Is Gambling Gender Based?

[iv4n]

Is Gambling a gender based activity all over the world so the men are dominating  in it?

Nooo.... gambling isn't gender-based, how can gambling be that? Men dominate in many activities, but that domination is not the same as it was 50 years ago. And today it's different than before. With so many online casinos and mobile apps, people generally gamble more than ever before. No time limits, no "this is a male space" vibe, no social stigma, and with low minimum bets, gambling is open 24/7 for all of us.

I am not sure about the numbers (nobody can be sure about real numbers), but I think that men still dominate gambling. I also think that domination is shrinking, and soon it will be different... it's the same in many other life aspects/activities/things. This is visible in all modern life, not just gambling.

They say gambling is specific to men, and that's definitely true. There are exceptions, but women who gamble are very few. It's in men's nature to take more risks and experience adrenaline, so I think there might be other reasons too I'm just saying what comes to mind right now. Women, by nature, are more cautious, so I think they gamble less, and most women prefer not to take risks in gambling.

You are right, that women are not the risk-taking type, hence their low turnout in risky activities because of the tendencies and high possibility in losingout, but however, these days, the possibility of women getting into gambling is increasing, and I wish the online casinos could give statistics of registered female gamblers on their platform so we could be able to talk with facts and not by assumptions. Although females exercise more caution than males, who are more dominant and don't mind the risk they are in.

This disparity in mentalities towards possible losses does subject women to engaging in more safe activities than the way men bet. Through these data assumptions, you just believe that it should be transparent that the organisers share so that you are not lost in prediction without factual evidence on the present player makeup. We must understand that the times have changed and hence they might have changed their views on what risk is hence having factual numbers will be of great help in charting the reality of the speedy transformations that are involved in the rapidly changing engagements in this high stakes entertainment world.

That's why he probably said that gambling is gender-based because there are more men who gamble compared to women. For me, it's not good to see that a woman wastes money on gambling, and it rarely happens, but there are, and still are, women who gamble. They are really fewer compared to men. Another reason is that it damages a woman's image when she gambles. If you are a girl, and you know that more people will avoid flirting with you because of this gambling habit, you will never do it.

Men are very good at squandering money, by far than women because men takes more risks, women also know who to squander money but not on risky things like gambling, they are better buying wigs shoes and bags.  Apart from gambling my friends who are females have abandoned Bitcoin after the price start going down.

Women do know about giving up easily, once things aren't working out very well they always give up first, I have witnessed the same with women investing in online assets and also real world businesses, they know when to stop, so if any female is into gambling I think they will do better than men in terms of safety and responsible gambling, it will be easy for women to cautious themselves in gambling than men.

Gambling i never a gender base entertainment, though we can denied the fact that men are mostly involved in it, because they tend to be more resilient for taking risk and to lose money than women, anyone is free and permitted to use any platform to gamble, both online and in physical, gambling is for all and there is no gender criterial in playing a particular game in gambling.

In my country Nigeria, majority of gamblers are all men if gamblers are 100%, 80% or 90% are all men then the rest are women, in my country women usually don’t gamble that much in Nigeria men are the people that usually gamble and the reason for that is because women in my country usually don’t like sports. They are just a few women that love sports, however men love sports so much, for example, football if you go a viewing center where they show matches, you will only see men there. Women don’t have interest in football so this is one of the reasons why they usually don’t like gambling because if you don’t know anything about football, how can you be betting on football, men gamble most in my country and there’s gambling women love.

The purchasing power of women in Nigeria and the structure of society there surely have something to do with it. In countries with greater purchasing power, women bet less than men, but there is a growing number of women, especially since you can bet whenever you want from your mobile phone without anyone seeing you.

Thank you for telling us the background of your country, it gives us a truer picture of what happens. Now I wanted to ask you a question: but if you saw a woman at the betting center who was starting to like sports and betting, how would you react?

I agree that men are more resilient in taking risks and losing money. Gambling is not a gendered sport but men are ahead in gambling because they are ahead of women in terms of earning. It is undeniable that the number of women on gambling platforms is much lower than that of men. Many people may consider gambling to be a gendered sport. You may not be able to guess the exact number in statistics but those who gamble regularly in physical casinos or gambling centers can guess that the number of women in gambling is much lower in those places. Considering this the number of women on gambling platforms is much lower.

In my own opinion,gambling isn’t gender based.Though statistics may be taken from the physical casinos,it’s widely known across the world that men are the most seen gender in a physical casino,and that’s 100% correct,but still most women still visit a casino hall to place a bet.Also most religions restrict women from participating in gambling activities,that’s why it may be clearly stated that women aren’t into gambling.Their emotions also affect their gambling lifestyle,majority of women have weak emotion to succumb the pains of losses in gambling.In conclusion all genders can participate in gambling.

In some parts of the world there are somethings are absurd for women to do. And they men dominates in those areas and activities, Even in businesses.  While in other places and countries both genders are involved in any work and activities as they see it as normal.
Looking at our society recently and it is very common to see men and boys who gamble all the time and every where. It seems it rare to see women all the time engage in gambling even though a few of them do.

 Are there some gambling games that are more engaged by men than women?
Are there others that are more engaged by women? Or
Is Gambling a gender based activity all over the world so the men are dominating  in it?

