The shocking rate of women interested in gambling.

[Queentoshi]

...

Hard economy and increased interest of women to make money can be the reason why there are more women in gambling.
The number of women gamblers does not yet equal the number of male gamblers, but it is slowly increasing. The bias on women who gamble have reduced, hence more women are comfortable gambling have increased. Also with online gambling, women can now gamble from home.

- we all know that gambling does guarantee 100% success but if you follow their predictions you could get atleast 60 to 70% chances of winning the bet. -

I don't know if you are serious about this statement but, gambling doesn't guarantee 100% success. I hope, new gamblers won't be mislead by your statement here.

And also, even if you follow some of these women's predictions, you can't assure at least 60-70% chance of winning your bet. It still depends on so many factors like how well do you know the sports, the actual performance of the athletes, the coach, weather, injuries and other underlying factors how a team can win a particular match.

After a thorough research, I've come to understand that the history of gambling could be traced far back to the ancient Chinese and was mostly practiced by men cause by then it didn't seem right for women to be involved in such act, Well it wasn't illegal for women but there where more men participating in casinos than women, but change they say is constant and as time passed, women gradually began to participate in the act and I think in the 19th if I'm not mistaken more women began to participate in it and by then a woman called Alice Iver Tubbs, also known as (Poker Alice) became a professional in gambling, history have it that she was very good with poker which led to the name Poker Alice.

 However in recent times we're beginning to see more gamblers who are woman emerge and though they're not yet equal to the amount of male gambler, a good amount of women globally have began to pick interest in it, since it's now being socialized, to back that up, I know some of my friends that participate in gambling and even play slot games as well as staking of the UEFA Champions League games, I know a friend who also love to stake on Al-Nassr cause her favourite football celebrity Ronaldo plays for the team. lol I won't also deny that she's gradually luring me into sports betting as well.

 Also the rate at which women are now picking interes in gambling is so alarming, there are a good number of female punters on the media with good fanbase and they give good betting advice, we all know that gambling does guarantee 100% success but if you follow their predictions you could get atleast 60 to 70% chances of winning the bet. That's to tell you how well women are now involving in gambling and as time passes there's a tendency for more women to indulge in it as well, since the social media have made gambling more popular and the fact that it involves sporting activities makes that more possible.

This is where your misconceptions begin. The notion that women are not that prevalent in gambling is a little bit misleading and sometimes even offensive on both sides of the gender spectrum, cause we got one side gravely misrepresented for their own benefit, and another who dare I say, is forced to bear the brunt of the blow just cause women don't want to be that accountable to the gambling percentage.

We have just as much gamblers in the women population as it is with men. It's just that men are more loud, more represented, and women are more keen in keeping to themselves rather than telling their whole bloodline that they won shit from the local casino. Let's take the Chinese woman for example, old ladies within the age bracket of 45-60 are seen as institutions at playing Mah Jong, card games, and Chinese Poker, while you can't really expect men to excel in that particular field. In the Philippines, women place bets on the lottery just as much as men, and they also visit casinos as often as men do, sometimes casino nights become a staple family activity for DINKs (Double Income No Kids) couples, where they would both visit casinos and play to their heart's content.

So you see, women are gamblers just as much as men are, they play, they win, and they are also susceptible to gambling addiction. No shocking rate, no misrepresentation. That's the whole truth.

[Slow death]

Looking at how most women behave, I sincerely doubt that this increase in the number of women who are getting involved in gambling, is a small number, because women have a tendency to want to use money to buy something for themselves. in their body than taking the same money to put in a casino and lose. In my country, particularly, I saw women who play every day, they buy lottery tickets, but they only buy them when they have extra money, it is unlikely that women will take the money that was intended to pay bills and go play. because for the short time that I was able to observe some women from my city who are participating with some frequency in the lottery

They didn't buy many lottery tickets at once, unlike the men who, when I saw them, had a lot of lottery tickets in their hands, I also highly doubt that there are a frightening number of women who are involved in sports betting, these football games For example, it has not been a sport that interests many women. That's why, in my opinion, the number of women involved in gambling is not very large and if there is any increase in their number, it must not have been a very large increase either. I'm in favor of both men and women having the same rights, but things like gambling I would advise women to stay very far away from it because it will easily destroy their lives

First off, you're getting my statement all wrong, now let me make you understand better, I didn't post this topic to mislead anyone into gambling blindly, but what I'm trying to say is that there are good punters on the media with good gambling skills, they're so good at analyzing several sporting games to the point that sometimes if you bet on their predictions, you could get good chances of winning, that's why i said 60- 70% so people reading would understand that they're not 100% guaranteed of success.

