In the age where feminists advocate and articulate ‘Men and Women’ equality every now and then, our readers may feel interested to know if both genders perform equally well on cricket betting platforms. To the surprise and agony of feminists, let us be very clear about the statistics that unbiasedly show disparity in number, betting choices, deposits and success of male and female bettors. 

This is never to suggest that women are inferior but not all fields are their forte and there is nothing wrong about it. Men and women are made to complement each other. In a few fields, we compete with each other and that’s fine. However, men excel in some domains whereas women are next to none in some fields. 

In this blog post, we will take a closer, and curious look at gender-specific cricket betting details. 

Women Bet Less, Men Bet More

Historically, gambling has always been a men’s trait. This is due to their high risk appetite. Even though logic plays a role in betting, helping bettors to find profitable odds, it never guarantees wins. Events are unpredictable and you can be sure of the outcome only when an event unfolds. Therefore, men and women have different risk appetite and their representations on T20 cricket betting platforms establish it.  

However, with the passage of time, women have been showing interest in sports betting. Though like most men, most women are casual gamblers, some are extremely serious about winning bets. You may ask who does not want to win? We will tell everyone but not all make a serious effort. Only a few consider betting beyond their favorite pastime. If it comes to female bettors, seriousness is a rare quality in them and this explains why only a few of them succeed. 

Bookmakers’ Biases

Many online bookmakers have prejudices against female bettors. They even change their approach to bettors based on their gender. On many well-known betting platforms, female bettors are only 1/10th of male bettors. If one of the reasons for such a wide gap is that few women are betting enthusiasts, then another probable reason is close inspection of female accounts which are restricted to lower betting limits. 

Successful betting requires an in-depth understanding of mathematics and probability along with risk assessment. These basic requirements make betting attractive to men because most of them choose engineering, programming and mathematics as their career paths. However, the changing time witnesses more women becoming successful in the men-dominated fields. Hence, many of them are now taking interest in betting. They are thoughtful about choosing betting options and strategies and serious about winning bets too. The number is on the rise. 

Social Influences and Scientific Elements 

Like cricket as sport, betting has been historically associated with the rich, elite class. Even at one point of time, women were not allowed at such establishments. 

Betting or gambling was used to be considered a social stigma and that perception still exists. This is another factor why only fewer women gamble, compared to male gamblers. However, Bingo is an interesting case of study. Due to its social acceptability, bingo is extremely popular among women and their large participation is a witness to their love for it. 

Cricket betting is somewhat a different concept. Especially if it comes to T20 betting, it becomes more important not to take the thrill of betting on a light note. Every minute, every move and every moment is full of thrills. A simple catch or a single run,  a miss or a wicket fall at a crucial moment can turn out to be a game changer. 

Bettors don’t have the luxury to snooze off, wake up, watch the match, reassess the odds and place the bets. They must watch the game from the toss to the end to figure out if their initial predictions are in keeping with the twists and turns as the match progresses or if they need a rethink. 

Many women, due to their risk-averse character, consider betting as investment instead of entertainment. According to studies, 20% of women buy data analytical tools compared to 15% of men. Smaller deposits reflect women are keen on testing systems and reducing their initial risk, in their effort to stay more disciplined over their bankroll compared to men. 

Wrapping Up

Compared to women, men are more frequent and greater consumers of sports.. However, the gap is getting narrower. IPL’s rising popularity among women supports our observation. With that, the number of women playing Google Satta Matka is going upwards. 

Remember, though women easily subscribe to emotion, they are smarter bettors than men at an entertainment level. Only if they continue to show such smartness, they can outsmart men at a serious level too. By dovetailing intuition and emotion with analysis and logic, they can be really good at betting.
