 Online
Gambling Becomes a Trend for Females
In the gambling world
times are changing. Gone are the days when gambling was a male
dominated field. The picture may look the same for an outsider
who wanders into a poker room or a betting shop or even into a
casino, but ever since the popularity of online gambling
websites caught on, female online gambling is becoming more and
more aggressively prominent in the industry.
Now that the internet has opened up a world of options to
people, new reports are finding that the numbers of women who
visit online gambling sites is gaining in number steadily and in
some areas of gaming women are out numbering men.
Most women still feel intimidated at the prospect of entering a
casino or poker hall but online gambling sites make it
accessible for female players to practice their gaming
techniques and hone their skills in their favorite casino games.
There has always been a stigma attached to gambling for women.
Most women agree that betting shops and casinos have a seedy
image and they wouldn't frequent such places but, when it comes
to online gambling they can join in with the fun and remain
anonymous. As the online gambling industry grows, the nature of
gambling becomes de-stigmatized due to the fact it is so
accessible and we can find online gambling sites that cater more
for women.
We only need to take a look around us to see what is happening
in poker tournaments. Many of the new comers are women who have
practiced and practiced in the online gambling poker sites and
have got their skills up to such a level that they can compete
for big money. Of course there have always been token female
players in poker competitions but the female players then were a
rare breed.
Many online gambling websites say that women poker players are
gambling but they play with their identities hidden and usually
give themselves a strong, manly type of alter ego. They do this
because they do not want male players to see that they are
female and try to take advantage or intimidate them. Strangely
enough, many male players in online gambling sites give
themselves sexy female avatars because they want to lure the
other players into a false sense of security and then surprise
them with their more aggressive online gambling techniques.
Categorizing males and females into these two groups seems a
little backward, like we are living in the 1950's when women
were considered to be the weaker sex and men thought they spent
all day applying lipstick and swapping brownie recipes with
their lady friends. Of course these times are long gone but in
the gambling and online gambling world there is still, in a few
circles that backward mentality.
Online gambling will gradually eradicate that ridiculous image
and women will show themselves to be a force to be reckoned
with, whether online gambling or in the poker rooms of Caesars
Palace.
