Few observations about luck-based games in comparison to skill-based games (2).

[Davidvictorson]

There is a chance that the nature of the game has something to do with the gender that plays in that game most. There is no official study for this yet, but I am thinking that we will find more females playing and drawn to luck-based games than skill-based games because of how difficult the process of learning skill-based games may be.

Interesting observation that could spark further research. What prompted this observation? I would love to see some examples based on your experience. Some "luck based games" are slots although at some point one needs a small level of skill to win. Poker is skill based. Anyways, I need to pay close attention to this observation in the casinos.

Another observation about luck-based games that a new gambler with an interest in them has to know is that they have the potential to make you, as a gambler, spend more money gambling than skill-based games.

What do you think?

Yes..I agree. The newbie will keep thinking that their luck is in the next game and the next and the next and before they know, their time and money is gone. And they'll go on chasing their losses resulting in more losses and the onset of gambling addiction.

We're already in 21st century, it's surprising that someone still talk about male vs female in this era.

Anyone regardless their sex can do anything they want, there are many females are working as a data scientist, developer, doctor etc that require high knowledge in STEM.

Why there are more men than women in work or anything that related to money? because women are forced to raise their kids, which make them can't continue their career. Same in gambling, men are looking to make money in gambling.

[ralle14]

It's the opposite from my perspective or maybe it's just cognitive bias because I mostly see us men dominate the gambling sphere and i've noticed women tend to take the safer route when it's presented.
 
For the second part, I agree even if you have a slight interest in gambling it's very easy to get drawn into the activity until it becomes a hobby. Most gambling sites do their best to make their casinos accessible and it's why a lot of them don't have a limit on deposits.

Even though some other users mentioned that it's just an observation, and I agree that something not backed by any statistical data isn't anything more, I understand the OP's point of view. Statistically, men were always more sport-oriented, mostly with football, basketball, boxing, etc. With that being said, the observation stems from the fact that men are usually the ones watching sports, thus betting on them. Nothing has to do with the difficulty skill-based games require. All types of gambling are reliant on luck; placing a few bets on football isn't a nuclear science.

Moreover, it's way easier to get carried away with luck-based games as a newbie; add beginner luck to the equation, and you have the perfect combination. Most gamblers start with such games.

[lovesmayfamilis]

I agree with the OP. Women primarily count on winning at the casino, simply hoping for luck and most likely to have fun. Surely among women, there are sports experts, but most likely their number is not large; however, betting on fast games does not require much knowledge, which is attractive due to its simplicity. In addition, gambling addiction appears more often in men, since they come up with such things that they can correctly calculate the next step, which will lead to winning. Women are more prudent; if they are unlucky several times, they can replenish their need for dopamine by shopping.

It is not a comparison topic about men versus women. It is a comparison about women. That women are likely interested in casinos than bookies. Which might be true because men are the ones that are watching sport most. But it is not in comparison with men. And generally, people know that men are involved in gambling than women. Be it casino or bookies.

[ethereumhunter]

I don't think most females will be playing gambling games based on the luck because if females have interest to betting, they will try to follow males to place their bet. Regarding if females have skill in analyze or not, if they want to choose gambling games based on skills to have fun, they will still use that games. Gambling can attracts people's attention, no matters if they are females or males because gambling offers a chance to win big money.

That makes people comes to casino and playing their favorite gambling games. Those people are female and male so they will use their own favorite gambling games which gambling games based on the luck and skills.

So are you calling women stupid? lol.  Kinda feels like what you're saying here.  I would say in general that women tend to gamble less than men do.  I don't think it's a huge gap between the two sexes but in general it sure seems this way.  I think if anything it's that women tend to be a bit more conservative with their money than men are, so they often see gambling as a bit reckless.  I think they also might just simply not gamble as much as if that's the case, since they don't take time to learn skill based games you would probably find them playing luck based games when they do. 

I wouldn't call women stupid either, like you said they are more concervative with their money than men. So most of them don't bother about learning a skill to gamble, like analyzing matches, they'll rather play luck based games that doesn't require any special skills. Although I've seen women that are very passionate about sports bets but you can't compare their numbers with men.

I believe that more gamblers are into casino games, especially women, because it's not everybody that's into sports, infact you don't need to have any particular game interest to gamble in a casino. So with this I think that luck based games will have an edge over skill based games.

Another observation about luck-based games that a new gambler with an interest in them has to know is that they have the potential to make you, as a gambler, spend more money gambling than skill-based games.

Not only the profitability but also due to the simplicity of the game. You will just need to spin and wait for the result since pure luck while skill-based game needs some analysis in able to make just single bet. On top of that, skill-based game has time restrictions which means a user bet has a cooldown that needs to wait in able to check the result.

Gambler especially newbie preferred quick and less complicated game like slots since it can be played immediately right after they register without thinking much. Just spin and win!

This is the reason why slot games is always the selling point of an online casino because newbie preferred it despite its RTP is low compared to skill based game.

I find a lot of women in Bingo. Here in our country, there is this local gambling site and there are a lot of women playing the game. How do I know? The names popping out of the chatbox.
I think we won't see much in sports betting because there are not many women's sports while others don't like men's sports too. So I agree, there's a chance that most women are in luck-based games and I think that's okay. There are also men who prefer luck-based games rather than doing deep analysis in sports betting or other strategy-based games.
For online gambling business, it doesn't matter as long as we giving away out money.

