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

[Mr.suevie]

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 telme 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??

Male people can deal with all issues very easily and men are more risk taking so men are seen to be more involved in other critical matters including gambling than women. Gambling is very risky thing and very addictive thing which most women can not accept and don't like gambling but for men gambling is a pleasure thing and men enjoy gambling more so men are seen to gamble more than women. Not only gambling but other risky things women don't like too

Well am not too sure about that because  over here in my place it's quite difficult to differentiate between the male stuffs and the female stuffs. It's like competition and this popular speech just keeps replaying in your head which is what a man can do a woman can do better. That's why over here it's not strange to see a female gender in a casino or somewhere online placing a bet or actually watching a serious football match.

yes i can say  its more of a guy thing. one of the reasons why i think its so is because of the financially responsibilities that the men do shoulder and also that men always want to earn more so its pretty easy as a guy to get involved and also if you have friends that are into it then it will be more easier. but i think things are changing and have seen some ladies go into gambling although the percentage is still kind of low but maybe in some years to come we will have a good population of them especially for those who wants to do it for fun.

Following that logic, men should be less prone to gambling, since they are more focused on financial responsabilities and can't give themselves the luxury of spending money with gambling, which doesn't guarantee any financial returns in counterpart... It seems men are into gambling for another reasons: maybe because they have a higher necessity for thrill than women and to escape from the stress of daily life which involves those responsabilities you mentioned above. Gambling for men is a moment they can finally stop caring about their burdens and having an ephemeral pleasure moment.

A man should not gamble because of financial responsibilities but will work as hard as possible to provide for his family. If he only gambles hoping to make money from gambling, that is a big mistake because gambling is not a place to make money. Men should know that and not take the risk of using their money to make money from gambling.

Gambling is not just for men because there is gender equality everywhere. Moreover, we see many women do things that men do, thus proving that women can gamble if they want. Maybe it is true that not as many women are involved in gambling as men, so they say gambling belongs to men.

But with the increasing popularity of online casinos, it is making it easier for women to gamble. They can gamble wherever they want and even gamble from their room while resting. We still don't know how many women gamble, especially in online casinos.

To be honest with you, what you said can only be true for the men who understand and indeed see gambling as a means of entertainment rather than a means to make money; because for all i know and care, most or should i say majority of those(men) who are into gambling are into it as a means of making some extra money to cater for the financial responsibilities they shoulder.

Think of it this way, imagine that gambling was designed in a way that we only put money in, but don't have any opportunity of getting any money out; that is; gambling is completely made to be a paid means of having fun with zero possibilities of winning cash in return. How many of us, as men, do you think can afford the luxury of gambling?.
very few is if you ask me.

Guys have more affinity for gambling so it may be regarded as guys thing, but at the end of it all, not all those that are gambling are guys alone, it's all compromise a combination and there's nothing we can do about it, we often believe that men also have more higher ability to raise financial responsibilities unlike the way it was being common with women to be dependents on this, just as you have also given, women have a very low interest on gambling activities and this is common everywhere when it's all about gambling.

[Weawant]

Gambling I don't think is a gender based thing, anybody can venture into gambling be it male or female, it doesn't matter and it aswell doesn't affect your chances of winning or losses as both genders can win or loose at same time, on casino sites they some times ask for gender and this doesn't cause any form of preference for any gender.

There are ladies I have seen who are successful in gambling so are guys too but the only problem is they some level of stereotyping that may come with the female gender gambling as some persons may want to see her as not been responsible enough but they if she can control herself enough to not get to the point of addiction they will cause her to involve in unhealthy practice to raise funds to gamble.

There are female who are good sport analyst and understand the game so we'll such person could try their hands on gambling and be entertained while making some good money for them selves from gambling, summarily my point is that gambling is not a gender based thing as anybody or any gender can gamble and be successful at it while staying entertained.

[Ever-young]

I think we can see it in a way that the men are much more lovers of spot than women, and then tend to bet on there passion, it’s just common among both gender sport betting is more common among men because they are the ones who do a lot of this without any reason to call it evil.

but most ladies even when they are to go into it don’t usually come out to the open with their betting decisions maybe this is as a result of them not wanting any negative response from people around them, which makes them even when they get involve on it they don’t bring it to the public.
 
Most girls also seems to look for other means of making money than relaying on something that might not work at the end of the day, if we are to use economic crisis as an excuse to the high gambling rate rise, ladies chose to do things they are sure of the outcome at the end of the day.

I see your reason @ uneng especially if we are to weigh the winning rates of those men who gamble and we see the number is actually small and that could mean that the argument of taking care of the family or family financial responsibility is really not strong. Even where some men feel they are gambling to meet up with the financial needs of their homes, how far have they been successful in winning yet their family is still surviving. The valid point is while gambling, it also affords the man the opportunity to ease off from the distractions and challenge in the home especially when it is offline, the man use the opportunity to hangout and get some fresh air from the environment.

