There are differing opinions about what the OP should do with her daughter, who he says is only 17 year old. I'm not specifically saying he should stop or prevent she from gambling, but I am saying he needs to increase supervision. Gambling isn't gender-specific, but in some cultures, female gamblers are considered bad. Of course this depends on each country's culture and religious background and I can't say it's all bad.
Yes, you are rightly saying that gambling has no gender, but it depends on culture and religion. The OP is already gambling and has shared this case here, which shows that their family and culture are flexible regarding gambling. For women, they should be independent to some extent, so that if there is no one in their life who can take care of them, they are capable of self earning. For that, they can be given some skills, which could be anything. Since her father has a successful gambling background, it would be beneficial to allow her to receive education at home so that she can gain skills from her father.
