Not kids. The number of women gamblers is on the increase, reports John Scarne, a well known au t h o r i t y on card games, Gay Pauley the nation's gambling habits and the finan cial gains and losses involved. Poker faces, four to one, now belong to women, he said, and some of the girls are more skilled than the men at the game. Scarne estimated that close to $2 billion changes hands annual ly among women gamblers, and their annual losses in poker run approximately $100 million. "I know of women who drop S200 or S300 a week," said Scarne. "Here in New York, I would say there are 80,000 wom en playing poker one, two, some times three nights a week." How do they cover their losses? "Well, some of them don't have to . . . they can afford it," said Scarne. "But a lot of house hold budgets are being wrecked. I know of one woman who ran up a $7,500 debt before her hus band found out. What could he do when he discovered the mess . . . nothing but borrow money to pay off the debt." Scarne, who said most of his mail now is from women, said poker has outrun bridge as wom an's favorite card game because bridge "taught them about cards. A good bridge player knows a poor one; but women think poker is more a game of chance." Scarne figured that feminine gamblers are on the increase be cause more women work, so have more money; some gamble to escape boredom; others have only one goal the winnings. And all are following the gambling instinct which each of us has," said Scarne. "Only woman's seems to be stronger. Look at the way they gamble on the selection of a husband." Women, used to talking their way past many a trouble spot, use the chatter technique instead of the standard poker face to bluff at cards. "Their bluffing is verbal rather than physical," said Scarne.
