Between females and males, who are more resistant to gambling losses?

[Miles2006]

Women are better gamblers from my observation although anyone can win anytime not minding the gender so the question is not valid, women gamble with emotions is obvious just like what I stated while writing in a topic related to gambling and female gender. Not minding the gender any gambler can develop soft emotion and weakness, the fact is any gender who rely on gambling win can easily fall in this category. I have never seen any female who have gambled for long but rather most of them quit during the process, women can easily resist gambling habit due to loss and stress. What I observed, seeing the male gender quitting gambling is rare despite the emotions and loss and I wonder why it’s very difficult resisting gambling habit

Women are more emotional which is why there's much less women among pro poker players.

How do they handle addiction and will they find it easier to fight it? I think that women are more family oriented in general and if a woman gambler has a child or gets married she'll put family first and stop playing. I know that women can do that with ease when they feel like it would jeopardize their relationship or well being of their children. My mother used to be a smoker and when she had me she quit because she did not want to intoxicate me. I also know a bunch of women who had no problem quitting jobs and changing their lives because of their husbands or children.

Yes, you read right as the topic stated. Also, which gender do you think can easily give up on gambling? 

Which gender will get worse when they are addicted to gambling? 

Or do you think it's the same thing for every gender that is into gambling? 

I was just having a little chat on the other thread when I read a member's comment who says that women are better gamblers, which I really disagree with. I believe that men are the better gamblers here. With all my thoughts running through my mind, I just decided to create this topic to get your view on it. 

Although some woman are strong but majority of the woman population have weak emotions and that is why I feel they will easily give up on gambling because they hate to continually loss and the second point is that since women have weak emotions, they can easily get addicted to gambling and can often practice revengeful gambling. 

What is your view? 

I would look at this from a slightly different angle and say that women are generally more risk adverse than men, so are likely to place more conservatively or stay away from gambling in general. Traditionally they have had a disadvantage when it comes to salary as well, which means they had to make their wages go further although it's good to see this has largely equalized in many "developed" countries and is less prominent now. Men are more reckless, gun ho and willing to take high risk chances that do not always pay off - so they will lose money in a stupider way really. In summary, these sort of behaviors would seem to suggest that men are more susceptible to gambling losses.

I think there are fewer of them because few women were able to try playing poker initially. If their number were equal, then surely more women would play than now. Also, do not forget that women need to take more care of themselves and they can devote less time to poker than men. If a woman locks herself in a room and plays for days like those who want to learn to play well, then most likely many men will stop paying attention to her. This was said by a poker streamer I once watched, she played very well. If we touch on resistance to losses, then the chances are equal in my opinion and there are no differences.

Losses don' depend on your gender lol. Every one of us losses at some point. There are just a lot fewer women playing in the first place that's why most people think men lose more than women. On giving up, now that may vary but with no statistics to back it up, can't really answer it. In my personal opinion then it's women since the majority of them are a lot more emotional than men, which isn't a bad thing imo, but it is something that can't last when gambling. Addiction wise they're about the same imo. Again, there are just fewer instances of women playing that's why it looks like it's mostly males who get addicted.

[Bananington]

Yes, you read right as the topic stated.

It is not a matter of gender, Resistance to gambling losses can be traced to individual nature.

Also, which gender do you think can easily give up on gambling? 

Females will Find it easier to give up gambling because gambling is not a very common thing among their gender, and since there will not be many people like her gambling, she can easily quit. Not the same for the males because more males gamble, and at a time when a gambler is trying to quit, people around him may not be helping matters.

[skarais]

I wouldn't say women are better at risk management and emotions when they lose. On average, women have softer feelings and they tend to get stressed more easily when they don't get something they want, let alone lose something they want to win. Men are better and more reliable, but not all women are bad at controlling risks and managing their emotions.

Even though that is my personal opinion, I don't expect that to be used as a reason why women are not considered better than men in terms of controlling emotions. The nature of women is that it is difficult to control their emotions, on average women get angry easily and fail to control them.

[alani123]

I don't think it's that much of a gendered difference but rather a matter of how a person is brought up.
For instance many women are brought up with certain sets of skills and a lot of guidance on what to do with their life, even often strict restrictions.

While men are given freedom, more money to handle and generally have high expectations placed on them by society. So it's natural under these pretense men gamble more.

I don't know what would have been the ideal scenario specifically pertaining to gambling but generally. Perhaps if we treated woman equally we would have a better society overall. Maybe them gsmbling more would be a small downside but overall positive outcomes all around.

