house, cooking, and any other household-related chores. That tradition was practiced in nearly all parts of the world and even this is still observed in many countries. So men are the ones earning money so they are usually the ones having the luxury to spend it for entertainment which includes gambling.

In modern and open countries, there are already a lot of changes far from the early traditions. Inside a large mall here in our city, there is also a big bingo game place where I always observed that most players are mostly women.

[Jawhead999]

Not really, that's because majority of the gambler are men, so you think gambling is a guy thing. Similar like working in engineering sector where majority are full of men. Do cheating or having sex is a guy thing? it look like it's, but obviously not.

Majority of women prefer to spend their money to skincare, vacation or night club, not in gambling.

Sure, they’re are a lot of women who get addicted to gambling but I disagree with your point about a woman seeing gambling as a way to make money if they’re the breadwinner of the home.
There are a lot of women who work hard and manage their household finances without having to resort to gambling to make some money.

I think people who see gambling as a job in order to earn money and perhaps get rich enough to cover one’s living expenses are delusional. You don’t get a steady weekly or monthly paycheck from gambling. For that, one would have to get an actual job.

Well  it is not really a guy thing to gamble. It just happened that more men are engaging to gambling than women.
I've read one article entitled "Examining Gender Differences for Gambling Engagement and Gambling Problems Among Emerging Adults" which is a study of G. Wong and her Colleagues, year 2013. According to that study; findings have revealed that men are having higher level of risk-taking and lower level of impulsive coping than women  which creates tendencies of engaging into gambling activities. Men are also having higher social anxiety than women which is why men are having higher chances to be problematic with gambling. But I do think that it is still driven by initiative. For me, men are just straight forward and are just embracing the risk because it is a bit of a shortcut to something better. While women are just less into risk taking and are more seeking efficiency than with men.
