How Do You View Young Female Sports Gamblers?

[Agbe]

Yesterday during the Champions League game between Arsenal and FC Porto, I saw a girl between the ages of 19 and 23 checking her betting ticket even thought she has the legal right to gamble since she is above 18years, it still appeared so awkward to me. I had so many concerns going on in my mind. I was worried that such a young girl would be gambling and also boldly checking her ticket in a viewing centre. I wondered how she gets money to gamble. I wonder what will become of her if she gets addicted to gambling. I also wondered if her parents are aware that she is into sports betting regardless that she is of legal age. I want to hear your views on how you perceive young female sports gamblers.

Personally I don't think there's anything wrong if a female is into gambling because gambling has no gender restrictions it's for both male and female, but the thing is the society don't think it's morally right for women to do some certain things and one of those things is gambling, people are judgmental about ladies that gamble because it's believed that the emotional distress that comes with it can't be handled by females, they don't have the mental capacity for it

I also think that there is no limit in gambling for both men and women, but I am more concerned about whether they can control themselves or not. In fact, many men also cannot control themselves so they become addicted.

For me, as long as they can set limits and control themselves, they can gamble, even if it is a man if they cannot control themselves, I would recommend them to stay away from gambling.

I don't see anything wrong for her to enjoy the fun in gambling when it is a free world for us to do whatever we like as long as it is not against the law. It means that you are in a region where females don't involve themselves in gambling activities. Asking about how she got the money shouldn't be your concern because she might be from a rich family or working. I have a female friend that we gamble together during weekends.

Is gambling only for boys?  Are there any restrictions on girls participating?  I know gambling is not bad for all genders as long as they don't get addicted and as long as they can afford their gambling money.

And if there are not both boys and girls underage then I don't see anything wrong here that girls bet on sports.  Also I would like to add that you are judging a movement girl, I don't think it's fair that she might be betting on sports for fun from her part time job.

There is no problem with a female gambling so long as she can keep it within responsible limits. To me, gone are the days when there was a general stereotype against women who gamble, anyone with such views still is practically uncivilised. Females have an equal right to gamble as males do, it is just that it is not common in some places to see a female openly gambling. The stereotype against women who gamble is not just from males, this stereotype is also from females to females who would criticize another female for gambling because they have the opinion of gambling as something that only males should be involved in, it is false.

Obviously, female gambling is acceptable as long as it is legal. People should be treated as humans, regardless of gender. If a man is not frowned upon for gambling, then the same should be true for a woman. There should be no segregation.

When it comes to gambling, both men and women are at risk of losing money and even becoming addicted, so both should be taught how to gamble with caution rather than viewing female gamblers as doing something wrong and male gamblers as doing something correct.

i think through out history we treat women fairly even when they incriminate themselves in a crime. the only time they get the worse treatment is if they cheated on their partners.  stone to death seem to be happening still right?

women in sports are well liked since they play sports. most husbands would likely want their woman to be playing a sport or working out to be fit. if she is betting in a particular sport, she must have learn that sport too. however for being a gambling addict, the woman should also be open to counseling.

I don't know what is obtainable in other countries, but in my country, there's still alot of dichotomy between the male and female gender. There are still alot of things that we consider is exclusive for me and also the ones exclusive to women.

Gambling in this context is something men do iny country and if my any means a woman wants to involve, they do that not in the public or in the way described by Op. But all these boils down to where and how the girl child was raised.