Couldn’t agree more. Since men are more exposed in financial responsibilities to provide for their family, the urge to grow and increase their income is high that’s why they are more open to investments, even in gambling that can bring decent amount profits if you are smart enough to play the game. They take more risks than women, and love to explore new things that will bring additional profits on them. And gambling could be the perfect example of it. Unfortunately, when they become more focused on accumulating profits rather than just enjoying the game, that’s when gambling addiction hits them.

It's an interesting observation. Historically, gambling has been linked to masculinity and risk-taking, influencing more men to engage. So I guess social expectations and psychological differences may also play a role. However, I would say that addiction affects everyone, especially in tough economic times. It is probably feeling like a shortcut and people hope for quick to be made by flipping a coin. And as you said when making money takes the place of what was meant to be enjoyment first, it is going to be critical especially when the making money part of that idea goes South.

[zuzie]

I've heard that gambling is a man's business, but in fact nowadays many women like to gamble, some even become addicted to it like men in general. Yes, perhaps for different reasons, men gamble for fun and earn money for their family's needs, while women gamble perhaps just for fun. In fact, both of them will experience the same thing, win or lose, and this is just my opinion.

I have indeed noticed that when I gambled at regular casinos back in the day there were more men than women, however it is difficult to draw any conclusions out of this, as we know gambling is a hobby which requires money, and even in developed countries there are still preconceived ideas and discrimination against women.

So if they have problems getting hired and they are being paid less for their time then this means they have less spare money, and this means lesser opportunities to enjoy a hobby like gambling, plus while the stigma against gambling is decreasing I think the stigma is still strong when it comes to women, so many women may hide their gambling activities out of fear of being negatively judged.

This could be one of the reasons because when a man has an obligation to always fulfill his family's needs, he can also make the mistake by doing gambling because he wants to increase his income because winning money at gambling means there is also a big chance of losing it.
Also because men have more opportunities to work and have money, they also have the opportunity to spend it on gambling, initially just for fun because they can interact with friends but gradually their intentions can change.
Maybe now men and women have equal shares in gambling, but women do it in secret and are reluctant to admit it in public because of social problems, especially when doing it at an online casino, it will be easy to do it in secret.

Therefore, a man who has full responsibility for his family must be really careful when managing their finances otherwise their financial condition will get worse.
A man who plays gambling actually has only one goal, namely to increase their income apart from the work they are doing now. There is no harm in having thoughts like that because we don't know what luck we will take today and maybe by gambling they can think they can take luck from here, but I would suggest not to get too hopeful if gambling can be used as additional income, in fact it is not that easy, making gambling as additional income is not a solution but will create new problems, but if gambling is only done occasionally with small amounts and done with the aim of entertaining I don't think it's a problem to get away from work fatigue.

I agree with your opinion that gambling is a hobby that requires money and can be done by women and men, from poor to rich, and gamblers do not regularly play.
It may be that the income received by women is not comparable to the income earned by men, but not only that, women also think that sometimes they want to earn a lot of money, so they even gamble because they think gambling will make them luckier. in getting money rather than money. that they produce every day. Yes, even in a secret way so that other people don't know, because most people say, basically gambling is only for men, women are not allowed to gamble.

[Sanitough]

You know, it seems like guys are more prone to getting hooked on gambling compared to women. It's like our pride gets in the way, and we just can't quit easily. We hate accepting losses, and we're always up for experimenting, trying to find that secret to winning. We're just so darn optimistic.

Some guys don't even know when to stop. They'll keep going until they've lost everything. It's like a never-ending battle, even though the chances of winning are slim. And good luck trying to tell someone they're addicted when you can clearly see they're already acting that way. They'll never admit it; it's like a challenge they can't resist.

Self-esteem is what makes many people return to gambling because they cannot accept their defeat, especially when they gather with their friends and share their experiences of losing when gambling. Maybe some friends will mock him because his defeat makes that person unable to accept it and says he will prove that he can win. And finally, he returned to gambling to win and recover from his previous losses so he could brag about it in front of his friends.

And maybe it is true that gambling is a man's game because many men play it. Meanwhile, we don't know how many women gamble so we can only guess.

[Blowon]

I don't know exactly why but it is a fact. I very rarely see women gambling but when they are gamblers they are usually very good. but the most reasonable reason behind this is that women hate gambling, especially if they are married, because in their point of view it is a game that costs a lot of money.

Yeah, it seems like their approach was more emotional than mental. If they had taken the time to evaluate why they lost a certain game, they could have made the right adjustments for the next one and maybe come out on top. But when they're not thinking it through, well, we can pretty much expect the same results each time.
