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.

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!

yes they play bingo! and scratchcards! the not very bright female plays those, whereas the not very bright male has a few quid on the footy or horses.
when i say not very bright, im not being mean. i just mean people who arent likely to be spending friday nights pouring over spreadsheets to come up with their bets. ie 99% of the population.

How much do betfair pay these people?
No one in their right mind starts **** like this unless they are getting paid.

agree with bob
I would say that women have more sense .. but i think male testosterone plays a part
We want to beat the system .. we want to feel we are winners when in reality gambling as a whole is for mugs , men then get caught up in the cycle of chasing losses (we refuse to lose) where a woman will have a flutter more for fun & accept they'll probably lose as soon as they pay their money , women probably never win much but will also never lose the house !

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.

i used to know a woman who playes cards very well at casinos etc in london,she now in las vegas,very professional ,but never met a female bookie dweller
have you have ever seen a woman use a spreadsheet, never mind be a computer programmer?
Computer programming in the early days was dominated by women, so there must be a large cultural element in determining these things. In America, soccer is a girls' sport. In Britain, rounders is.

My missus likes to have a bet when we go racing, but it doesn't interest her at any other time. Having said that I had to put £20 on Tropics for her yesterday because she saw it on The Morning Line, and that was her only winner when we went to York last week.
I think women would rather go shopping than waste money gambling.

I know one woman who likes a bet once or twice a week and she's pretty good. Also the women staff in my local Koral are pretty knowledgeable although they will switch their TV over to Homes under the hammer etc if there are no male staff on.
Women gamble all the time.
It's a game called 'bareback'.
It's fun. High stakes though, you could lose your health, 30% of your income or, if you're really unlucky, both.

my Gran did, she was a manageress of an independent bookies in the 60's but she refused to work for Laddies when they purchased the group.

Having managed one for four years, I can confirm she/they have a valid point.

Women are more risk adverse then men..it is their nature
but there are some women gamblers
However women like the lottery, scratch card and bingo sort of things
they deem they can win large amounts for small stakes(relatively little risk)
but they can get hooked on the gambling addiction as men do
My main fear is...will they stop men gambling
they seem intent in stopping men doing anything else
(no smoking indoors, no lads mags, etc)
..and even worse the BBC want us to watch women's football

lol have you heard that new rod stewart song,the man wants to be tamed!
"she makes me happy" he sings a hundred times,gotta be true to yourself rod,even if it means working 80 hours a week,living in a one bedroomed flat just so you can have a bit of fun gambling ,drinking and smoking the odd bit of bobski,o and a new $hag every now and again 
or what!?
or what!?
If a woman goes in to a bookies, she's just gonna' have to listen to so much crap, she'll wish she hadn't bothered!
The few that do bet will just be dodging pervs if she's a looker, and probably even if she isn't, get asked if she needs help filling in a slip and get repeatedly told by OAP guessers called Doug that spend all day, every day in there, spunking their pension in 50p increments that "We don't get many ladies in here". Faceless internet betting must be even more of a blessing for women generally than it is to me, for meaning I rarely have to come in to contact with FOBT players.

poor annie,drums on about poker and noboby rates her as a mention on why dont woman gamble
My missus does £5 in bets every Saturday. I'll run her over to the bookies and she goes in and does her bets.
She loves watching Jeff Sterling and she ticks off her bets one by one ie. she does a lot of those both teams to score bets. She like playing bingo so I can see the similarities but she's a hopeless gambler, getting an average of 1 or 2 bets up a season. Keeps her happy though.
I on the other hand never go near a bookies. I may play poker all day but I've done just 3 or 4 bets all year so far.

I used to work for HillBillies - these cashiers sound like prime management material to me! Seriously, if I ever had to phone a manager and one of the women answered, I'd just disconnect the call. Completely clueless.
Good at giving BJs to senior management though.

no she comes across as fine,fine,fine! but im thinking if there was a vote and if everyboby was totally honest,how many would wish they had never got involved in gambling in the first place?i love it but in a different life would i even miss it?
ah you see mik,its the men with power thing again,although not sure id liked to be sucked by at least 95% of the woman ive seen working in betfair lately
I have never seen any sexism in betting shops, racing or gambling in general myself
blokes are quite decent towards women..
well not I would call sexism...
still I suppose there is the odd exception

A Chinese woman in my local shop plays the fobt's. She can lose 2K a day no problem.
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.
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
used to watch a group play majhong at a Casino in Leicester, you should have seen the £50 notes flying around and that was in the 80's
I bet, play bingo, dont do scratchcards, like horses and football betting x

Why is it that when a woman does post here no one seems to beleive shes a woman?
lol its true, im only messing, it would be strange if there wasnt any registered female players, but im intrigued to know why women dont gamble, they know how to spot a bargain and buy at the right price

A girfriend of mine many years ago had a mum who had a bet every day. It was mainly returned favs in 5p yankees. She layed about a fiver a day.
I read a book once
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.
sorry to hear that m8,think you need to change your username,that one is pretty near gthe truth

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.

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.

I beg to differ.
GAMBLING
It's against the law in the UK to place bets or enter bookies shops when under the age of 18.
The government made that rule.
FUN
Anybody aged 16 can buy a National Lottery ticket.
The government made that rule.
The rules don't match, therefore one is gambling, and one is not.
