Even though there are women who gamble, it's basically a man's game.

LOL

More inaccurate information from the board's defrocked reporter.

Earth to alan: a shit load of slot machines are played by women.

They also frequent the craps table and carnival games.

To claim that casino gambling is "basically a man's game" and to imply that few women gamble borders on the misogynistic, let alone the clueless.

Bill Yung has something in his latest post. I would say most women don't give a damn about spending money in a casino and they're more concerned with security and how much money there is in a bank account or investments.

Even though there are women who gamble, it's basically a man's game.

I see more women than men in the casinos.

Dan, could you re-ban Bill Yung? He's pure troll and much of his writing is incoherent. Dude is a psychobabbler.

Please note: do not hire V to be your attorney. Guaranteed he will foul up your case. Example: I wrote "even though there are women who gamble" he ignores it and proceeds to tell us women do play slots and table games.

Gee, I guess when I said there are women who gamble this idiot V figured that didn't include slots or table games.

And here's another warning. V is likely to quote the wrong facts in any legal dispute. He couldn't even Google the question about the gender of gamblers. If he had, he would have found 14% are women.

Since V clearly hasnt a practice to support a clerk or even someone to answer the phone I'll do the work for him.

Dan could you ban MisterV. He's a troll.

So I'm a troll for calling you out for your ridiculous comments?

Hey pussy, if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.

You open the door to hoots of derision when you post.

[Alan Mendelson]

You made the ridiculous comments V.

Are you sure you weren't disbarred? Are you practicing from a prison cell perhaps?

Mickey, I'm not sure Dan ever banned OneShitBlunder's sock puppet Bill Yung (as he did do with OneShitBlunder). Regardless, Dan I second Mickey's recommendation - trolling and intentionally-obfuscated New Age drivel are unwelcome.

I think that you've "hit" a nerve there, Alan. I've "wondered" this more than "one" time about the Wizard's slimy bunch of AP's. At least, the systems players don't propagate more pyscho-baloney as a mental defense mechanism when they gang up on me for simply pointing the errors of their ways.

Yesterday, I read an article from a prominent psychiatrist in the time Hitler's rise. About the oppression of free speech and thought. He had accomplished that across Europe with the same sort of glorified stuff about Germany, years before he ever dropped any real bombs.

Say, did anyone ever give a reason for OneHitWonder's banning? What exactly was it? I remember that he posted a picture of gun that pointed backward, and, then, he was gone. Gamblers can't take that sort of humor?

[Bill Yung]

Don't worry there, clone of Jacobson, the real spambot, here to milk Mickey while you write another paperback piece of shit. I have other things to do, anyway, and was well on my out of here. There's nothing left of the gambling forums?

But, just for you, I will make a few more appearances for old time's sake, God willing, of course, and Devil, too. Can't forget about that Devil.

[MisterV]

You made the ridiculous comments V.

You wrote: "Even though there are women who gamble, it's basically a man's game."

As worded, it implies that few women gamble, when the reality is just the opposite.

Then again, my opinion on the issue is based on personal observation of the patrons at the two tribal casinos I usually visit, not Las Vegas casinos.

Here in Oregon the casino's bingo parlor seems to be filled with more women than men, and there's a roughly equal amount of men and women playing slots.

Curious, I just googled the issue.

Well, whaddya know.

[Alan Mendelson]

Wiggle wiggle, V.

I used USA statistics. With 86%, gambling is basically a man's game.

Now if you really were a good lawyer you'd know when to shut up. And remember: a lawyer who defends himself has a fool for a client.

[MisterV]

You've proven nothing, alan, but that seems to be your forte.

[redietz]

I really hate bothering to comment, but in the interests of science and the public good and all that.

Mr. Mendelson, really, how many damn articles did you google to cherry pick that one? See, that is what I would call misleading journalism or a facsimile thereof. You'll notice that the lead paragraph has no citations included with its proclamation.

Fortunately, I know a little about gambling stats, and I have friends who are sociologists, and I have done some technical and science writing, so I know when something like this is a blue herring (a cherry picked non-representative study). My late wife was a demographer, so that also sensitizes me to statements that do not sound correct.


Mr. V, I take you to task also for making a case based on anecdotal observations, which a lawyer should never do.

The article Mr. Mendelson link-posted provides no real evidence, or even strong support, for what he was arguing. If this is the kind of cherry picking of info Mr. Mendelson does to make a case for his positions, he should basically be shot.

For every hundred papers demonstrating one thing in science, there will be one to 20 papers leaning the other way. That is the nature of research. Had Mr. Mendelson gone to the published academic macro-studies, which would be a legitimate first step, he would have seen that his male-dominant stance, especially in the United States, was unsupportable.

Don't take my word for it -- go look at the research on gender and gambling. You'll find, first of all, that the majority of gambling by people in the US ages 45-64 is done by females.

Mr. Mendelson, this was nonsense. Using that particular web page to buttress your undisciplined comment was sheer junk writing. And Mr. V, making stupid anecdotal arguments is beneath you.

It doesn't matter how many women come to the casinos. They are smart enough to let the arguing over gambling to the men.

Alan. Alan. ALuuuuun. Define gambling. Betting $2k on a sports bet might be defined by some as gambling. Sitting at a penny slot machine, smoking so many cig's that is appears the chair is on fire might be gambling. But in a different sort of way.

The notion has never struck me to do an actual head count as it did this fella at USA. But I'd say the sportsbook is 90% men. Machines 60% women. Blackjack maybe 60% men on weekdays and 60% women on weekends.

This is vital infomation for Hector the rejector. IF you see more than 10 women in the sportsbook, take the dog. Less than 10, take the favorite.

"Smart" or merely "indifferent?"

There is a difference.

Let's go with Smarter Woman for $500 Alex. Maybe it's different for Mr V since he is an attorney. But I make it a rule NEVER to argue with a woman. Just when you make valid point and appear to have won? Bam, they change the subject.

Man, "I'm wearing blue jeans to the concert tonight." She, "don't you dare wear jeans to the concert, I'm wearing a skirt and you'll look ridiculous."

Man, "But it's going to get cold." She "here put on these plaid shorts." Man "No, I'm wearing jeans."

Man, "See everyone here is wearing jeans." She "O yeah, well what about your Aunt Bernie"? Man "What about my Aunt Bernie"? She "duh, your Aunt wears a wig." Man "what does my aunt wearing a wig have to do with this concert"? She "shut up and go buy me some pants. I'm FREEZING."

[Alan Mendelson]

Please redietz, V, moses, et al: provide a link with DIFFERENT research.

[Alan Mendelson]

Here Dietz. Instead of picking an age group, go with a national report that I found from a link from the American Gaming Association:

"Men and women were equally likely to gamble in the past year, but men gambled more frequently and had larger wins and losses, particularly on sports betting and games of skill."

Stop cherry picking the stats you want.