You know, their appeal to people is very interesting. Though the reality is that these games are made with the odds stacked against you, we have all heard the legends of people striking the jackpot. Its a calculated risk.
Luck-based games appeal because of their unpredictability and promise of rapid reward. People search for rewards; these games appeal to that basic impulse. Even a tiny amount of the excitement of winning might set off a dopamine spike that easily leads one to become hooked.

These games, meanwhile, are not a rapid money maker. These are kinds of entertainment that one should savor sensibly. Should you be playing, do so with a clear head and a defined budget. Dont pursue your losses; know when to turn away.

I think you are right on this. I know a good number of female gamblers and they love luck based games. Unlike before that the few female gamblers play only sports bet, now casinos are becoming very popular. I even observed that there is a surge of such game in my city, the awareness is spreading among the youths females inclusive. Just a major win by few people will recruit hundreds of people so the business keeps expanding. They even have groups where various casino games are discussed including the popular Slots.

It is not just about females but even males that are new to gambling or males with no much knowledge about games would want to play gambling based on luck. From my experience and people I know who are into gambling,  it is common that most people even started with games they know nothing about but all they need to do is just to make guess or predictions believing that win the game. Their is not bad playing games like this, but it is so bad when one goes into like being ignorance, not really understand what gambling is all about.

This is the kind of game a gambler needs to know it is important to understand the limit of playing and to play with amount you can afford to lose. Beginners believe they can always hit the luck and they still need to continue to play.

[Frankolala]

Women don't like much stress when it comes to gambling because most of them don't play much games or sports when they were young. They will prefer to dance and sing but men are more into sports and other games. However, gambling is still more of luck than skills because if two professionals are gambling with poker pvp their luck will be based on the cards they pick.

Another observation about luck-based games that a new gambler with an interest in them has to know is that they have the potential to make you, as a gambler, spend more money gambling than skill-based games.

It is the same way that a luck-based game can make you hit the jackpot without having the knowledge of the game. Both luck-based game and skill game are the same when it comes to gambling and if you don't quit the game at the right time, you will lose more or when you are gambling to make profit.

No, that's discrimination. Since you presented no data, we don't assume that skill-based games are hard or difficult for female gamblers to play; I'd like to assume it's more on the character rather than the gender.

Another observation about luck-based games that a new gambler with an interest in them has to know is that they have the potential to make you, as a gambler, spend more money gambling than skill-based games.
What do you think?

That's just your observation. I've seen cockfighting and horse racing bettors losing a lot of money, and of course, Drake has been losing millions on skill based sports betting. that's one fact that destroys your assumption.

If such speculation were to be given in the 1990s, then such data would have been slightly understandable, unlike now in this 21st century in which with the help of technology, you can't name any field where you can't find women of competent capacities doing greatly there, of which the gambling industry is no different, as despite how skill base game may seems hard, we have got some females who are expert in it on a low key (i.e judging from the global standard point of view).

Another observation about luck-based games that a new gambler with an interest in them has to know is that they have the potential to make you, as a gambler, spend more money gambling than skill-based games.

That's true, but that doesn't mean that in skill-base games, that luck is not needed, because every gambler whether luck-base or skill base all needs an atom of luck to be successful.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Well, in my opinion, I think that gambling depends on luck no matter the game. Skill based game like sports (soccer for example) also depends on luck, I have seen someone that staked a very huge amount, I can not be precise about the amount but I guess it was close to $1k, the man stake the amount on two games, one was just 1.1 odd and the second was 1.3 odd but he lost the bet. Normally, the prediction was perfect but the outcome of the game was just unexpected. The skill game like poker also depends on luck, because you can not be very certain about the outcome. One can get disappointed in gambling on the game they attached all their hope to.

Take luck out of gambling and what you have left is nothing and Gambling will become nonexistent since the gambler winning depends on luck so if the factors for winning is off, it then means that the business for both the gambler and the casino is overs since no gambler will want to keep gambling when he sure that he will not win, because winning in gambling is 90% based on luck so without luck you are just 10% lucked in with whatever skills you think you have developed over the time, and one other challenge for skills based in games is that, not all games you have developed the skills to beat the house on, and even in football betting, there is still the possibility of failing at your team analysis and at some point depends on luck to ever win at those games.
I still remember the last bet I took was around 1.25 odds and on football live game, and when I staked 0.0001 bitcoin I was high hoped to win based on my team's analysis, but since the luck was not on my side, I still ended up losing that bet and then I realised that luck is a vital factors in Gambling and we shouldn't expect so much based on skills.

What do you think?

Doesnt matter whether you are a male or female, when it comes to choices whether luck based games or strategic ones will really be just that basing or depending into someones preference.
No matter how technical strategic based games like sports betting or card games, doesnt mean that women wont really be able to learn it out. Why there's so much degradation when it comes to other gender?
Honestly, its not really just that too complicated on dealing up with gambling neither of both categories. This is something that will really be that easy if you do really just that know on what you are doing.
The wrong thing on here is that on the moment that you do find yourself having some issues because once you do lost control then losing money will really be just that too big and could result
into devastation on which this is the primary issue when dealing up with gambling.

[Saint-loup]

Gambling skill based games are few. So you should name the ones you are referring to precisely, but yes I think there are more women gambling on slots and bingo, raffles or loteries, than Blackjack, Baccarat, roulette, poker or craps from what I heard and saw. Anyway you should always stay very cautious about skill based games, like Poker for example. Because players can be not always human but being bots instead. Some can even cheat if they have informations, edge from the platform.

Thank you for getting my point across and helping to clear some misunderstandings. The comparison was simply between luck- and skill-based games and the women in them.
