Gender in the world of betting
Once I watched an elderly couple in a casino, and I was surprised how actively the woman was placing bets. While her husband was slowly spinning the roulette, she was excitedly choosing new machines and clearly knew what she wanted. Later, I began to notice that women play no less than men, they just do it differently. To understand where this feeling comes from, I started looking for information and here it is — https://www.uvig.org/which-gender-gambles-more/. The article has many interesting details: how men often choose sports betting, and women — slot machines and lotteries. It turned out to be a small personal discovery — we often do not notice the obvious because of stereotypes. But it is precisely such moments, seen by chance, that can become an impetus for rethinking entire beliefs.
Hi. Today, my colleagues and I discussed the difference in people's behavior when it comes to intuitive decisions. Some people follow logic, while others rely on their inner voice. And you know, over the years, I've become increasingly convinced that the balance of these approaches is the key. Especially when not only the result but also self-confidence is at stake.
