Not triads, her husband owns two restaurants nearby. He bets on the horses but only tenners and twenties, nothing like his missus who is absolutely mad for roulette.

By:
they are mad gamblers. I've seen them in Chinatown where they come out the restaurant and straight in the bookies and back again. The bookies even have Chinese writing on the signs

gamblers are nearly all either fairly stupid or very intelligent. women tend to be more towards the average end of intelligence. they would regard gambling as being for idiots. and they wouldn't be sharp enough in a mathematical sense to do gambling as something serious. have you have ever seen a woman use a spreadsheet, never mind be a computer programmer? i'm sure there are some, but not many. if youve ever tried to get a female cashier in a bookies to understand anything vaguely complicated, youll know what i mean! Patronising twaddle! I'm a woman, AND I can program. C/C++/VB/VBA... bring it on. |

Never personally known a women gambler, never seen one n a bookie, not that i go in them really but its always men walking in and out, and none of any of my female friends would have a clue, and there are none on here that i know of either, apart from the ones that pretend to be women. well I'M on here, and I'm a woman... can't believe what I'm reading, you lot are stuck in the dark ages! |

rob_dylan 04 Aug 13 02:55 Collected a bet from laddies a few weeks back for Murray spoty, they paid out early i read it in the paper on the way to work. Went in with my slip, she said, i paraphrase "no we dont pay out on events that havent happened yet, that is like our policy man". She must have thought i was the biggest try-it-on merchant ever, like i was just trying to collect my winnings on the 3.30 at uttoxeter even though it was 10am and the race hadnt been run yet. I tried to explain that they were paying out early as a gimmick and she really needed persuading to ring up customer services to sort it out. In the end i asked her well what price is Murray for spoty. After a few minutes trying to find the market she said oh thats funny, theyre only betting on second place. Exactly. Felt sorry for her really, was only young and on her own and clearly under trained. Women cashiers make me laugh. Was trying to get my money back on a top runscorer bet once when the player didnt play. She didnt understand that it was a void bet and even started trying to explain that in cricket some players dont bat because they are bowlers. It was Marlon Samuels, he wasnt even in the starting XI ffs, i mean a woman cashier explaining the rules of cricket. To me, I mean me. Honestly. What has all that got to with women who gamble? |

sorry ....anyway... apparently, women are more tuned into the cycle of birth and death. Menstrual cycle etc. Maybe we feel the need to live on the edge/experience danger .....or something like that... can't remember the full theory. |

What about Bingo, the lottery, penny arcades, roulette and slot machines in Vegas? Some do enter bookies but they tend to just to put their bets on and leave. It's as much to do with the fact that they tend not to like sport or playing cards as gambling per se. I remember William Hill saying they took more bets from females in X Factor than they did from males, although personally I do find that a little hard to believe.

Hope you are well Delightful? Thought you had left out of principle because of the premium charge!?

I wouldn't believe William if he told me his surname was Hill

See plenty of women in my local bookies shops when I am in there. Mostly old girls playing a euro e/w on the virtuals in Laddies, who invariably get in the way of people trying to place proper bets.

05 Aug 13 14:45 What about Bingo, [b]the lottery, [/b] The Irish Lottery is gambling as you have to go into a betting shop to place a bet. The National Lottery isn't gambling, it's classed as 'fun'. You can buy ticketa at the age of 16 in lots of shops, but not in betting shops. |

Some women have got involved in tv betting in recent years, realising there are markets on shows they enjoy watching like X Factor. It's surely more down to the fact most women don't enjoy sport.
Victoria Coren is a successful gambler as a professional poker player - she won (a million?) in a big poker tournament & writes about it in her memoir which is a great read btw. |

05 Aug 13 14:06 so whats your vice as it were delighted? I've only ever bet on specials. CLYDEBANK29 05 Aug 13 14:47 Joined: 10 Jan 02 Hope you are well Delightful? Thought you had left out of principle because of the premium charge!? Hi Clydebank. I am good thank you, hope you are too. I did leave because of the premium charge and have noticed that there's not the liquidity there was, when I used to bet here. I haven't bothered for a couple of years now, but have had a small dabble on the current BB around various bookmakers in my locale and a couple who still take my bets online. |
