I think that rather than it being a gender bias, it seem more to be a biological issue. Gender bias is not the right word here, I think. Men are just wired to take risks and women are wired to keep out of risk's path. Survival of the species depended on those "biases". So it does not strike me odd that more men would take risks like gambling while women would rather not lose their money (life's blood).

Women are definitely in the advantage here.
along side - woman focuses on risks while man focuses on profit. Both have different ways of perceiving things. In our society woman are very careful in money matter because most of the people are middle class - they live pay cheque to pay cheque so they would not risk their little savings on gambling. Rather they will invest it somewhere to be on safe side.
