Why do you not gamble on women sports? (tennis not included)

[Queentoshi]

I do not know if this has been discussed before, but I want to know why most discussions on sports asides tennis is about the men's side of it and the women side is about only barely mentioned. Take football for example. Why is there low engagement in women sports from the side of viewers and even gamblers who are sports bettors? Is it not easier to win on gambling on women sports than men's sport? or is there no gambling site offering odds for betting on women sports?

Men sport is mostly watched. Gambling sites deals most with men sport. Some gamblers can not gamble in what they do not watch or know much about.

Because most user here is men which means woman's sports is not that popular for discussion here in the forum. Female in general is not attracted on gambling therefore there’s very little demand on sports involved woman in gambling industry.

Most user here follow men sports as support to our favorite team. Sports existence is not for gambling while gambling is not that popular to woman. It just happened that sportsbook cover both gender for their book.

I'm going to talk about soccer, which is the sport I bet on
This year I bet a lot on the Women's World Cup, there was even an official thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5455617.0

I remember that at the beginning everyone thought it was going to be a championship with full of matches with more than 8 goals, easy etc, but the championship surprised everyone with difficult matches, with the favorites being disqualified, and even had an unprecedented champion

The reason, I think, is simple: lack of popularity, but it's being improved.
It used to be more difficult to watch the women's matches, but this year it was broadcast on the internet, so it was well publicized, broke records for the number of users watching, and I think there was even a record prize for the winning
Little by little, women's sports are gaining more popularity and that's very good
The World Cup was a great example where supposedly weaker countries managed to play on equal terms with the stronger ones

Talking only about the bets, it was a very difficult championship to predict, many matches surprised me, but I still made a good profit

or is there no gambling site offering odds for betting on women sports?

if you check enough sportsbooks you'll see them offering odds on women's sports, though I usually see odds on women's football or volleyball. also, the reason why men's sports are mostly talked about by sports bettors is because it is far more popular than women's sports and there are far more viewers too.

Is it not easier to win on gambling on women sports than men's sport?

would you mind elaborating as to why it would be easier to win when betting on women's sports than men's sports? are you saying that women's sports are far more predictable than men's sports?

I do love watching women play but not in Tennis or Football, I like it more with basketball and there's actually a thread made by @YuginKadoya for the WNBA prediction and discussion which I am active. You can check it out and join it if you like. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5404654.0
About the question, I think it's because traditionally people are used to watching the men's game and now that there's also a league for women it still needs to gain attraction for more people to support it.
Even women fans do watch the men's game more but I don't think there's a deep meaning with that. It's just that it must be introduced to people first and it's not like in just a snap fans will come to watch them. It's slow, but I do believe they are getting there.
WNBA had been selling out their tickets in the playoffs and now in the Finals so it's somehow improving.

If you are a woman, I think it's normal for you to support women's sports.  I can see this could turn the subject into something else.
Obviously, the majority of the users in this forum are men so it's understandable to see discussions for men's sports and betting. It's always men who discuss sports and betting.

Somehow a group of ladies doesn't always discuss sports with them, they just talk about boys. I don't even see the women talk about WNBA that is supposed to be for them. Instead, women watching the NBA. 

[ryzaadit]

Do you compare women & men sport?

How much revenue they bring? It's also one of the reason why people betting so much on men sport or men sport more excited game rather than a women sport. The game is just to boring and the skill kinda average.

Feel free to see women vs man game like (Soccer), 15 goals to man-team while the women played againts non-active player/team.

Women sports I think does not have that vibes and momentum like the men sports and in terms of popularity, the men sports are much more popular compared to the women sports although women are good players because the time I watched their sports, I saw good players amongst them and their performance was excellently displayed for all to see but I think their sports should be given priority to make public and gain more recognition it deserves. At least they gain attention and recognition when it comes to other sports like volley ball and basket ball. Although I have seen some  of the casinos put up women games for gambling too which is encouraging so that the female would have that sense of belonging and to patronize their gender games as well.

I had another thought about the women sports as it relates to performance. Not every  gambler knows the women team key players to gamble for. Some do check for historical performance before gambling because that gives one a bit assurance of win in the men sports and another too from analysis from others gamblers that do play men sport game regularly too one can gamble but in the women sports if you are not a regular type that watches female sports how do you know gamble even when you have some one to do the analysis for you, you would doubt it because their names are not popular.

Female sports are not popular in many countries. In fact, many people don't watch female games in my location because they see it as a waste of time. I think it also has some cultural and religious undertone. Most cultures or religions don't give women the privilege or freedom to express themselves. In some nations, females are barred from engaging in some sports and this will discourage investors from gambling firms. Another issue is that you can't compare the quality of male sports and female games. The male competition is more serious, exciting and entertaining. Sometimes female sports are so boring that you might even sleep off watching them. But this doesn't mean that there are no interesting female matches.
All sports are unpredictable so we cannot assume that female games are easier to predict. An example is the just concluded World Cup when some African nations defeated a few highly rated female teams. Popular games like the female World Cup are also covered by some gambling houses but I have never bet on them.