Gambling is for everyone, anyone can do it if they understand the steps involved. However, when comparing the number of men and women who gamble, men are definitely in the majority. There are women who gamble, but on a smaller scale compared to men. In fact, I think that in any city, if you look closely, you will find that men are most likely to be in the majority. And it is only natural that men dominate when it comes to gambling.

[Kelvinid]

It wasn't because this was not made solely for men. Everyone can gamble, but of course, it doesn't mean everyone should take the chance and gamble irresponsibly.

Maybe in some places, people don't look fair. They criticize women for gambling, but in other places, they just look equal and don't care about each other.

That is why I don't feel right that we look down on women gambling, as they also have the right to experience things like this and enjoy life. Because in reality, both men and women have the same chances of winning and losing.

Sports betting will probably be more suitable for men's excitement. Where not only luck and luck are needed, but also some knowledge of this sport, which people rely on for sports. I always participate in sports betting only as my husband's wife, completely copying the bets of my friends. I am not strong in football knowledge and only partially watch the local championship games. However, slot machine games are somewhat different, and the graphics are really attractive, and there is some excitement, so I think slot machines will be more attractive to the female sex, although everything is quite diverse for each person.

 Are there some gambling games that are more engaged by men than women?

 Shortly - gambling isn’t ,,for men only,, but yeah - men still dominate most of it worldwide, and that’s not an accident.
 historically, gambling has always been tied to risk, ego, competition, and ,,prove you’re smarter/luckier,, energy. Those traits get socially encouraged in men way more than in women, especially in traditional societies.
As societies get more equal, you do see more women gambling - but it doesn’t suddenly flip 50/50. Biology, upbringing, and social norms still matter, no matter how modern the place is.
 So yeah
Men gamble louder.
Women gamble quieter.
 And the house takes money from everyone equally in the end

Gambling is mainly for men. There are exceptions, but nothing more. This also applies to games in general, including computer games. The majority of the players are men. Of course, there are some specific games where there is a large female audience, but this again refers to the exceptions, not the rule. But shopping and wasting money are dominated by women. They make up the lion's share of buyers, including online, on marketplaces, etc. So both sexes are equally good at squandering money.

I think you are greatly wrong, as I see a lot of opposite example in everything you post. I believe there is gender difference in games chosen. Quick games and slots are preferred more by women, games like poker and blackjack for men. Including computer games both gender play, but they play totally different games. Competitive games are for men usually, cozy and mmorpg have a lot of women representatives. Shopping... You have never been to shops that sell fishing equipment or havent visited hardware store recently. If buying luxury bag seems waste of money for men, then pay attention how much men spend on drills, screwdriver and things like that We dont need a regular screwdriver, we need a professional one, even though we would use it once.

Are you basing this on a highly specialized example?! Then you'd better give an example of the genders of the customers of a cosmetics store or women's clothing. However, it doesn't matter what happens in physical stores anymore. This retail format is already dead, but it still exists like a zombie by inertia. The mass buyer went online. Regardless of what you think, the majority of buyers on marketplaces are women. Regarding Sims-type games, I mentioned that in niche games, the female audience may prevail. So I don't see any contradictions that you see.

How about following example, if we go to streaming service like Twitch, we would see that there isnt much gender difference in game genres. We would see women play action shooters and horror games, and men play gardening and school love story quests.

Nevertheless, if I ask google or ChatGPT about gambling gender statistics, the most common answer is 60/40 in men favor. There is a great difference if asking for specific game, but in general difference isnt as great as it used to be, and gambling availability will only make it lesser.

Yeah right, with the wide access of online gamings gender may no longer an issue just like what you said it may taken from physical access thru physical casinos and those religious and strict countries that have strict rules about woman's involvement thru gambling, they are limited since cultures affects them to follow rules though now, with the use of online gambling whatever genders can simply visits and play if they wish to participate.

You are right that all religions have asked women to stay away from gambling. That is why women have always tried to keep themselves away from gambling. In this regard, if we do statistics in physical casinos, then it is seen that 99% of men participate in gambling.
Moreover, there are some risks for women in physical casinos, especially the risk of sexual harassment. That is why women keep themselves away from gambling, thinking about their own security.
Moreover, online casinos do not require physical participation, which is why women participate in online gambling. However, if statistics are available, women's participation is much lower than men's.

I totally agree with you that woman who have the mindset of bearing risk to gamble is very few and those few women that has the mind to take risk are super good when it comes to sports betting predictions because they are both good watching football, and these particular thread just reminded me when i first met a young girl in the betting hall, at first i didn't know that she was a girl till when she has finished predicting and asked the people working in the bet hall to play the game for her and i reprinted the same game and game played that very day, so gambling is not a gender based.

Gambling is certainly not limited to certain criteria because everyone can access and participate in it, but men are indeed the dominant group because more men do it. Those who have money can do it, and yes, they can do it at online or physical casinos.

Another reason, in my opinion, is that most men have financial problems and they choose gambling as their option, hoping for a miracle. With fewer women participating, it may be because they are aware that gambling is risky, so most women avoid it. And among those who do participate, they tend to become addicted because they cannot control themselves while gambling; they tend to chase wins that are actually unnecessary.
