Why are there no women card counters?

Question

I have noticed that all of the card counting books are written by men. When I try to investigate on the internet of women card counters, there are none. I have been practicing a lot, about 4 hours per day. I think I am getting pretty good. Are there really hardly any women card counters? I guess this will be good for me, I will never be suspected.

Answer 1

I have no real theories for this that arnt sexist, but, ima give my opinions anyways.

-More women than men arnt confident enough in there math abilities to engage in a mentally challenging activity.

-More men than women are actually confident enough to engage in a such a wildly outside the box idea as a sourse of money.

-The average man makes more money than the average woman so a man is more likely to have excess cash to invest in such an adventure

Possibly some combination of all of these factors limit the number of women confident enough to enage in the learnign curve of doing so.  I just wanna point out that i think no matter whow you examine this it going to apear sexist.  Those are my beleifs, i also beleive that there are women card counters just not as many, i know i have talked to at least one.

Answer 2

It's not that there aren't any women card counters.  They just don't write books about it.  The casinos are full of women card counters.  Just F.Y.I., the casinos suspect everybody.  

Answer 3

Are you asking why there are no women card counters?  Or none that decided to write a book?

I'm sure there are plenty, maybe they aren't good writers.

Answer 4

Most women hate cards because their husbands spend so much time on it.  It's not weird for you to do it though, my cousin can do it extremely well and she's only 13.  

Answer 5

Perhaps only the women counters have been smart enough to not get caught. lol.  Or to write books about it and show everyone else how to do it and reveal all of their secrets to the casinos.  I'm trying to get a team together, I'm in Washington state, more specifically, about 12 miles north of Seattle.  

you can email me through my profile if you have any questions or just want to say hi.