 Also my statement is backed by prove from my friends who are gamblers, some of them get their games daily from online punters, of course they suffer losses but they have good winning rate and make daily profits from those punters games. Also if you notice, I refused to mention any punters name even though I've heard and seen few good ones on twitter, I purposely didn't do that so people would do their own research and see for themselves.

 I put it to you that there are woman currently who participate in watching different sports activities so as to increase their gambling skills, they could tell you the 1st XI of several football teams, analyze several matchday fixtures and make good predictions as well, maybe you don't know about that, but I've come across them.

[Ever-young]

Yeah, women gamblers are increasing in number due to online casinos but I don't think they can even compete with the number of male gamblers. I don't think that even 1/4th of gamblers are women so I guess male gamblers will always be more in number because women aren't much interested in gambling as males and they really don't want to win and earn, they can easily take whatever they want by controlling their own husbands and boyfriends.

It's often true that women show less interest in gambling than men, but that really doesn't mean they don't have their challenges. They say women are more likely to experience gambling related stigma or shame, and there's a possibility for women to have different motivations for gambling than men who are known to be better gamblers.
For example, majority of women who have indulge themselves in gambling activities only do so because they're only doing it for fun and to kill boredom and at the same have a chance of winning.

I don't understand what is so special about a woman in gambling? Also, where did you get your facts? Do you have any sources which prove your claim of this sudden new surge of women in gambling, because I have noticed absolutely no difference. Sure, there are women in gambling but the men by far outweigh the women in their numbers, so your claim of a "shocking rate" does not really make sense to me.

From a evolutionary perspective, most women are not risk-takers. And that is a good thing too, or the human species would have ended a long time ago.

Come on, now you are just making up stuff. 60 to 70% chances of winning the bet doesn't tell us anything. Are those 0.05% multipliers? Or are you claiming that they have 60% - 70% change to make profit at the end of the day? Because that's just nonsense. It would put gambling industry out of business, as no one would bet themselves and would just delegate their bets to people who would bring the profits.
Obviously there can be good women gamblers no matter the gender, but give me some studies of statistics and don't just make them up as you write.

[Mrbluntzy]

Gambling is for everyone except for underage gamblers. There is no limitation of gender in gambling. So many went can even be at their home and still gamble in online casinos and no body will know. There is this argument we had one day and people were saying that woman are less in gambling while men a too many, I told them that even if women in gambling are not up to the number of men in gambling, the difference would be minor.

The rate at which women are getting interested in gambling doesn't seem alarming to me. In the past, it would be frowned upon but they do it in the secret but right now, everyone is accepting the fact that, yeah, women can gamble to as much as men can. They enjoy gambling just like their male counterparts. And it has become totally acceptable.

You know what is alarming? Underage gambling. This is what is alarming. It is like the metaphorical hydra with several heads very difficulty to kill because while there are media campaigns to stop create awareness about this and many resources out there to help underaged gamblers, we have a growing irresponsible and complacent parenting that is making it worse.

No shocks to see women gambling, it's becoming a normal thing to see and leave. We gamble to have extra changes in the pocket, ensure we use our chances eligible. We argue everyday in the system but coming to this topic, women are few and consider inferior in the system. Most people thinks gambling is not meant for women, rather there are vast numbers of other activities these women could anticipate apart from gambling. For me, I don't indulge in any activities or advise any person of the opposite sex to gamble, it's totally out of the picture.

Actually, it not worrying because it all depends on the perspective of society and also men towards women who are interested in gambling.
Not all female gamblers will be worried and of course many successful female gamblers have better attitudes and behavior than men in gambling, after all in gambling gender will not affect anything.

Hahaha I agree with you and all of that is just percentage made by the gambler, in gambling performance the opportunity is just hope of winning, no gambler has any guarantee of winning.
Women and men are all the same, they are just gamblers who are also customers who risk money and rely on luck or fate to win.
Maybe in some bets you can rely on knowledge and skills, but not many gamblers are able to do this, we all never get any results according to expectations.
Gender is only physical difference and in gambling it all comes back to each gambler whether they can do their best or not.

I do not see why this is shocking or alarming, on the past the number of women that worked and got a salary for their work was low, so the majority could not enjoy gambling because they had no money to spare to begin with.

Now that this has changed and in many countries the majority of them get a salary for their efforts, then it is natural they are exploring the options they have available to entertain themselves, and if some decide to do so with some regularity then that is their decision.

