As you know, men and women have divided positions in various fields of activity for a long time. Females have successfully mastered many jobs previously considered the domain of men. They learned how to drive cars, operate machines, etc. Males also started getting jobs they had never done before. But what about the field of gambling?
Men and Women in Casinos
Traditionally, gambling is a business of men. According to traditional stereotypes, women rarely love this hobby, are not prone to adventures, and do not know how to play well. The real situation in many countries can surprise supporters of this point of view.
You can always see women in casinos.
However, more men are visitors to gambling clubs, and ladies usually just keep company. This fact was the basis of the opinion that men play much better than women because they more often practice.
Moreover, according to the observations, women prefer slot machines, leaving the game at the tables to men. It gave reason to believe that women can not effectively follow the game strategy, do bankroll management, and control emotions in the game.
Psychological Studies
There is also a view that women are simply too lightheaded and stingy to lose money or even risk them.
However, a study by Harvard scientists headed by Larry Tervendera showed that the inability of the fair sex to play well in the casino is just a myth created by men.
They conducted an experiment where about forty thousand men and women from different countries played games in various casinos with the same initial amount. The results surprised the researchers because women had won much more money.
- Furthermore, women played much more aggressively and made more bets.
- They chose the best moment to stop the game and more skillfully managed the bankroll.
- Their intuition also played into the hands of women.
As you can see, it completely refutes the notorious error.
Even though women visit casinos less, they play with more enthusiasm than men. Not sitting out for hours at the tables playing poker, blackjack, and roulette, they are often well aware of the nuances of rules and strategies.
This suggests that many female players are addicted to online casino games. Moreover, it makes it possible to approach the game more thoroughly and first learn the basics in free versions. That is, women take it more thoroughly and judiciously, and it has a positive effect on the game's result.
Summary
In general, if talking about gambling on the global level, women have every chance to get ahead of men in this area.
