What is your impression about female gamblers?

[lombok]

Gambling in my country is regarded as an unhealthy habit and condemned by the public,  in as much as it has also made a lot of people millions, it has also destroyed the life of many. It is believed that it is a game for men as it is mostlly related to sports,  because most women have little or no interests in sporting activities. But that does not exclude that there are female gamblers, as it is only an impression the society gives.

The perception toward the label of gender in gambling as witnessed in society has been slowly disappearing as the issue of equality between men and women advance. In my opinion, the downsides, future-ruining influences are much realer than short-term financial benefits. The fact of it all is that, major risks are always looming over every step, irrespective of the background of the player. I perceive this negative tag as a constant wakeup call, to us all.

A lot of things are accepted by Society for women abd it's not only gambling. Smoking, Gambling and other extracurricular activities. In the past When I was going to a physical betting center to place my bets, I didn't see any female gamblers at the time so I just assume they were not many. However, online gambling opened a lot of doors and one of such doors is easy and equal access to gambling for women. Although people in society like to think otherwise, I don't have any problem with it.

Luck or random factor does not divide gamblers into men and women. They both have similar playstyle. I dont believe when people say men are more aggressive players, but women have more rational approach. I dont think there is a huge difference in number of women and men gamblers. Whenever I visit casino, I see plenty of both sex there. I remember someone said that men and women prefer different games, but that is obvious. We all have different taste for preferred games.

When it comes to psychological behavior as gambling can also be impulsive, I will always presume it that both male and female are vulnerable to that psychiatric problem as long they're gambling with the same motive.
Their risks may differ which is based on what they can afford to risk instigating from their bank rolls.
Maybe men might actually show their temperaments at a given immediate time and let go as quickly but female grievances may last longer that probably why we sees most female gamblers don't gamble often as the men because they'd be somewhere there severely battling over their lost while men may flip the page riding on.

Personally I don't think gambling addiction has the slightest chance or getting into my life because I don't see gamble like the way those addicts sees it besides I don't gamble always.

I wouldn’t be too sure about this statement, there are so many people who have felt the kind of confidence in their self control only for them to later realise that it’s not what they thought it would be.

There are so many external variables that could influences one and make them do things they thought they’ll never do, so don’t be too confident that you’ll let your guard down.

So this draws me to my question, what do you think about female gamblers? Have you encountered a female gambling addict? Do you think they have better financial management skills than men?

Just as others have said, gambler is gambler, whether male or female. I have seen male and female gamblers become addicted to this and I don’t really see any difference between the both of them.

I have problem with it, women aren't good in doing addictive stuffs, they gets to the fullest when they do that stuff, even when they are into doing drugs, she losses herself and gets pregnant by many men, a child grows without father, that's how it's always been.

When she gambles, know she's thinking of using every money anywhere to go all in until she wins back, not knowing that's a big lie, even if she's been told that recovering back isn't real.

She won't mind risking it all and loss all until she loss herself through her emotions and feelings.

So this draws me to my question, what do you think about female gamblers? Have you encountered a female gambling addict? Do you think they have better financial management skills than men?

Yes, I did encountered many of them and there is no problem with that. Why people think that there's a difference between male and female gamblers? While it's a male dominated activity but it doesn't restrict women to gamble. As for the financial management skills, this is really depending on each of us, both male and female. The issue is about on how we manage our money and how we're putting a budget when we gamble. And if there are stories of how reckless male gamblers are, it's possible that there are the same stories with female gamblers.

Gambling is not limited to any specific gender, but its certainly for everyone. If you are a female gambler, so what? There are a lot of female gamblers who have succeeded from navigating it, and despite of their losses, their financial management have never been compromised.

But if you are gambling blindly, and you make your own rules for gambling that are unacceptable, you will definitely lose your funds in the end. This is not based on individual gender, but this is purely based on individual's capacity to manage the risk in gambling.

[Muba20]

The number of female gamblers on gambling platforms is not small, the actual status of women's gambling cannot be determined because the exact number cannot be found. But it can be assumed that women have also gained a lot of expertise in gambling now. Along with men, women are also not lagging behind in gambling now. From my personal point of view, I think that both women and men can become addicted to gambling if they do not use gambling properly. That is, they dream of earning money through gambling. Since a man plays a more important role in earning money in most places, they are more prone to gambling. Accordingly, the tendency of men to become addicted will also increase than women. Women can also become addicted to gambling if they do not understand the real purpose of gambling properly. Gambling addiction never depends on gender. Therefore, there is no way to say that only men or only women are addicted to gambling.

[boyptc]

There is no gender bias anymore for any other activities that are done by men too.

We have to skip on this part now, we're on the modern world where women do basketball, drive a motorcycle, etc.

For which before it's only being done by men and so as gambling. My impression about them, just be friendly and you'll have more women gamblers then.

[Yamifoud]

So this draws me to my question, what do you think about female gamblers? Have you encountered a female gambling addict? Do you think they have better financial management skills than men?

I don't see anything wrong with women gambling. But in the case of addiction, that is a different thing. And even for men who fall into addiction, it is just the same.

Besides, gambling is made for everyone. Therefore, women are welcome to gamble. The most important thing is that they have to gamble responsibly. Otherwise this may affect their reputation and raise criticism. Of course, we don't want it to reach that point, so they shouldn't gamble if they feel they can't manage themselves.

[Jody.Drummer]

There are many people in my neighborhood who gamble but the majority are men, there are some women who also gamble but I don't find any women who are addicted to gambling, they do it outside the concept of addiction but not how the original because I only see it occasionally. I don't think there are women who are addicted to gambling but that doesn't rule out the possibility of there being women who are addicted, maybe there is just that I don't know about it. And my view on women who are addicted to gambling is the same is a problem but it can be said that it is also rare for women who are addicted to gambling because the majority who are addicted are men.

