Women Gamblers
Now on Increase,
Expert Declares
By GAY PAULEY
United Press Correspondent
New York URj These days
when a homemaker talks about
a full house she may be discuss
ing cards. 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.
