Women can gamble ok but I don't know if they can accept the pain of losing gambling. I think men have more tolerance than women. If a man loses all his money in gambling, he can cope. But for a woman it will be very difficult to adapt. I think there is a lot of difference between women and men gambling but women have much more patience than men. If a woman gets addicted to gambling then she has a chance to do something good in life will be completely lost.
Men are more dominant in using reason, while women are more dominant in using feelings, that's at least what I know. With that, when they gamble, their emotions may be even more overwhelming, because feelings dominate them.
I actually wouldn't have a problem with women or men gambling, because the most important thing here is responsibility. If men are irresponsible, the risk will be even greater.
