Is it right for a lady to gamble ?

[bitterguy28]

I don’t think I have ever seen any female gambler before, all that I have seen are just random accounts with feminine username on different gambling site but I have never come across anyone in real life.

that’s interesting maybe there is a cultural difference here as well because in my country it is almost common for some women to be playing card games you will see them in betting events they also play a lot of bingo especially the elderly ones

if you go to high end casinos you will also some women who are probably not regular gamblers but are ready to have fun nonetheless gambling is a form of entertainment not exclusive to a specific gender only it entertains everyone so it should not be much of a surprise to see a man or a woman gambling

And after reading your post I’m now hoping to get to meet one, the way you described their gambling experience makes it more sound more interesting than what I usually see.

Hearing that you have not seen any female gamblers is odd. Perhaps that is because most gambling is done online, which makes it even harder to spot a gambler outside of your friends, with whom you may have had gambling conversations. Perhaps maybe because of the way of life of the people in your area.

It is not uncommon to see female gamblers in my neighborhood, and based on what I have seen so far, they have the same mindset as their male counterparts. They yell at the cashier for taking too long to process their bets or payments, they get upset when their teams do not perform as expected, but overall, they are always cordial outside the casino.

Well I don’t visit betting shop I mostly just pass by or see some people in there gambling why I’m trying to get something from a nearby shop, I prefer using my phone since it’s easy and also keeps my gambling activity private - and if what you described is correct then it’s not that different from what I have seen in male gamblers displaying all those aggressive behaviors towards agents most especially when they are on a losing streak.

From now on I’ll keep a close watch at those betting shops and see if I’ve always been the one who hasn’t been paying much attention to notice them at the shop.

 I think it is the way it should be, both a man and a woman have the right to have fun, well in the case where I live a lot of things happen, first seeing a woman playing some men think they are available and ready to go find a partner, then some men approach them looking for other things, some get upset, others don't even give it importance, but sometimes for them it is uncomfortable, because they go for something else, then some what they do is scare them away, because alone they can get scared, that is in the case when they are alone, however seeing women playing is something that I think is great.

It’s exercise, they have every right to enjoy themselves, men and women alike, and seeing women indulging in activities normally associated with men is a very positive thing. Sadly, there are still circumstances when some men interpret their presence as sign of different interests, thus some women feel unsafe, although they are willing to have fun. It is something that should jog everyone’s conscience to respect other people’s personal space and make sure people are allowed to have fun without causing offense. To see more women enjoy freedom to participate in various activities is good and should encourage all individuals to create safe space for everyone.

Not for gambling though but there are some women that go to a place where men are mostly found just so they can chase clout and probably look for video for their contents.

If women would go to places without setting up cameras everywhere (which is now the trending lifestyle) then I don’t think any man would even bother to look their way - it’s just that they do things that attract attention towards themselves and then start complaining that they’re getting too much attention and still they won’t stop doing what’s drawing the attention towards them.

It is a fact, it cannot be overlooked that women are needed in everything, I say something, without women we men could not live, it's that simple, they are necessary in everything, and if it is to have fun, I think they need to do it like everyone else, we all need as humans to be able to have that freedom to enjoy, I consider that those countries that have their rules of not allowing women those activities, well, it is something very unfortunate, be it due to culture, religion or whatever, but for me it is something that I will never see any sense in.

Ladies can often be found in gambling and even betting! Many girls live in sports families, after which they think like this:" I have knowledge about sports, teams and players, so why shouldn't I go and earn money in betting? "
And I'm not making this up - this is the way of thinking of an absolutely real girl I knew

Yes, we are now in an era where women and girls have equal rights as men. If men can gamble, then women should be allowed to as well. I believe bookies don’t restrict betting based on gender, and I’ve seen many women gambling in casinos.

Absolutely, in fact, women dominate some casino games, such as bingo. As you mentioned, gender does not determine who should gamble or not. Gambling is done on an individual basis, so the gambler's gender has no bearing on his or her gambling habits. Women, arguably, are better financial managers than men. Women rarely invest their money in ventures that do not yield results. This means that women would gamble for fun or money.

Women who gamble for fun will continue to gamble for a long time because it is easier for them to manage their finances, making problem gambling less common among women. Women who initially intended to make money from gambling, on the other hand, will stop gambling if they do not make money. This is because when they do not make money, they believe they are wasting their money and will stop gambling.

After there was online gambling, the culture that used to be women did not gamble, but now gambling is a game where many women play, which was initially just for entertainment, over time it became an addiction, so it is no longer a public secret that women gamble regularly.

I really don’t under why some people, due to their sense of gender inequality think or believe women should be restricted from gambling. Yeah it’s true that we don’t often see women in casinos and gambling outlets like men do, but that doesn’t in anyway mean that women should be restricted or not allowed to gamble. Gambling is meant to be a recreational activity and if a woman happen to enjoy the thrill of gambling and wish t participate, then there’s no reason for them to be restricted from doing so.

Gambling is not for only men but I also see no reason why a lady should engage in gambling. Like it looks awkward to me even if there’s no gender barrier to those that can gamble. A man is known for the responsibility bestowed on him to take care of himself and his family. So they always look for many means to diversify and earn a living. While a lady is required to be fed under a man, if she want to still be an independent woman, I don’t see gambling as a way through to achieve that. Women are more emotional than men and big losses in gambling back to back can cause them harm to their well being and health. So it’s better they don’t even think of engaging in gambling as a scape through for a sustainable means of income or even for fun.

I once read a study that said that female gamblers are more likely to commit suicide than male gamblers, female gamblers are twice as likely to attempt suicide as male gamblers.
But beyond that, gambling is a game of money, so anyone with cash can gamble, regardless of gender.
Gambling for fun is fine, but gambling can also be a coping mechanism for some people.
There are some signs that gambling is no longer just for fun, and it is important to be able to recognize these signs to avoid gambling addiction. People who are obsessed with gambling may make poor decisions that can lead to serious losses over time.

Women can gamble, it is not a sin, but they should do it responsibly, because its more unbefitting for a woman to get addiction with gambling, but when thigs could be done in a more controlled manner, everyone should be allowed to have the same benefits others are getting from gambling, because its all about fun and this is not aimed on men alone, as long as women can also afford it.