[Davidvictorson]

In as much I don't want to doubt what you have said, I can tell you that I saw a woman that emptied her account a day at the casino house and believe me it was not a very sweet experience and that's why I believe that woman get more emotional, despite the fact that this woman kept losing, she was just betting continuously until their was no money left in her account. The worst part of the situation was that she was gambling on a visual football game. Before the woman entered that casino, she came to my friend's shop to make a cash withdrawal of about $50 in conversion from my local currency, and after a long hour in the casino, she came out and did another withdrawal. So it continued until she came the last time to make another withdrawal, but the transaction was declined due to insufficient balance. 

I guess you are talking about sports betting and not casino since you mentioned "virtual"
This is one woman out of many others. And for this woman who you have talked about, I bet there are 10 men who emptied their bank accounts for bet for every woman one woman who does. Don't you think so?

What is your view? 

I have tried to stop a female and male from gambling before.

Here is my result.

A 20 years old girl in my family was caught by her mother stealing money to gamble, I was call to intervened after they have tried to stop her many times and we are living in the same area, she has no father anymore and her mother was tired about the issue, it took me a hour and half to speak some sesnes into her head and she stopped.

I asked her some questions and I apply my own gambling past experience too, she finally stopped gambling, my advice wasn't even about telling her to stop, but she chose to stop because I told her that only 10% of gamblers get lucky and the remaining 90 lose.

I told her about two people who are already an adult today who ruined their lives because of gambling addiction, and she knew them too, she was shocked to know that these two adults were into gambling as well.
I couldn't get to do the same with a junior brother of mine, I tried the same method and he stopped for a while but later started to gamble on his own, but at least I tried to lecture him, he claimed he was now responsible about his gambling activities, I think females are easier to resist gambling than male.

[Apocollapse]

I don't feel like "give up" is a correct terms here.

People who quit gambling completely aren't caused of weak emotions, but it just because gambling isn't their thing.

It's same to males, not all males like to gamble because they have so many responsibilities and they're looking for financial stability than entertainment. Although, males have more chance to become addicts because they didn't think about the future.

Most women are not gambling. Women are weak and that makes them not to like to gamble because women do not like to lose. With all the news we have been hearing about gamblers, in out of 10 news, hardly will you see it related to women. So because of this I will say women are better.

Not all the time, I've seen and I've known a lot of gamblers who's a women and they are independently strong emotionally and physicallg when it comes to managing theirselves that's why I disagree to your statement. Women doesn't want to experience losing in gambling that's true somehow, but that doesn't mean that they can't gamble well or they can't hold their emotions when it comes to gambling because as far as i know, Majority of gambling addicts today came from Men.

[joeperry]

I don't have actual statistics and this is only my view regarding this. I think the woman is more resistant to gambling losses as majority of the gamblers are male and personally most of the gamblers I know are male, I have plenty of female friends and all of them are not interested in gambling as they think of it as a waste of time and a risky way to gain profit. They might have a weaker emotion but due to their nature of not wanting to play gambling, I find them more resistant to it.

Also it's in the nature of the man to always give to family and gambling is one of the risky method to achieve it and most of the male providers do tend to rely in this.

[bakasabo]

which gender do you think can easily give up on gambling? 

Which gender will get worse when they are addicted to gambling? 

Or do you think it's the same thing for every gender that is into gambling? 

How come we even get correct answers for that when each person is different and has individual approach to gambling. Not to mention the difference in religion and region (location). And why is it even about gender? Math, luck is equal for any gender.

My answer for the second question would be following - the one who earn and spends more will have it worse when becomes addicted. And there is no proper answer for first and second questions. As we have example of both men and women being crazy for gambling, and being lucky. Both, men or women dont like to lose and will be similarly disappointed when they lose.

I agree with this. Emotionally strong women are rare on the face of the earth, and normal women tend to be weak emotionally and they can't bear a lot when it comes to things such as losses. There are a lot of differences in the natures of a man and a woman, and these differences make them have different views and thoughts regarding gambling when they are involved in it.

A man in general would be able to have more control when they are gambling, they might be able to stop when they are losing or stop chasing their losses when they see it's not possible, but women will barely be able to do that because I have seen women losing way more than they have initial lost only for trying to recover their initial losses.

I agree with you, indeed losses do not depend on gender, women or men are the same, if they gamble then losses are something they will definitely experience and feel. Also, the number of women who play when compared with men gives the impression that men gamble more. However, in comparison, who is more resistant to losing at gambling, perhaps it is more specific to their own perception of gambling. Now if a woman and a man gamble with the aim of aiming for a profitable win, then in my opinion it's the same. Their wrong thinking can lead them to losses that are bound to occur.

However, it is true that women are known for managing their money better than men, it's just that in my opinion everything is the same in gambling, what differentiates this in my opinion is their own thinking. Each individual has their own perception of gambling, if they have the same goal of gambling to get a profitable win, I think there is no difference. Indeed, there are no statistics that can confirm who can tolerate losses more when gambling is done, but I think this is based on each individual's thoughts.

