What is the drive that makes women go into gambling?

[romero121]

Women who grew up in a place where people gamble and, in a family, where the other members have no problem with gambling may end up becoming gamblers. A woman who is easily influenced and enters a serious relationship with a man who is gambler can start trying out gambling out of influence, same can happen when a woman has friends who gamble. We are not easily influenced as most men are, but we can still be influenced and even become serious addicts. Women are not supposed to be addicted to gambling.

You got a point, based on what I have said before many of the women in our place has a parent who gambles as well and sometimes their friend influences them. Without influencing them they will not play because they are afraid to be judge by other people but if there's someone who will influence them I am sure they will have the confidence to play without worrying with their image.

This happens and in some cases it used to be the winning of a person that drives them towards gambling. Here they never realise that gambling won't bring success to everyone. Just because a person next to us got lucky we shouldn't fall for it. We should learn and understand well about the consequences and then go for it. This is where most of the gamblers go wrong. Women won't get addicted, because they always try to stick to limits if things weren't favouring them.

I am not a woman but I see that women into gambling have similar behaviors to males. They enjoy having fun, that adrenaline pumping when they win money through it. When I ask they explain me it's relaxing feeling. I always feel like women are still more into winning and after *spending* money but males just like competition. That may be the biggest difference between us. I guess that behavior may be determined by different chemical events in our brains. Hard to be sure.

The behaviour of the woman will be not same as like the behaviour of the man.Because the man will ready to take risk their life,if they totally addicted to it.It also the same phenomenon to the boy who love the girl.The boy will take the risk,but the risk from the girl is like only from the fifty percentage of the woman.So if the gambling is suit for the woman,she will continue the game.But the woman mostly will not take risk in the game with the full investing from the life saving money.

Women are skeptical in taking risks, and most of them sees gambling as a men thing and since they dislike any high risk activities so gambling won't be attractive to the women and at that we may even have to hide some of our gambling activities from them, be it your spouses or mum or your sis since they can easily give you negative vibes about your gambling activities.


I dont blame them any ways, because even the male folks already know the high risk in gambling and how it outcome can ruin someone life if care is not taken, but because pf the fun that men drive from gambling sometimes they still take that risk regardless.

Excluding the winning if money in gambling there's also entertainment and fun in gambling and it's not for man alone. Women are also seeking for means to catch fun and be entertained that's why some of them get into gambling.

Unlike men for most women that are gambling the money making part in gamble is secondary to them once the entertainment is sure to be attained

And this is why we scarcely have women addicts to gambling even though some may argue this point that the number of men in gambling is higher than that of women that's why men's addiction to gambling is prevalence.

[darewaller]

I think that the reason why most women go gambling is that they feel bored of being at home all the time and want to find additional income for themselves, so they look for other entertainment to relieve their boredom. Moreover, nowadays gambling platforms are increasingly easy to access, with just a few dollars now they can make deposits and play various games directly from their devices.

They could be bored on doing the same thing over and over again but not bored in a way that they don't have anything to do because women are known to be assigned in the house chores and baby sitting. Women are still a human that needs entertainment and gambling can be a good source of it. They should only gamble properly because if not, only the bad things are the ones that they can experience.

So, we men as their partner should allow them. They don't need to leave their house anymore because like you said, there are now online gambling and we can easily access them using almost any device that has a capability to access the internet.

On average women tend to be more risk averse in gambling. It is not uncommon for women to behave like this because women are not always associated with earning money. We can easily get this idea by distinguishing between men and women on the casino gambling platform. Since women are less willing to take risks, they also have less desire to gain. However, online gambling may offer more advantages to women than physical casino gambling, so the number of women will increase slightly, but it is much less than men.

Socializing with other players might be the goal of gambling because by meeting other players, they can get to know each other and later, they can also make an appointment to meet again to gamble another day. Women will use many reasons why they are interested in gambling and may not want to reveal them to us. And that's okay because it's each woman's secret if they don't want to tell the truth. But with the development of the internet, women can gamble from their homes without going to the casino, which means they don't want to meet other people at the casino. They can just gamble from home and can do other activities while they only use gambling as a tool to get pleasure using money.

That is definitely a good idea. I mean a woman could have trouble in a casino filled with drunk man. Maybe some man could argue against it, I mean red pill mafia has grown way more than ever in history, so it is not going to end up with a lot of trouble, but if we are talking about a situation where we need to be realistic, if I was a woman I wouldn't want to be in a place filled with drunk men all around me.

There is absolutely no guarantee of safety in that situation, you just go with trust and hope nothing bad happens, or you could just gamble online and do not have to put yourself at that risk at all, there is 0% chance of anything going wrong there, well except you are going to lose your money either way lol.

If I look at it from my personal perspective. I saw that they were women who decided to enter the world of gambling because they were motivated by loneliness and curiosity. Because even though gambling is not their (women's) style and as we know, gambling is dominated by men, but this also does not rule out the possibility for women to join in gambling.
When someone starts to feel lonely, quite a few of them decide to do something reckless or do something new that they have never done in their life, including gambling. Another reason they (women) get involved in gambling is because women are curious about the activities carried out by men (gambling) because they see that they can be so happy when gambling.

There is basically nothing gender specific in this thing, both men and women are dragged into gambling for the same reasons, they are either looking for an escape from the outer world, from the stresses and sadness that have surrounded them, the loneliness that never goes away, or for some it's merely a source for entertainment when they have money and want to do something with it, they think of playing some gambling games and having some fun.

There is one other group of people that get into gambling only with the purpose of making money with the money that they already have. This is caused either by greed or due to wishes and desires that can't be fulfilled by a regular day job and the person might be thinking that they might win something significant from it.