Maybe what you have seen up to now is that most of the gamblers here are almost the majority of men so they will only discuss sports for men such as football and most of the big league events are in men's sports and rarely see women's sports, but if I'm not mistaken there are also gambling sites that are open for betting on women's sports such as women's football championships so you can check them out on the big gambling sites.

We have also discussed gender equality for women and men in gambling, but this is not intended to exclude or alienate women. If you really want to, you can open a thread about women's sports here to represent that, of course it will open up discussion for other female gamblers to discuss. Moreover, this forum is open without selecting men and women, it's just that the discussion of topics is mostly made by men, so there are lots of discussions about men's sports, personally I don't follow women's sports betting.

Gambling on sports played by women, not knowing what to bet on, even though women often compete in tournaments such as: Football, volleyball, swimming, boxing and so on, so what should be bet on, I don't think there is, for example, football teams/clubs don't even know their names, let alone female players, who should be proud or prioritized.

In my opinion, sports played by women are not for betting, women's sports are only for watching, maybe that's what gamblers would do better, rather than taking risks, betting on sports we must really understand and follow all the actions, situations whether it is for players, teams or clubs, You could say that 1% of me knows the names of athletes in the world of sports, I understand very little about women's sports, I don't know what to bet on.

[ralle14]

My reasoning for avoiding women's sports is the same as betting on tennis it's too unpredictable or competitive than what you'd expect. I remember betting on the Women's Champions League a few months ago, and when it came to the playoffs, you can never trust the big favorites to secure the win most of the time (even with the home advantage). The amount of upsets that happened was too much, i'd better switch to a different sport and go back to the leagues that i'm more familiar with before I lose most of my profits and bankroll.

When you assume that low engagement on women sports is due to casinos not offering odds on the sports, I would say that its far from that, at least, in the last women world cup that ended just few months ago, a lot of casinos, both global and local casinos offered odds on the games, I even placed a few bets on some of the games, some I lost while other I won,

Personally, I would say that the major reason why discussions on women sports is very low is possibly due to the low interest, you will agree with me that women sports is not always as interesting as the men's, and this I assume is because men's sports are more competitive than that of the women, and it doesn't end there, men display aggressiveness in their game, which is something i believe the fans like to see, its trilling and always exciting.

This are qualities women sports lack, and personally, i believe this are the reasons why interest in women's sports is very low compared to that of the men.

People watch and bet on woman's matches but it's not that too acceptable please pardon me if I have used the wrong words or do I say I lack words to classify them. Men football are mostly given attention since most of gambling mostly give attention to men's club than the women and lot of people do not find it interesting to spend to watch due to some of their personal reasons. For me I can't really recall when I have sat down to watch the women match or even follow up the whole things.

Not really so because most times,  I bet on both male and female matches and that some time my most favourite leagues to bet on women is the USA leagues,  and this most matches must be played around 9 pm-12 pm games that are line up this time are mostly going to end with whatever results that the match enter the second half with and that is how best I select those women games.

I also suspect that the reasons why most football or other sport bettors prefer to speculate the male matches more than the female matches is because females score more in their matches and it seems so hard to predict how many scores and which club is going to score higher in the matches,  so this male footballs matches becoming the favourite for some sports speculators.

Just my honest opinion, because they are not popular as sports played by men and also the number of teams/players/games are comparatively a lot less in women's sports that is why you mostly see sports betting on games played by men but there is no restrictions for anyone to bet on any game, if you are someone who watches that sport then you may have knowledge about it then you can share it with other gamblers to gain traffic for that game.

Since you are talking about all sports except tennis. I rarely like to watch tennis. However, let's come to your point, all gamblers bet on sudi men's games. The main reason for this is that the sports that we gamble or like to bet on are men's sports because we mostly watch men's sports. So all those who are gamblers are more experienced in men's games, be it football, cricket or casino etc. Although women's sports are seen on the surface, they are always watched carefully, because of which many things remain unknown about the game. For example: how a team plays, how they have played in the past, how a player plays, etc. From my experience I can say that to bet on any sport one must have thorough knowledge about that sport. If one bets before becoming experienced then the gambler will definitely lose his money.

Well, it's not that I hate it but I feel like I can't tell the stats of these women. Furthermore, I think people who do sports bet on AMA or boxing it's often discussed here but not on other sports or it's too rate to have it in here. Sports minded people who loves to gamble will totally pick the same gender compare to the other one.

Lets really talk about being frank is that watching womens games is really that too booring comparing to men specially on sports that we do know.Lets say that we do really knowledgeable when it comes to a certain sport but still ending up on not to bet with those women games which its true that been said that if we dont really know or not really that popular of a certain team of women then we dont really be that bothering on taking up some bet. Of course we would really be that interested on betting on men or males games which it isnt really that something boring where movement is really that masculine and not really that something that you could really be that bored of when it comes to game executions and movements which it is really that totally opposite if we do speak about women who would really be that playing. We arent really that interested on something that we dont prefer or does have in mind and this is why its not shocking that there's a significant difference in between interest and demand.