I disagree to this, the thing is that if you will search about statistics on who is more prone to addiction, and its clear that men are the one who has the most to be addicted in gambling, there are mang reasons but the conclusion is that men are more on wanting to play or to entertain and gambling is one of them, unlike women who prioritize other things and less in gaming or playing, although I believe that both gender are prone to addiction and we cant say that its because women are more fragile when it comes to emotionally that means they are most likelt to be addicted or to lose money, a big no, it will still depends on the person itseld regards wether he/she is a men or a woman. But yeah, based on the statistics and studies, men are more likely to be addicted to gambling.

[coin-investor]

Yes, you read right as the topic stated. Also, which gender do you think can easily give up on gambling? 

I did not rely for studies for my answer I just based it on logic and experience, me it's the females because they are more mature and sensitive if they think that the family they head as a mother and wife will suffer they will do everything to leave gambling and give it up.

Which gender will get worse when they are addicted to gambling? 

The males are the aggressive types they hate to lose and they will always do everything to regain what they've lost, that makes males fit in the category of getting worse when they are addicted to gambling

Although some woman are strong but majority of the woman population have weak emotions and that is why I feel they will easily give up on gambling because they hate to continually loss and the second point is that since women have weak emotions, they can easily get addicted to gambling and can often practice revengeful gambling. 

There is a 2013 study and I believe it's still relevant today the figure may be higher if there is a study but the results will still show that men or males are more prone to gambling addiction because of their aggressive nature, you just have to look on physical casinos to see that its the male that dominate the premises.

Only 2.9 percent of women were found to be problem gamblers, compared to 4.2 percent of men. Consider the number that we discussed previously to encompass the number of U.S. adults struggling with gambling addiction: 6 million.

This is entirely dependent on the person involved. There are some female gamblers who have a stronger will than some men, and there are also some men who have very poor gambling abilities; they either get addicted easily or give up so quick. 
 
But judging from the population I see around gambling, females don't gamble much, but those I see around are really doing a good job when it comes to their country, and the rest of them, even when they lose a game, know how to comfort themselves very well without letting other people know, but some can be so deep in their emotions, allowing it to control them. 

Women are more emotional than men, so we should expect them not to control their emotions that much when they lose a gamble, it is simple to also understand that gambling can be emotional so it takes a guru or a gambler that has been in the system for a while to resist loses,  I agree that women are not much into gambling, there is know way a woman can handle this kind of situation than men, I don't agree to that.

If we should take note of the recent occurrence in some countries, women are getting much involved in gambling this days, we use to know women as the most economical in handling family savings but in some homes where a woman gambles the case is now different because all gambler possess a particular mindset which is winning to cover up some funds that was taken from savings or funds that was meant for a particular purpose, this kind of mindset always fail because of the uncertainty surrounding gambling.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

But on the other hand, I would tell you from personal experiences, that women are better gamblers than men, and women also know how to manage funds in gambling than men, and women are more likely not to get addicted to gambling than men, and this is because, men can easily get really aggressive with gambling, and this aggressive nature in men is what often lead many of them into becomimg addicted to gambling, if you doubt this, then I will ask you to go out, search online, look around your area, ask people around you - then come back and tell us how many women you found that are addicted to gambling, and also tell us how many men you found that are addicted to gambling, you will discover that the number of women addicted to gambling cant be compared to the number of men, because the gap is so enormous, Men easily get addicted to gambling than the women, and this is a known fact.

Well, I will agree with you that I have not seen so many women getting addicted in gambling compare to the high number of men who addicted to gambling. Maybe I was just thinking otherwise because of the first experience I saw a woman gambler exhibiting as I narrated here.
 I go out every day and I can testify that there are more of male addicted gamblers in the street than femal and really do I even see female gambling in my vicinity apart from one woman that is always at the casino all day long, if she's not there in the casino, then you will see her sited along in one abandoned uncompleted building.

are the male gender, when a man becomes addicted to gambling, the guy starts spending all his salary, then goes into a lot of debt and then becomes a thief and consequently gets involved with drugs and dies or gets arrested for stealing or killing someone while robbed this person. while women, when they become addicted, spend their entire salary, go into a lot of debt and then start prostitution and get involved in drugs and die from drug overdoses. women hurt themselves more when they are addicted, while men hurt other people more when they are addicted

Yes, I totally agree with you bro, men are too aggressive and they really do a lot of crazy stuffs when they are addicted to gambling and the end result for some of their actions could cause them death or life in prison.

Or do you think it's the same thing for every gender that is into gambling?

They are definitely not the same thing and that is easy to see