Nothing- I do not treat anyone with gender bias with regard to gambling given that anyone could freely enter and do this habit.

I have encountered a family in which every single member is addicted to gambling. It also came to a point that his mother was spending 2-3 days inside gambling hotels both to satisfy their addiction and to recover their losses immediately. It also came to the extent that my friend was borrowing from me and my other friend’s money to fuel his addiction.

There is no gender bias anymore for any other activities that are done by men too.

I fully agree with you. The moment that you put any thought about dividing the gambling community between the genders, then that will entail some sort of an implication of sexism. We live in the 21st century where both sexes have equal opportunities and entrance to anything without any discrimination to them.

In gambling, whether someone is a male or a female does not really matter, because gambling always moves in its own way. The gamblers do not have time to check if a person is male or female. Those who come to gamble usually have just one aim, which is to win or make some profit from it but there are also some different types of gamblers who sometimes come only to pass time. Even those who play just to pass time still have a curiosity to win something from gambling.

I have also come across women while gambling myself. Just like men, women also have the same strong desire to win but one difference I have noticed is that when they lose in gambling, men tend to handle it better, while women often find it harder to manage their feelings at that moment and become more upset. From my own observation, I have seen that the moment of losing affects women more emotionally compared to men and they tend to feel the pain of the loss more deeply.

In my opinion the main reason why people see male and female gambler differently is because of the ancient prejudice or superstition. In past wagering was taken as male only game. So now many older generation are surprised if they see a girl wagering. But it does not mean that girl are less brilliant or more reckless. If you ask me I would say that gambling is no longer anyone's property. Traditionally men gambled in large amount or frequently but now women are also getting into this line quite a bit due to online casino

I have witnessed that although the rate of emptying pocket in gambling is generally higher among men but when women lose their condition is even more miserable. They are mentally broken and their pocket are also put under a huge strain. So I would say that the motives or reasons for betting on both side may be different but it is completely foolish to say that one is better or worse than the other

There is this general impression about gambling that if you tell anyone that you gamble the first thing that comes to their mind is addicted gambling and then they start throwing advice and all of that. But when people see a female gambler they act as though something is wrong with what they're seeing. And it seems to me like society has painted it that way that female aren't supposed to gamble or engage in things that are related to betting, and it's possible they see female gamblers as irresponsible people.
Personally I don't think gambling addiction has the slightest chance or getting into my life because I don't see gamble like the way those addicts sees it besides I don't gamble always.

I have the feeling that this question(about female gamblers) has been asked a hundred times on the forum. Asking it once more doesn't add anything new to the discussion. I have no impression about female gamblers. I don't mind females, who are actively gambling, but I would never date a woman, who is gambling. I think that around less than 10% of all gamblers are women and I haven't come across a female gambler in my entire life. I've heard some news about statistics, showing that most female gambling addicts are elderly women, which might be true, but I have never met an elderly woman, who is a gambling addict. That's probably because I live in a small town. Things are different in the big city.

The female gender engages in almost all the sports if not all, and they also become fans to the athletes, so this reason makes some of them to participate in  gambling too. As for me, I have just encountered very few female gamblers in my own country, not that they are prohibited by law from gambling, but it is not a common thing for women to gamble, and the very few I have seen are not addicted. Furthermore, I don't encourage female gambling because it will make them look more irresponsible than the men feel since female gambling is not common. Imagine a woman forgetting to take care of her children and her husband after work and she is going to the gambling shop to go and gamble, to me is not encouraging at all. When it comes to financial management, a woman who gambles may not do well financially, let's assume the money she uses to gamble is her husband's money, and even when her husband giver money for different reason, is possible she can use that money or part for gambling which is absolutely very wrong.

...But when people see a female gambler they act as though something is wrong with what they're seeing.

I don't feel that way. I feel this to be a region specific thing, or more like a thing of close minded people. I personally come from a conservative society too, but due to Internet my brain managed to keep itself somewhat broad minded and I don't consider female gamblers different from male counterpart.

...Have you encountered a female gambling addict? Do you think they have better financial management skills than men?

My grandmother was addicted to playing cards. As for financial skills, I don't boil down to gender, rather it's dependent on individual irrespective of gender.

I live around people who like to gamble whether it's friends or family members themselves but more friends mean that only some of my family members gamble. And yes there is my aunt who likes to gamble including with her husband, I was initially surprised to find out that she likes to gamble but with her husband I tolerated it which means it's like a common thing but my view was different when I found out that my aunt also did it. It's true what you said, what I think is that women shouldn't be involved with gambling or betting, I don't know the exact reason but I think it's unethical.

Honestly I don't think I have a problem if my partner was a gambler but she's not and she doesn't even like me to be one, so I really don't have the same idea as the public in terms of this argument, gambling is for everyone, it's not a gender thing, as long as a woman is responsibly gambling, I don't have any problem with that, where I will be judgmental is if the woman is addicted. In this century, anyone can do what they like and can handle.

Choosing not to date someone who gambles is a personal decision but it does not define female gamblers as a whole. Gambling is a behavior not a gender trait. A woman placing bets does not automatically signal irresponsibility just like a man doing it does not automatically make him reckless. Not meeting female gamblers in a small town does not mean they barely exist. In many places women gamble more privately or in different forms so they are less visible. Statistics and personal experience can look very different depending on environment. Addiction and financial management are individual issues. Some women handle money well some do not. The same applies to men. Gender alone does not determine discipline self control or risk awareness.

Yes. It's a different world nowadays.

The masculinity and the feminism things have that equal view now with people who have wide understanding.

Although there will still people that wouldn't accept that fact and will still think that women shouldn't gamble and it's only assigned for men.