Totally agree on this. I don't think any gender specific matter affects the gambling engagement activities of the people. I think what's stopping women from doing gambling is our  notion that they shouldn't be seen in any casinos. I think both men and women have the same reasons, it can be either for fun and entertainment or they wanted to generate income from it. Others, find gambling a social activity especially for those who works on offices and felt like they lack of any social interactions. They see it as an opportunity to meet new people as a form of releasing their stress from work. I have known lots of women and friends who engage gambling, for the reason that they wanted to build good relationship with the people around them. And most of them are into pokers and blackjack.

The reason why women gamble is precisely as you said. For example, if a woman's surroundings do not include healthy forms of entertainment, only gambling or soccer betting are available, then those will be her only options. The second reason is that some women have both time and money, but instead of investing in business, they choose a type that they think is entertaining and making money.
There are casinos where the percentage of female players is very high. From young to old. Once they start gambling, women are very susceptible to addiction. Once addicted, they are even crazier than men. and will do everything to get money into the casino.

When I saw your username, at first I was thinking it is bear but it was beerlover! 

I don't think Casino that are physical allow smoking and drinking, it's always in their rule not to play to disturb others, imagine if there is asthma patient come around to play and have fun only to be disturbed by the smoke and collapse, it is going to be a big blow on the casino because such people can die inhaling any inflammable or txic susbstance, this same goes to women because of the way society view them, they always comes first and will be protected at all cost.

In todays tech where everything can be done remotely, I think women will be at peace playing at the comfort of their home playing than coming out physically, it doesn't just save them from been profile as a gambler but security wise, it protect them danger. People may say that playing at home might not be fun but I prefer having my bet displayed on my screen instead of going out, I don't like going out to bet in the first place.

Well, if that's the case, it's best for women not to go too often to offline casinos and prefer to gamble at online casinos because they get a guarantee of security. This means they don't have to meet drunk men who lose at gambling and who can abuse women at will. And if I am a woman, I also don't want to be in such a situation and prefer not to visit offline casinos.

But I'm sure that in the bigger casinos, the casinos wouldn't tolerate men getting drunk and not being able to control themselves. The drunken men must have been told to leave the casino because they would disturb the other gamblers. Casinos will do something about people who want to cause riots on their business premises. So if the casino is comfortable, women will still want to visit it to gamble or relax while watching people gamble.

They do have smoking areas and liquors are allowed in casinos. Maybe limited but I'm sure they allow drinking inside a casino and also they have club bouncers with huge biceps. But in today's era, cameras are everywhere. Somehow people feel safe when there are cameras in every corner.

Men don't go inside a casino just to drink though but women I think bring friends with them while they play slot.
Women are very social and they mingle with boys in the casino. They are not very social only to other girls sexier and more attractive than them.

[Docnaster]

I think the major reason why most women engage in gambling is because of the kind of environment they happened to find themselves in. Money they said is not a gender based tool so when they see most men around them gamble and win at the end of the day, they'll want to get involved in that same thing the men are doing and getting financial returns.
Gambling does not have gender restrictions and in as much as more women feel okay in gambling, it's absolutely finefor them to get involved.

Gambling is not gender-peculiar, all genders have been seen gambling, and in some climes, you would see more women gambling than men. Only that you will find more men generally gambling than women and the reason is that women tend to have lesser financial burdens and responsibilities than women which is why they are not as desperate for money as men.

Also, all the reasons you iterated above that lead women to gamble are good, and in addition, the environment in which the woman grew up matters. There are some you can never preach gambling to them no matter how bored they are or financially challenged, while there are some that have been infected since they were growing up. This set of people sometimes do it not for the financial gains but just feel like gambling for the feelings of it.

Loneliness must be one. I have lived with my aunt for more than a year and their neighbors told me, she wasn't a gambler at all until her husband sailed to the sea for years. The husband occasionally calls her but that's just it. After hearing so many tales about what sailors do when they dock at a port, they do stuff like take a girl to their cabin.

I feel sorry for her but she could have had an idea of the lifestyle of a sailor before walking down the aisle with him. I wouldn't have really consider loneliness, boredom and stress as a driving factor, but this explains how they could drag women into gambling. However, I think the major reason women go into gambling is because they want to earn for themselves. They interact everyday with their male friends, brothers, colleagues who are into gambling and who talks about their big wins, so they are also tempted to give it a shot.

What makes women go into gambling?

Possibility to get new set of frying pans quicker than Xmas or Bday.

The main point is money so that they can buy stuff that is needed in the home and also help the husband with finances.

Women are human also men and women are the same with what is the reason of men go to gambling it is still the same with women, they go for fun or they go for profit, women also get addicted same with men or they are more able to control their emotions though there are just rarely seen in the physical casino but right now with online one there are tons of women doing it as they just can gamble using their smartphones.

Generally, both men and women have similar motivations for gambling, which can vary from person to person. These motivations may include seeking entertainment, leisure, or using gambling as a form of escapism, among others. I find it puzzling why there is often an attempt to distinguish between the motivations of males and females, unless these reasons are genuinely gender-specific, which I believe is quite rare.

The casino will ensure the safety of everyone who visits the casino will feel comfortable. And that's right. Surveillance cameras are always there in every casino corner to monitor everything closely. If anyone wants to cause trouble, the casino security team will immediately deal with it. That will make everyone feel comfortable playing in a casino like that and not only men but women will also find a comfortable place to gamble.

Yes, women will come with their friends and often gamble with friends and other gamblers. There may be more challenges felt by every gambler, making people want to gamble longer.