Everything has changed when the internet become more advanced. We see many online gambling sites available and give ease to all gamblers playing gambling online. This also helps women playing online gambling as they feel using online gambling makes them hide under the radar.

This makes the number of women playing gambling increase because they don't have to visit offline casinos to play gambling. They can just stay at home and use their devices to start playing online gambling. That's one reason for the increasing number of women involved in online gambling, while there are other reasons for them that they don't tell.

But this can increase the addiction problem as women can also get addicted as men. We never know why women are addicted to gambling because once someone loses control, that person can get addicted without realizing it.

[Poker Player]

When I saw this thread I searched because I thought the percentage of women was lower, but I see that it is higher than I expected.

More men (64%) engage in gambling than women (36%) – making them 7.5 times likelier to develop problem gambling habits. Who is most affected by gambling? Gambling afflicts many college students in the younger demographic (20-30-year-olds).

If you asked me before seeing that, I would have said that it was 90% to 10%, from what I have been able to see in physical casinos, where the percentage is even lower but assuming that it would rise a little due to online gambling and its higher privacy.

I think this is the key.

[EluguHcman]

Well I Will not be in doubt but this your gambling histories would had been interesting if you provided us with a link because most of us would definitely have interest towards it since you just drew my attention towards it at this moment coming across the thread.

With a personal derivative instigations if maybe women had once been deprived from gambling could be as Feminism sentiments with the fact that women are weak in emotions to withstand looses in the gambling, they (females) could maybe relying their finances on the men.
I want you to think about a scenero of someone asking you to give him/her money to go stake on what has a very high potential to lost it, I guess you would frown at it.
And when you look at it today's, the rate of women who gambles are more heart broken than those of them who could stand the pressures at a certain lost.

So then time must had grown widely advanced where all that discriminations were scraped off and women could grow up with the guts to finances themselves and so they could have also grown stronger emotions to accept that which could cause a breaking heart (emotions) which has optimises them the possibilities to then gamble.

Just my layman's thought though if really there was once related to OPe thread about the females denials and the histories of their gamblings.

[mindrust]

This is very good for the gambling industry because if more women get interested in gambling, they will also attract more men into gambling. This is true for every industry when you think about it. The more women listen to certain type of music, the more men follow. It is also sad in a way. I am not sure if these women gamble to have fun or to have an income. If they are playing to have fun then it is a good thing. It means they are not in poverty. Otherwise it means their monthly income isn't enough and they are trying to generate income in a place where they shouldn't...

"What a man can do, a woman can do better." Even if that adage is overemphasised, I am still certain that where you see men, you can see women, so gaming and gambling are no exceptions here.

What causes setbacks for women in most spheres are gender and religion, this is applicable in many environments. Still, anywhere you see women entirely free and also not stigmatised about gambling, you can be sure to see them gambling. Just like men, they are humans that think, relate and flow in every facet of life like social animals, gambling should not be an exception here.

There are also many women who are gambling that you will never know. Though this is not a survey, but these days, among 5 ladies I meet newly, at least 2 of them will be gambling. These are the people you will not expect they can ever be gambling but when you are closer to them, you can see them doing it regularly on their phones. This makes me conclude that if women could be in football and are ardent supporters of it, then one can always think that they are porous to gambling as well.

With all this long post, You forgot to indicate the actual stats on what number or percentage of woman interested on gambling to verify if it’s really shocking or not. The only thing you do this is to justify that their winning rate is high.

I don’t see any shocking information here related to woman interested in gambling aside from some of them is good on betting. I knew some of my facebook friend that do gamble but they are still minimal in number if you compared it to all my male friends that do gambling.

[Natsuu]

It’s not alarming. Not even surprising to see women participating more in what would have been classified decades ago as a man dominated activity. Your topic head certainly has an alarming tone to it but when going through the topic, I failed to see just how alarmed you are to see women now doing what they want.

You’ve noticed the gradual increase in numbers over the years so it shouldn’t be alarming as it’s barely a new thing; really. Also, with society gradually changing over the years, women are not subjected to the background anymore and are free to indulge in and enjoy any activity they fancy. Little to no societal stigma and no expectations expected from anyone anymore on how to behave.

Right. It's more like a cool evolution. Women doing their thing in areas once labeled as guys only is just the way it should be. No big surprise there. Society's loosening up and women can dive into whatever they fancy without batting an eye. It's all about breaking free from those old expectations and embracing a more open-minded vibe
