Harvard Study Reveals That Women Are Better Gamblers - 07-14-07

July 14 - In a recent research project conducted by scientists at the Harvard medical school, it was reported that female gamblers playing for high stakes are more successful and win more frequently than their mail counterparts when betting on sports events. The study made use of data supplied by the Austrian online gaming company Bwin.com.

The project sampled 40,499 people and revealed that women with more effective at gambling on sports than men. The project was partially funded by Bwin and will be released publicly soon.

A number of interesting conclusions were drawn during the eight month period of the project. Gamblers were studied over a period of eight months during 2005. Women were surprisingly found to bet up to 15% more cash on average. Women were also found to be 50% less likely to lose their bets.

Editor: I have no idea why they needed a study. I could have told them that men are more emotional about sports and are hence more likely to make emotional betting decisions. Not rocket science, really ;)
